The Vitamin Shoppe Unflavored Chelated Magnesium Glycinate…

Checked against public sources on August 12, 2026 · LookCloser does not sell or recommend supplements.

Does the marketing hold up?

FDA recall appears in this brand's history. An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.

Is the dose real?Panel read — dose not verified1 ingredient listed; no advertised amount we could confirm against them
What a serving costs$0.33per serving, at the checked price
Is it tested?Claimed — no lab or certificate found
Who’s behind it?🇺🇸Vitamin Shoppe Industries, Inc.corporation; limited liability company · NEW YORK, USA; DELAWARE, USA
Is it the real thing?Barcode matches outside records
Trouble on record?Brand history — not this product

“Couldn’t verify” means we looked and found no public proof — not a mark against the product. Most supplement claims cannot be independently verified by anyone, so grey is the normal state of this industry.

Marketing claims, checked

The checks, one by one

The public sources did not settle the marketing promises on this label.

Partly confirmed1

“your doses through the day for stress”

Published research exists for ingredients in this formula. Whether this product’s doses match those studies could not be confirmed.

Evidence →

Ingredient research can support context, but it is not a trial of this exact product.

?Couldn’t verify independently1

“tested, trusted member of The Vitamin Shoppe family of brands, all products are rigorously tested for purity and potency—so you can be confident…”

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 →

We looked and found no public proof. That does not count against the product.

FDA recall appears in this brand's history

An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.

Evidence and sources

This recall is not about the product on this page. Vitamin Shoppe recalled a different product on June 29, 2020. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “The Vitamin Shoppe Calcium Citrate Plus Magnesium & Vitamin D.…”

CheckedIs the label honest?

Every ingredient shows its amount · 1 ingredients listed.

Every ingredient shows its real amount — nothing is hidden in a proprietary blend.

Evidence and sources

The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.

CheckedWho is behind it?

The barcode identity checks out · 766536049837.

The barcode matches, so we are checking the right product rather than a look-alike.

Evidence and sources

Open Food Facts resolves 766536049837 to "Magnesium Glycinate Powder" (The Vitamin Shoppe) — consistent with this listing.

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 250 mg of magnesium per serving. Studies we found used 200 mg–420 mg a day, so this sits inside 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.
