Doctor's Best, Magnesium, High Absorption, 100% Chelated, 240 Tablets

Doctor's Best Magnesium – chelated magnesium in tablets

Doctor's Best Magnesium is a food supplement with 240 tablets per pack. Its only nutrient is magnesium, added as a chelate – magnesium lysinate glycinate. In a chelate, magnesium is bound to the amino acids lysine and glycine rather than to an inorganic salt such as oxide or carbonate. Four tablets a day provide 400 mg of magnesium, which is 107% of the nutrient reference value (NRV) for adults. The product is intended for anyone who wants to add magnesium to their diet in a simple, precisely dosed form. Doctor's Best is an American supplement brand, and the country of origin is the United States.

What does one daily dose contain?

One daily dose consists of four tablets, taken two at a time twice a day. Together they contain 4,000 mg of magnesium lysinate glycinate chelate, providing 400 mg of elemental magnesium – 100 mg per tablet. The remaining ingredients are technological additives that give the tablet its shape and make it easy to swallow: cellulose-based emulsifiers and thickeners, fatty acids and their magnesium salts, and silicon dioxide. The product contains no sugar, sweeteners, colours or flavourings. The 240 tablets in the pack last for 60 days at the recommended daily dose.
