NOW Foods Magnesium 400 mg
Description
NOW Magnesium 400 mg supplies a high dose of elemental magnesium in a single veg capsule, for adults who want straightforward magnesium support without a blended formula.
Magnesium is required as a cofactor for roughly 300 enzymes involved in fatty acid production, protein synthesis, and glucose metabolism, and it also plays a role in calcium regulation through its effect on the parathyroid gland.
Each veg capsule supplies 400 mg of elemental magnesium (95% Daily Value) from a blend of magnesium oxide, citrate, and aspartate. The 180 count bottle provides 180 servings, a six-month supply at one capsule daily.
Take 1 capsule daily. NOW manufactures this product in an Intertek GMP certified facility and it carries Non-GMO, Vegan, Halal, and Kosher certifications, and is not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nut, or sesame ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this blended from three magnesium sources instead of one?
NOW combines magnesium oxide, citrate, and aspartate to deliver a high 400 mg dose of elemental magnesium in a single capsule rather than relying on one source alone.
Do I need to take it with food?
NOW's suggested use does not specify food, so it can be taken with or without a meal, whichever is easiest to stick with daily.
How is this different from Magnesium Citrate or Magnesium Malate capsules?
This product is built for a high 400 mg elemental magnesium dose from a blended source in one capsule, while NOW's citrate and malate capsules use a single magnesium form each, generally at a lower elemental amount per capsule.
Who should check with a doctor before taking this?
NOW recommends this for adults only, and anyone who is pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or managing a medical condition should consult a physician before use.
Can taking magnesium cause digestive upset?
Magnesium supplements can cause loose stools in some people, particularly at higher doses; NOW advises consulting a physician if you have questions about how this dose fits your routine.
