What are the amounts of each form of magnesium used in Ageless Multi-Magnesium?Updated an hour ago
First, the substance of the concern: magnesium oxide by itself does have a fair reputation as a cheap, poorly-absorbed filler — that critique is accurate when oxide is used on its own. That's not how it's used in Ageless Multi-Magnesium, though. It's the core mineral inside Sucrosomial® Magnesium, a patented delivery technology that wraps it in a protective phospholipid matrix so it survives digestion intact and absorbs well, without the poor uptake or laxative effect standalone oxide is known for. It's also the clinically studied form in a published human trial showing better absorption than standard oxide, citrate, and bisglycinate — and it's the largest single component of our magnesium blend by a wide margin, not a top-off ingredient. So the oxide in this formula is doing real, validated work, not filling space cheaply.
On why we don't publish the exact milligram breakdown of each of the seven forms: it's genuinely two things, not one. Like most complex, multi-form formulas in this category, it's a proprietary blend — pretty standard industry practice. But there's also a practical, testing-based reason: our finished-product testing verifies total elemental magnesium (the 350mg per serving), not the individual amount of each of the seven forms. That means we can confidently stand behind the total dose on the label, but we're not in a position to publish per-form numbers we haven't independently verified at that level of granularity. We'd rather be precise about what we can and can't substantiate than give you numbers that sound exact but outrun our testing.
Same logic applies to the citrate — it's included at a modest amount for its own well-tolerated, gut-supportive benefits, not as a filler.
What we can say: Sucrosomial Magnesium is the dominant form in the blend by a wide margin, and the additional forms of magnesium are included in modest, supportive amounts for their own specific, well-tolerated benefits — not as fillers.
We recognize that's not the itemized breakdown you asked for, and we don't want to pretend otherwise — but we hope it's a clearer picture of what's actually in the formula and why we're not disclosing the split.
