insights Analysis
Country Life is a respected brand, and their Chelated Magnesium product provides a strong blend. The "Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate" is the key player here, as these forms (like bisglycinate) are highly bioavailable, gentle on the stomach, and effective for a wide range of magnesium-dependent functions, including stress relief, sleep, and muscle health. While Magnesium Oxide is also included, which has low systemic absorption, its contribution to the elemental magnesium content at such a low price per serving makes this product an outstanding value. For consumers looking for a cost-effective way to get some form of chelated magnesium, this product is an excellent choice, despite the minor drawback of the oxide component.
- Contains highly bioavailable Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate.
- Exceptionally low price per serving for a chelated product.
- Good elemental magnesium dose.
- Country Life is a reputable brand.
- Includes lower bioavailability Magnesium Oxide.
- "Rice Protein" as a form is unclear, possibly a carrier.
- May cause mild laxative effects due to Magnesium Oxide.
