When comparing magnesium supplements, begin with the Supplement Facts panel. The front label introduces the product; the back label helps you compare it accurately.
1. Look for elemental magnesium
The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements explains that Supplement Facts lists the amount of elemental magnesium, rather than the weight of the entire magnesium-containing compound. Two bottles can therefore use large-looking numbers on the front while supplying different amounts of magnesium per serving.
2. Read the serving size beside the amount
Ixora Life Magnesium Glycinate lists 275 mg of elemental magnesium per three-capsule serving. That is the serving amount, not the amount in each capsule. Check the product page's Supplement Facts image and current bottle label before use.
Our suggested directions are three capsules once daily, or as directed on the product label. Do not exceed the recommended serving. A bottle contains 90 capsules, providing 30 servings at that suggested use. Reading bottle count and serving count together also helps you compare value.
3. Consider the rest of your routine
Look at any other supplements you already take so you are not overlooking additional magnesium. The NIH notes that magnesium supplements can interact with some medicines and that too much supplemental magnesium can cause unwanted effects. A healthcare professional can help you choose an appropriate amount, particularly if you take medication or have a health condition.
A larger number is not automatically a better fit. Do not change your serving based only on a social media recommendation, and do not treat magnesium as a replacement for a varied diet or professional care.
