ConsumerLab.com Reviews Magnesium Supplements

ConsumerLab.com, White Plains, NY, recently released the results of its product review of magnesium supplements. Seventeen of the 19 products tested by ConsumerLab.com passed the review. Among the products that failed, one contained nearly 50% more magnesium than claimed. Both it and one other product also contained amounts of lead in excess of the State of California’s Prop 65 limits. The product found on testing to have excess magnesium would have delivered nearly 1,200 mg of magnesium per day—more than three times the Upper Tolerable Intake Level (UL)—a level above which risk of adverse health effects increase.
