No admissible seller or price observation is published for this product.
Counterfeit risk: not-assessed. No counterfeit-risk assessment has been performed; this is not authenticity clearance.
Formulation-change monitoring: not-assessed. Fewer than two catalog versions are available; absence of a warning is not proof that the formulation never changed.
Match for sleep
may modestly reduce sleep-onset latency in older adults with insomnia, but the evidence is limited and low quality; benefit for general adults or magnesium glycinate specifically is uncertain See evidence

| Ingredient identity | match | The label ingredient resolves to the intervention in this evidence claim. |
| Studied form | unknown | The label reports Magnesium Citrate, but the reviewed claim does not establish one exact studied form. |
| Studied dose | unknown | The label reports 170 mg; the reviewed protocol is “varied; one 8-week trial used 500 mg elemental magnesium daily”, so an exact dose match cannot be established. |

Match for migraine frequency
10 oral-magnesium RCTs (n=789): reduced migraine frequency and intensity vs. placebo (odds ratios 0.20 and 0.27, no CIs given); some trials had inadequate randomization per the review authors. A separate IV arm covered acute attacks, not prevention. See evidence

Match for bone health
Systematic review in older adults: higher magnesium status/intake is associated with greater bone mineral density and, in some studies, lower fracture risk. Evidence is largely observational, so the association does not establish that supplementation prevents fractures. See evidence

Match for cognition
Systematic review of magnesium and cognitive health in adults: the evidence linking magnesium status or intake to cognition is limited and inconsistent, drawn largely from observational data, and the authors call for better-designed studies with repeated magnesium biomarkers before any conclusion. No demonstrated cognitive benefit from supplementation. See evidence

Match for heart health
Meta-analysis of 38 RCTs (2709 participants): magnesium supplementation modestly lowered blood pressure — systolic by about 2.8 mm Hg and diastolic by about 2.0 mm Hg versus control. A small but consistent blood-pressure effect; not shown to reduce cardiovascular events directly. See evidence

Match for inflammation
Meta-analysis of RCTs: magnesium supplementation significantly reduced several inflammatory markers, most consistently serum C-reactive protein (and nitric oxide), versus control. The effect on downstream clinical outcomes is not established — this is a biomarker signal. See evidence
