Magnesium glycinate/lysinate chelate with excellent absorption. 200mg elemental magnesium per serving at a budget-friendly price. Albion Minerals chelate is a respected source.
Doctor's Best earns strong marks for using a patented, research-backed chelation process (Albion TRAACS) at a budget-friendly price. The glycinate/lysinate form is among the best-absorbed magnesium formats available. No hype penalty. The transparency score is slightly lower because Doctor's Best does not prominently publish third-party testing results. Functionally equivalent to NOW Glycinate but with a patented chelate source.
Doctor's Best uses Albion Minerals TRAACS magnesium glycinate/lysinate chelate, a patented chelation process that enhances bioavailability. The 200mg elemental magnesium per serving is well-absorbed with minimal GI side effects. Albion's chelation technology is supported by multiple absorption studies showing superior bioavailability compared to oxide and comparable to citrate. The glycinate/lysinate form also provides calming amino acid cofactors.
| Ingredient | Dose | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Magnesium (Albion TRAACS Glycinate/Lysinate Chelate) | 200mg elemental | Optimal |
200mg per serving may require doubling for those needing 400mg daily. Transparency on third-party testing is below premium brands. Tablet size can be large. The Albion chelate is genuine but not dramatically different from standard glycinate in practice.
