Other Ingredients (6)

CarmineColorant

Insect-derived (not vegan/vegetarian) and a recognized cause of IgE-mediated allergic reactions, including documented anaphylaxis. The FDA mandated explicit 'carmine'/'cochineal extract' labeling in 2011 specifically because of these reactions. Not toxic to the general population, but a genuine allergen with no health benefit; plant pigments achieve the same color.

Medium Chain Triglyceride OilCarrier

Fractionated oils rich in C8/C10 triglycerides used as neutral carrier or anti-sticking agent

GelatinCapsule

Protein derived from collagen, used in traditional capsule shells

GlycerinHumectant

Sweet-tasting liquid used in soft capsules and liquids

Sunflower LecithinEmulsifier

Non-GMO, non-allergenic emulsifier derived from sunflower seeds

Vegetable OilCarrier

Edible oils used as carriers in softgels and as processing aids

How to Take It

Best taken in the evening

Magnesium citrate pulls water into the bowel — mildly laxative at higher doses. Evening suits that; split the dose or switch to glycinate if it's too much.

With or without food
Space it a couple of hours from Iron and Calcium

On the label

Take two softgels daily, with a meal. For easier swallowing, take with water before and during ingestion.

General guidance based on the ingredients, not a substitute for the label or your doctor.
