Key Ingredients
Magnesium
(oxide/citrate) 500 mg
____________________
Citrate
Magnesium Citrate is Magnesium bound with citric acid, which is found naturally in citrus fruits. Commonly found in Magnesium supplements, it has been shown to be the most bioavailable form of Magnesium (source) and will therefore be more easily absorbed by your body allowing it toget to work quicker and more effectively.
Oxide
Magnesium Oxide is a combination of Magnesium and oxygen. Typically it isn’t an effective way to treat Magnesium deficiency as some studies have found that it is poorly digested, and therefore not absorbed properly by your body. It is instead frequently used as a short-term remedy for digestive symptoms like acid indigestion, heartburn, and constipation (source) and can also be used as a treatment for migraines (source).
Our Verdict
Due to its high levels of Magnesium, this supplement could be an effective way to combat Magnesium deficiency and its symptoms. It has an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 on Amazon, with 78% of the 1,973 global customers questioned, giving a rating of 5 stars. They also offer a no-questions-asked 365 day 100% full money-back guarantee, which displays the full confidence they have in their product.
However, it should be noted that Magnesium Oxide has been shown to have poor absorption and therefore isn’t an effective way to combat a Magnesium deficiency, though this may be balanced out by the Magnesium Citrate as it is the most bioavailable form of the nutrient.
In addition, though the supplement does state that it ‘helps support healthy muscles’ and a number of customers have mentioned that it has helped them with muscle cramps – it isn’t specifically designed to prevent cramp, and contains only Magnesium; although Magnesium deficiency is a common cause of muscle cramps and spasms, (source) (source), it has also been shown that supplementing other nutrients and vitamins such as B complex (source) and Zinc, may also be an effective way to combat symptoms (source).
