Summary
This magnesium supplement contains several additives, including titanium dioxide and vegetable magnesium stearate, which are often criticized for potential health risks and nutrient absorption issues. While the formulation provides magnesium citrate, a bioavailable form of magnesium, the presence of these additives and the overall processing level reduce its score. The product lacks harmful seed oils or artificial sweeteners, but the use of certain additives warrants a moderate penalty.
