Overview

Doctor's Best High Absorption Magnesium is the best-selling magnesium supplement on Amazon with over 45,000 reviews. Each serving provides 200mg of elemental magnesium from magnesium glycinate/lysinate chelate — a form that's significantly better absorbed than magnesium oxide and much less likely to cause digestive issues (diarrhea). Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body and is critical for muscle relaxation, sleep quality, nerve function, and bone health. An estimated 50% of Americans don't get enough magnesium from their diet.
