How to Take It
Best taken in the evening
Magnesium oxide is poorly absorbed (~4%) and the most laxative form. Most of a dose stays in the gut, which is why it's mainly used for constipation — a poor pick if you're supplementing for magnesium itself.
With or without food
Space it a couple of hours from Iron and Calcium
Label directs 2 servings — keep one for the evening
On the label
As a dietary supplement, take one (1) tablet two times daily with food or as directed by your qualified healthcare professional. Consider taking these other Best Naturals products Calcium, Vitamin D and Zinc.
General guidance based on the ingredients, not a substitute for the label or your doctor.
