Some facts:
  1. Amazon now requires all supplements to go through independent testing at their approved labs, with results sent directly to Amazon.
  2. Magnesium glycinate is only about 14% actual magnesium by weight. The rest is the glycine + manufacturing fillers needed.
  3. To get 200mg of magnesium content, you need roughly 1400mg of 'magnesium glycinate'.
  4. A "00" capsule of pure magnesium glycinate should hold about 700-800mg of powder. A "000" capsule might take around 1500mg if you're lucky, but "000" capsules are really rare since they are really big and most production lines aren't set up for it.
I'll leave out a bunch of technical info that's not necessary. Most magnesium supplements are a borderline scam, usually having a very low dose per capsule or using oxide which is poorly absorbed. If you want a true 200mg per serving, find tablets. There are a few out there, and you really have to look, that make 200mg PER TABLET magnesium glycinate products. The tablets will weigh about 1.6-1.7g each.If someone has this and can weigh a few capsules, we will know for sure. My guess? These are probably 100mg each "00" capsules, and they are trying to sell them off before Amazon finds out. Or they really are "000" capsules (really large) and they barely hit 200mg, so they are selling them off because they are too big or just barely making 200. Just a guess.
Yeah my dr recommended I take 400mg throughout the day and it's a struggle to get those with various brands. I was sus reading this just 200mg per day

Quote from PurpleHaddock528 :
Thank Regan era Republicans for killing legislation that wanted to regulate supplements. They can legally lie on supplement label in the US. Unless it's tested by an independent lab just assume it's all a lie.
I don't understand why to not regulate supplements? I know that regulation will increase the size of government as more inspectors, auditors, support staff, etc are needed but that's what you pay the government for... To protect every person from all kinds of shady things. In the case of supplements, it's literally food that one ingests.

Considering the fact that with extra research, social influencing, lifestyle, GMO based for sourcing of regular food that may lack the nutrients and/or minerals in it, easy online access to everything available and elevated levels of marketing from companies, the consumption of supplements has increased more than 100 times in the past 20 years, why can't such a bill be reintroduced?

In the end if the government truly wants to protect the people and keep them happy and healthy then it's not a big expense at all.

I could talk for hours about this subject but it's a bit off topic so I'll say that supplements were and still are a massive business and regulations cut into profits.

Back when regulation was seriously considered f'n Mel Gibson did a commercial about the FBI raiding his home for vitamins and the public are it up. Look it up, it scared people back then because they didn't understand political propaganda as well as the public does today. The commercial is ridiculous.

Also remember that only 18% of magnesium glycinate is actually elemental Magnesium. You're only getting 36mg which is ~9% DV
Label says 200mg of magnesium (as magnesium glycinate) which means its the weight of magnesium. The pill could actually have no magnesium as all for all i know, but according to the label it should have 200mg magnesium

Oh, and look out for this deception;"Magnesium 200 mg per capsule (as magnesium glycinate chelate buffered -magnesium glycinate chelate and magnesium oxide)"Chelated or buffered, it means they filled it with mostly Magnesium Oxide to increase the Mg amount. It might be 200mg actual magnesium in this capsule but it's mostly poorly absorbed Oxide and you are paying for Glycinate. This example is not the item posted here.
This is why they are so cheap

These are what I use to get magnesium. I also used this to raise blood 02 levels.

I'm also open to feedback but from what I've heard capsules are most trash.

You want supplements to be as expensive as medicine?

Thank you, great pictures!

According to this, I would say these are '000' size capsules and probably do have 150-180mg actual magnesium.

It's going to be very difficult to fill 000 capsules to the needed 1400mg so they will probably all be short. Still a good deal for even 150mg/capsule glycinate.

No, I do not.
And even medicines don't need to be as expensive as they currently are. The world over the same pharma companies sell the same patented medicines for cheaper than here.

Things can be made better without it having to cost significantly more. Also, public health is better than private wealth. In US, a significant portion of the population take some or the other supplement. So supplement regulation or some form of testing is a generic benefit for a majority of the population, not just for a select few who form the minority.

According to this, I would say these are '000' size capsules and probably do have near 200mg actual magnesium (as labeled).

It's going to be difficult to fill 000 capsules to the needed 1400mg so they will probably all be very close or a little short. Still a good deal for even close to 200mg/capsule glycinate.
I think you're right. There's this page selling empty capsules https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MT9XTZJ
Looks to be the same size as my pics.

So now that we've basically confirmed the size we still have to confirm that this product has been 3rd party tested for purity. Maybe I'll contact the company and ask for a copy of the test results.

4SKZ8 Mixed with oxide. Does not say proportion of Glycinate / oxide. Seems an inferior product. Guess if it is working for you continue but know exactly what you are taking.
