Evidence →No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. No exact brand product page was available for a document check. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record. This is a public-evidence limit, not a finding that testing did not occur.

Evidence →“Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product.

Research behind the findings
Dose and research context
We could not match an amount on this product to a studied range for the same ingredient, so these links are ingredient background rather than a measurement of this product.
Background reading
What the research says about these amounts
Not a score. Studies disagree with each other and change over time, so this sits beside the evidence rather than counting toward it — it is here so you can read the sources yourself.
The panel lists 20 mg of magnesium per serving. Studies we found used 200 mg–420 mg a day, so this sits below that range.
0studied 200 mg–420 mg
Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
