This one appears to have more magnesium in it...

read the customer review... another misadventure with labeling...

This one reads better:

4 tablets contain 400mg magnesium.

Just pick one chelate and take it. Avoid oxide form, and target 1/2 of the RDA unless you have a doctor's supervision for higher doses.
People who are sensitive to looseness like me are the ones who have to pick and choose. Also it is important to understand that if one chooses a poor brand/type, taking it will give no results. Assuming then that magnesium does not work...would then be a false assumption. This is the most common error in using magnesium supplements. And remember, you can get it from foods. (which is what I try to do)
