RiskLow Risk
Overview
•Provides 120 mg elemental magnesium per capsule as highly bioavailable bisglycinate; typical adult RDA is 310-420 mg/day so 1-3 capsules stay well below the 350 mg supplemental threshold where diarrhea risk increases.
•At or above 351 mg/day total supplemental magnesium, loose stools or diarrhea can occur in sensitive individuals as noted on the label.
•Ascorbyl palmitate at 4.3 mg per capsule contributes negligible vitamin C and serves primarily as an antioxidant stabilizer with no meaningful safety concerns at this level.
•Hypromellose capsule is well-tolerated; product is certified gluten-free, non-GMO, and hypoallergenic with no common allergens declared.
•Suitable for most adults when label directions are followed; keep out of reach of children.
