Pure Encapsulations Magnesium (Citrate/Malate) (180 Capsules)

SuppCheckr Score71/100

SuppCheckr score uses the magnesium scoring profile (Phase 4D-3). Key drivers: transparent mixed citrate/malate form with 120 mg elemental magnesium per capsule and one-capsule serving — offset by retailer-sourced Supplement Facts (official brand page not confirmed), no per-form elemental mg split, unknown testing, and higher price per 100 mg elemental than budget options. This product occupies the V1 threonate fallback slot; no magnesium L-threonate product review is included.

Pros

Supplement Facts on the cited listing show 120 mg magnesium (elemental) as magnesium citrate/malate per 1-capsule serving.
Transparent mixed-form label — both citrate and malate are named, with total elemental magnesium stated (no per-form mg split).
One-capsule serving size simplifies dose and price-per-serving comparisons within this five-product comparison set.

Cons

Label source is a retailer listing; official Pure Encapsulations product page for this SKU was not confirmed in Phase 4D-2.
Combined citrate/malate form does not disclose separate elemental amounts per salt on the label.
Higher observed price per 100 mg elemental magnesium than budget citrate or oxide options in this cluster.
Retailer marketing copy includes cardiometabolic and neurocognitive positioning — SuppCheckr does not repeat those as product benefits.

Label clarity notes

Locked UPC 766298004365 / SKU MCM1 — 180 capsules. Supplement Facts on the cited Vitacost listing match Target listing facts checked in Phase 4D-1 research (120 mg elemental per capsule). Per-form elemental magnesium is not split on the label. Label directions allow 1–4 capsules daily with food.

May fit if you want

May not fit if
