Mislabeled Magnesium

May 03, 2024
Favorited Not Favorited

In response to a lawsuit, a popular brand of supplements is now providing refunds to people who purchased one of its magnesium products. The suit alleged that the products were mislabeled regarding the form of magnesium they contained. See the Update in our Magnesium Supplements Review, which includes our Top Pick for magnesium.

Similarly, one of the magnesium products covered in our recent Review also seems to have its form of magnesium mislabeled despite providing the correct amount of magnesium. We have changed its status to Not Approved (see the Update).

In addition, a company that sells a magnesium supplement that was Not Approved by us responded to a question about this from a ConsumerLab member. The response suggests that the company does not understand that its product is mislabeled (see the Update).
