Magnesium · 9 products

What magnesium really costs, and how much of its testing you can see.

Every price is converted to cost per 100 mg of elemental magnesium, the amount on the Supplement Facts panel, not the weight of the whole compound (500 mg of magnesium glycinate holds far less than 500 mg of magnesium). Each product shows its form. Testing transparency gets its own grade, A to C, and is never blended into the price.

What the tiers mean

A
A current third-party certification and a COA from an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab, testing the finished product, less than 2 years old.
B
Some proof of testing (a COA or a certification), but not everything Tier A needs.
C
No COA and no certification found.

Prices are read from each store's own page and marked stale after 14 days. A certification counts only if it appears on the certifier's own website. Star ratings are each store's own customer reviews, shown for reference; they never affect the order of the table.
