Lightbulb that supplement

Is actually providing less than 10mg of elemental magnesium. When you need
at least 350mg/day from YOUR diet.

Just about any food source will provide more for you. one cup of yogurt has
47mg in comparison.

Supplements with magnesium oxide in them are useless. The calcium looks okay.

I think you miscopied some of the list as milligrams, as they should show
as mcg micrograms. (the last 3).

I think it is interesting that elemental calcium is provided but not the mag.
Also the magnesium in the oxide form looks good on PAPER, but it is just
not absorbed by the body (this is from new studies-- I have that on my magnesium thread here on the Vitamin Forum). Throwing in that chelate is
odd too..but many do that now. It makes it look good, but most chelates are only 10% magnesium. Magnesium supplementation is confusing and most people think they are getting something when in reality they are not. That is why I put up the thread. So please take a look.
