At 133mg per capsule, you'll need to follow the label's three-capsule-a-day recommendation to reach 399mg — right at the top of the clinically studied supplemental range (100–400mg). At that full dose, you're well-covered for **Magnesium's** broad benefits: energy production, muscle and nerve function, sleep quality, and stress resilience.
The form here is **TRAACS Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate**, a well-absorbed chelated form that's gentle on your stomach — but it's labeled "buffered," meaning **Magnesium Oxide** is blended in to boost the elemental magnesium number. Oxide absorbs at roughly 4%, so a portion of each capsule isn't working as hard as the chelate. You're getting a mix of premium and budget forms in the same pill.
The main caveat is that three-capsule daily commitment. If you take just one capsule, 133mg is at the low end of the effective range, and part of that is coming from the poorly absorbed oxide fraction.
