Before buying, check these first
- Health Who should ask first
Ask a doctor first if you have kidney disease, very low blood pressure, take sedating medicines, or already take several minerals.
- Label What to verify
Check magnesium form, elemental magnesium amount, capsule type, medicine-spacing instructions, expiry date and seller reputation.
- Halal Check the exact product
Vegetable cellulose capsules are usually easier to assess, but still check the exact label and additives.

Who it may suit
