Life Extension Magnesium Caps 500mg (100 Veggie Capsules)
by Life Extension
"Multi-form magnesium complex — oxide, citrate, succinate, and TRAACS bisglycinate in one capsule"
Overview
Life Extension Magnesium Caps provide 500mg of elemental magnesium from four different forms: oxide (for high elemental content), citrate (for bioavailability), succinate (for energy production), and TRAACS bisglycinate chelate (for gentle absorption). This multi-form approach provides broader benefits than single-form magnesium supplements. The 100-capsule count provides over 3 months of daily supplementation.
