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.

“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

“Benefits – Maintain calm and support vitality with Magnesium”

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

“Quality & Maximum Absorption – Always 3rd party tested for purity, potency and quality (including for heavy metals) in”

No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. The exact brand page names no testing issuer and links no product-bound report. 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. Mineralife LLC recalled a different product on October 15, 2018. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “Trace Minerals Dietary Supplement , 16.2 fl oz (480 mL) bottles, Packaged in dark blue plastic bottles, For…”

CheckedIs the label honest?

Every ingredient shows its amount · 2 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.

Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked finding
CheckedWho is behind it?

The barcode identity checks out · 878941008481.

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

Evidence and sources

The brand's store lists this exact barcode as “Magnesium Glycinate” (variant: Mixed Berry Lemonade) — identity confirmed across retailer listings.

Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked finding
CheckedCan you trust the review pattern?

Reviews rose from 87 to 125 between September 11, 2025 and July 25, 2026 — no sudden jump.

A count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.

Evidence and sources

Written reviews rose from 87 to 125 between September 11, 2025 and July 25, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 8, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.

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 120 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.
