Nutricost Magnesium Complex

Product overview

Nutricost Magnesium Complex is a magnesium supplement in capsule form, providing 500 mg of magnesium per daily dose according to the product information. It is available in packs of 30 or 240 capsules, so you can choose a size based on how you prefer to plan your purchases. The formula combines three forms of magnesium in one product: magnesium oxide, magnesium citrate and magnesium glycinate. This makes it an interesting option if you are looking for a supplement that combines different magnesium compounds rather than containing just one form.

Nutricost is the brand behind the product. The information available here does not describe the brand’s founding, history or specific manufacturing philosophy, so we do not want to attribute any unverified background or methods to the company. Based on the product information, we can say that the magnesium content and amount are clearly stated, as are the capsules’ plant-based material and other ingredients. The product is intended as a food supplement and may suit you if you want magnesium in a practical format for home use or to take with you as part of your daily routine.

A daily dose provides 500 mg of magnesium, equivalent to 119% of the EU Nutrient Reference Value according to the stated labelling. The packaging also says to store the product in its original container in a cool, dry place. Always follow the dosage and safety information on the label.

Active ingredients & science

The active ingredient is magnesium, listed at 500 mg per daily dose. The magnesium comes from magnesium oxide, magnesium citrate and magnesium glycinate. These are different chemical forms of the mineral, but the product information does not state what proportion of the total amount comes from each form. It is therefore not possible to compare their respective contributions in this particular blend.

These are authorised nutrition claims for magnesium and describe the mineral’s normal functions in the body—not the effects of taking a supplement in addition to a varied diet.

Different magnesium compounds may have different properties, for example in how they dissolve and are tolerated. However, the available information provides no comparative data on absorption or bioavailability for this product. If you want to assess whether the dose is suitable for your circumstances, read the label and, if necessary, consult a healthcare professional.

Benefits & uses

Magnesium Complex is an option if you want to supplement your diet with magnesium and appreciate having several forms of magnesium in one product. Here are some situations in which it may be relevant:

• As part of a planned supplement routine: If you already use food supplements, a clearly stated daily dose can make it easier to keep track of your daily intake.
• If you want several forms of magnesium: The combination of oxide, citrate and glycinate differs from products that list only one magnesium compound.
• The supplement may therefore be a practical way to obtain magnesium as part of your diet, without replacing food or recovery.
• If you want clearly stated contents: The amount of magnesium per daily dose and the three listed forms are provided in the product information, making it easier to compare products.
• When planning purchases: Two pack sizes, 30 and 240 capsules, let you choose between a smaller and a larger pack.
• If you prefer plant-based capsule material: The capsule shell is described as vegetarian and, according to the ingredient information, consists of hypromellose and water.

Magnesium requirements and the suitability of a supplement vary between individuals. The product should be considered a complement to a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle, not a replacement for meals or medical treatment.

Use & dosage

The product information states 500 mg of magnesium per daily dose, but the full dosage instructions are not provided here. Therefore, follow the dosage instructions on the packaging and do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If you are unsure how to interpret the stated daily dose, check the label before use.

The available information does not state whether the product should be taken at a particular time or with food. Follow the instructions on the packaging and choose a routine that works for you. If you use other food supplements or medicines, it may be sensible to review your total intake with a pharmacist or healthcare professional, particularly if you plan to use the product regularly. Do not add other magnesium products without first taking their magnesium content into account.

Store the product in its original container in a cool, dry place. Keep it out of the reach of children and follow any other warnings on the label.

Quality & manufacturing

The available product information lists the contents, daily dose, capsule material and some excipients. However, it does not describe manufacturing standards, country of production, certifications, laboratory testing or specific purity checks. We therefore cannot promise or claim that the product has undergone specific testing or been manufactured to a particular certified standard.

The information states that the capsule shell is vegetarian and that the other ingredients are microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide. No allergens requiring declaration are listed in the information provided. Nevertheless, always check the current packaging before use, especially if you have allergies or sensitivities, as the label is the most important source of up-to-date product information.

The storage advice is to keep the product in its original container and store it in a cool, dry place. The stated pack sizes are 30 and 240 capsules. The available information does not include details about packaging materials, recycling or sustainability practices, so these characteristics should not be assumed.

Who is this product suitable for?

The product may be of interest to adults who want to supplement their diet with magnesium and are looking for a combination of magnesium oxide, magnesium citrate and magnesium glycinate. It may also suit anyone who wants to compare magnesium supplements based on the amount per daily dose, the forms of magnesium used and the pack size. There is no information here indicating that the product has been specifically developed for a particular age group or life situation.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a midwife, doctor or other healthcare professional before using food supplements. The same applies to people with a medical condition, those taking medicines and anyone already using other products containing magnesium. If you are unsure whether a magnesium supplement is suitable for you, seek individual advice before starting.

No allergens requiring declaration are listed in the product information, but always check the current label if you have an allergy or sensitivity. The product contains a vegetarian capsule and is therefore described as having plant-based capsule material; the available information does not provide grounds for calling the entire product vegan. Food supplements are not intended to replace a varied diet. Keep the product out of the reach of children and follow all warnings on the packaging.

Summary

Nutricost Magnesium Complex combines three forms of magnesium and provides 500 mg of magnesium per daily dose according to the labelling. It is available in two pack sizes, and the capsule shell is described as vegetarian. The product information also lists the other ingredients and storage advice, but provides no details about specific certifications or testing. This may be an option if you want a magnesium supplement containing several stated magnesium compounds and a clearly specified amount per daily dose. Read the label for dosage instructions and warnings, and consult a healthcare professional if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medicines or have questions about your magnesium intake.
