•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.
