insights Analysis
Nutricost's Potassium + Magnesium distinguishes itself by utilizing citrate forms for both minerals. Magnesium Citrate is widely recommended by nutritionists and frequently praised in online reviews for its high absorption rate and relative gentleness, though it can have a mild laxative effect at higher doses. Potassium Citrate is also well-absorbed and often favored for its systemic benefits beyond just electrolyte balance, such as kidney stone prevention. The product offers a moderate 210mg of magnesium and the standard 99mg of potassium, striking a good balance for daily maintenance without excessive doses. Its significantly low price per serving makes it a strong contender for value.
- Uses highly bioavailable forms (citrates) for both magnesium and potassium.
- Very low price per serving, offering excellent value.
- Generally well-tolerated and gentle on the digestive system.
- Magnesium dosage (210mg) might be too low for individuals with significant deficiencies or high demand (e.g., intense athletes).
- The potassium dosage is standard due to regulations but might not be sufficient for those with higher needs.
