The choice for a softgel ensures that the ingredients are packaged in an oil base, making the capsule easy to swallow and having no taste or odor. The manufacturer recommends taking the softgels with a meal, as this is more comfortable for many people and makes swallowing easier.

No single magnesium compound is entirely 'better' or 'worse' by itself—they all have different characteristics. Organic forms like citrate, glycinate, and malate usually dissolve more easily in water, while the inorganic form oxide provides more elemental magnesium per unit weight. Together, they offer a balance between solubility and dosage, so the user benefits from a broader composition.

Citrate is bound to citric acid and is known as a well-soluble form. Glycinate is bound to the amino acid glycine and is often chosen for its gentle properties. Malate is associated with malic acid and also occurs naturally in fruit. Oxide is a compact mineral form, which allows for a high amount of elemental magnesium. By combining these forms, the supplement provides both soluble and compact variants, resulting in a versatile formula.

Each form has its own characteristics: some dissolve better in water, others are more compact, allowing for more magnesium per capsule. By combining different forms, this product provides both variation in composition and a practical dosage of 400 mg elemental magnesium per day.
