Osterly Market Magnesium 12-in-1 Complex — 700 mg

Twelve forms, all twelve named on the panel.

Twelve magnesium forms in one capsule — glycinate, citrate, malate, aspartate, gluconate, ascorbate, taurate, oxide, carbonate, chloride, orotate and lactate — each one listed rather than hidden behind the word "complex".

What it's for

Magnesium sits behind more than three hundred enzyme reactions, and most people take in less than the recommended amount from food. The reason multi-form products exist is that the forms behave differently: glycinate is gentle and well absorbed, citrate absorbs fast and loosens the bowel, malate is steady, oxide is cheap and poorly absorbed. Blending them spreads absorption out. It also means no single form is at a large dose.

How to take it

• Follow the label serving, evening suits it
• With or without food; food helps if you get any stomach upset
• Magnesium builds over weeks — judge it at a month, not a night
• Take it two hours apart from antibiotics and thyroid medication. Ask a doctor first if you have kidney disease

On the label

• 700 mg per serving
• Twelve magnesium forms, each named
• 30 capsules or 120 capsules

What this is not

• Not twelve full doses — one serving split twelve ways
• Not a sleep aid, though magnesium is often sold as one
• Not stated as elemental magnesium on the front

The straight answer

Twelve forms sounds better than eight, and eight sounds better than one. In practice a blend divides one serving twelve ways, so no single form arrives in quantity. If you want a known amount of one well-absorbed form, our Magnesium Glycinate 500 mg is the more honest purchase. This one is for people who specifically want the spread.
