Overview

Doctor's Best High Absorption Magnesium provides 200mg of elemental magnesium per 2-tablet serving from magnesium lysinate glycinate chelate. This chelated form bonds magnesium to the amino acids lysine and glycine, which dramatically improves absorption compared to oxide or citrate forms. The chelation also minimizes the laxative effect common with other magnesium forms. With 52,000+ reviews, this is the #1 best-selling magnesium supplement on Amazon. The 240-tablet count provides a 4-month supply at the recommended 2 tablets daily.
