Content Analysis
Amount of elemental magnesium
The elemental magnesium content is clearly and accurately stated. However, compared to some other products, the magnesium content, and therefore the %BRD value, is low.
Complex Magnesium Formulation
The organic and chelated magnesium compounds included in the formulation, such as citrate, bisglycinate, malate, and taurate, are types that may offer advantages in terms of bioavailability. The use of these structures has the potential to increase the absorption efficiency of magnesium.
However, it should be noted that the dosages in the formulation are quite low.
Tablet Form
Because tablet form contains a high amount of excipients, the formulation becomes more complex, and due to the high concentration of ingredients, it may cause swallowing difficulties for some individuals. This should be considered especially for the elderly, children, and individuals with dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
Origin of Raw Materials
Unspecified.
Quality Certificates

General Information
Tablet form
The high excipient load in tablet form makes formulation more complex; this poses risks in terms of solubility, stability, and bioavailability. If not properly formulated, the effectiveness of the active ingredients may be reduced. Furthermore, due to the high concentration of ingredients, tablet form may cause difficulty swallowing for some individuals. This should be considered especially for the elderly, children, and individuals with dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
Amount of elemental magnesium
The total amount of elemental magnesium in one tablet is lower than some of the product’s competitors and
provides only 33% of the nutritional reference value (NRV), as can be seen in the table above.
