Summary

This magnesium supplement contains several additives, including hydroxypropyl cellulose and microcrystalline cellulose, which are common in tablet formulations but contribute to a higher level of processing. While the magnesium glycinate form is bioavailable, the presence of multiple fillers and binders slightly detracts from the overall formulation quality. The absence of harmful artificial sweeteners or dyes is a positive aspect, but the extensive use of additives limits its score.
