Magnesium
MegaFood Magnesium is a mineral supplement with a focus on magnesium. Each tablet provides 50.000 mg of Magnesium, which is considered underdosed when compared to typical clinical dosages for magnesium supplementation, often ranging from 200-400 mg. This underdosing significantly impacts its efficacy, resulting in an N+ Score of 28 and an 'F' grade, indicating poor quality. The product contains only 2 ingredients, including 50.000 mg of Spinach, and boasts a strong label transparency score of 100%. While the transparency is commendable, the low active ingredient dosage limits its potential benefits for individuals seeking substantial magnesium support.
