What We Like

  • Hypoallergenic: No known allergens, no artificial additives
  • 180 daily doses: Long supply, cost-effective on subscription
  • Magnesium form: Glycinate is the premium choice among magnesium forms

What We’re Missing

  • No external certification: In-house quality standards are high but not independently certified
  • Elemental Mg content: 120 mg elemental magnesium per capsule — multiple capsules needed for higher doses (300–400 mg/day)
