Absorbability

Customers have mixed opinions on the absorbability of this magnesium supplement. While some claim it is easily absorbed by the body, others suggest that it may not be as effective due to its formulation compared to other forms of magnesium. Some customers mention their past experiences with magnesium oxide, which they found to be ineffective and only worked as a laxative.

Quality


I’ve been using for 1 month & have had no issues.


It's basic, high quality, and free of weird fillers.


Glycinate tablets which were hard to swallow and didn’t do anything for me.


After a while (about 3 days) my vertigo went away, and now i do liquid magnesium from the bottle and from the tablets.

Price


And the price really can't be beat.


Great value for your money and great quality.


Cheaper than my store & more store hasn’t had them in stock for awhile, i’ll be ordering again.


Yes, it is more expensive, but your body will absorb it.

Shipping


The product arrived quickly, in excellent condition.

Competitiveness


I asked what type, since there are a variety of types of magnesium, but she said any type as long as it's a good brand.


Do you research and you will know that magnesium citrate is highly rated and easily absorbed than others and recommitted more by doctors.
