User questions & answers

Question:	Does Naturelo in this product use synthetic vitamins fed to yeast plus a broth to reach levels of different vitamins and minerals
Answer:	Here are the main differences between our Whole Food and One Daily multivitamins:1. The Whole Food multi has 27 additional nutrients, for example it includes antioxidants that are beneficial for your brain, heart and eye health2. The Whole Food multi has higher amounts of each vitamin and mineral 3. The Whole Food multi is appropriate for vegans and vegetariansIf you have a limited budget or you prefer to take only one capsule per day, the One Daily Multivitamin is the way to go.If you can afford the Whole Food Multivitamin, I would recommend going with that because you get more value for your money and you will see faster results.
Question:	What is the shelf life for the bottle if it is unopened
Answer:	B12 that is available to the body for use is when the nutrient is in its co-factor forms like cyanocobalamin, hydroxycobalamin and methylcobalamin. B12 for a supplement is synthesized in more than one way, but methylcobalamin generally comes from a natural bacteria source using a fermentation process. Hydroxycobalamin and cyanocobalamin are both made in a lab — cyano- being the cheapest form and hyroxy- actually being the most expensive. Therefore, Methylcobalamin is the preferred natural source.
Question:	What is the difference between this and the whole food product
Answer:	Yes, there is soy in this multivitamin. The vitamin K2 is sourced from natto, which is a fermented soybean product that has a very acquired taste to say the least.
Question:	You say that the b12 is "natural" isn't the b12 vitamin methylcobalamin made from the synthetic cyanocobalamin
Answer:	We totally understand your concern. We feel very strongly about using the highest quality, most earth-friendly ingredients for our products, that's why we only use an extremely minute amount of sustainably harvested Organic Palm Oil as part of the coating for our mykind tablets. Our mykind tablets are made using Clean Tablet Technology, our new Patent-Pending tableting process that uses 100% Organic tablet materials, is 100% Non-GMO, and does not contain commonly used Soy or Corn derived ingredients, or the usual list of chemicals like magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide. Not only is the Organic Palm Oil sourced ethically, our Palm Oil Supplier is also proud to be the first major ingredient supplier in the United States to offer 100% certified sustainable Identity Preserved (IP) Organic Palm Oil certification by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO).

User questions & answers

Question:	Do the non-descript vegetable ingredients contain soy? maybe i missed it
Answer:	Yes: "Magnesium 500mg 125% (as Magnesium Oxide)"
Question:	Can these be cut in half
Answer:	MgO, Magnesium Oxide is only 4% bio-available in the human body because it's a LAXATIVE! If your deficiency includes severe constipation, then MgO is good for that. I don't know what their enteric additive is, or if it increases MgO's solubility in water, but IN GENERAL, MgO is virtually insoluble in water, which is why it is so poorly absorbed in the gut and causes diarrhea. The best absorbed form at 16% is Magnesium Glycinate (many names - google alternate names - it's 2 atoms of glycine for 1 atom of ELEMENTAL Mg. Your body also needs LOTS of Glycine, as well as Mg. With MgO, many manufacturers list the COMPOUND WEIGHT as though it were the ELEMENTAL weight, which is cheating on a massive scale and contributes to the 70% of Americans that are VERY deficient in Mg Elemental. The Daily Value (%DV on labels) is calculated for the ELEMENTAL WEIGHT of minerals, NOT COMPOUND WEIGHT. So manufacturers that list the compound as fulfilling DV% are greedy bastards getting very wealthy especially with MgO as it is the cheapest form of Mg on earth. If your Dr thinks MgO is a decent source of Mg, he's a FOOL! To get the DV 100% of MgO, you would need to take 10,500 mg/10 1/2 Grams of MgO per day at 420mg Elemental requirement for DV 100% as measured per compound weight! In contrast, Magnesium Glycinate requires only 2,625 mg/2.625 Grams per day to satisfy the same 420mg Adult Male requirement for 100% DV!
Question:	Is the main ingredient magnesium oxide? I can't see the entire label on the picture. Thanks
Answer:	This item is a tablet
Question:	What kind of magnesium do these tablets have and if you have Triple containing oxide, Citrate and asparatate
Answer:	I don't see that information on the bottle. Sorry! All I know is it works good for me in many ways. It generally makes me feel better. I have many health conditions that are chronic.

User questions & answers

Question:	We want tablets, not softgels, and no gelatin? please fix this ad, amazon
Answer:	Yes, it can. I can only share the following information. We take magnesium citrate and adjust dosage as needed. Magnesium glycinate is a chelated form of magnesium that tends to provide the highest levels of absorption and bioavailability and is typically considered ideal for those who are trying to correct a deficiency Magnesium oxide is a non-chelated type of magnesium, bound to an organic acid or a fatty acid. Contains 60 percent magnesium and has stool softening properties Magnesium chloride / Magnesium lactate contain only 12 percent magnesium, but has better absorption than others, such as magnesium oxide, which contains five times more magnesium Magnesium sulfate / Magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia) are typically used as a laxative. Be aware that it’s easy to overdose on these, so ONLY take as directed Magnesium carbonate, which has antacid properties, contains 45 percent magnesium Magnesium taurate contains a combination of magnesium and taurine, an amino acid. Together, they tend to provide a calming effect on your body and mind Magnesium citrate is magnesium with citric acid, which has laxative properties Magnesium threonate is a newer, emerging type of magnesium supplement that appears promising, primarily due to its superior ability to penetrate the mitochondrial membrane
Question:	Is this K1 or K
Answer:	The tablet is round & probably one of the smallest you'll find "in comparison" to other Magnesiun tablets which are usually extremely large. I've been taking these for 3 months now because they're cheaper but am not very happy with the results, I will be returning to NSP's magnesium which is gel capsule, easy to swallow and noticeable results. (NSP-(Natures Sunshine Products), they have an extensive product line that is phenomenal)
Question:	I bought magnesium capsules at Costco made by Nature Made which caused diarrhea...does this product cause that too
Answer:	How about using a coffee grinder? Of even in a blender. Of course you need see how much powder is in each serving, so crush one serving size, measure that, then do the bottle so you scoop a serving size out next time. Hope this makes sense.
Question:	Why can't you post a picture of the tablet itself, so one can see the size and shape
Answer:	If you have problems swallowing large pills take a bite of food first to trick your throat into thinking you are eating and swallow it. Do not use something cold to wash it down I suggest using something that's luke warm. I can swallow 2 pills at once doing it this way.

User questions & answers

Question:	Saw the comments about harsh odor. june 20 i receive a bottle with very strong ammonia or bleach smell!!!! i ask for refund. where should i order
Answer:	Both! Ionic drug compounds can have their doses expressed in two ways depending on whether you're counting the full mass of the drug compound (Magnesium+Oxide) or just the pure elemental Magnesium present. So each capsule contains 400mg of "Magnesium Oxide", of which ~241mg is pure elemental magnesium.
Question:	This is the second bottle I have purchases. Both bottle have foul odor. Is this normal
Answer:	Nature Made High Potency 400mg magnesium contains oxide and they also make a citrate gel tablet
Question:	The name says 400mg, but the description says 250mg. Which is it
Answer:	From the Pure Encapsulations website:Magnesium (glycinate)Supplemental FactsAmount Per Servingeach vegetable capsule contains:magnesium (as magnesium glycinate)120 mg.ascorbyl palmitate (fat-soluble vitamin C)10 mg.other ingredients: vegetarian capsule (cellulose, water)1-4 capsules per day, in divided doses, with meals.http://www.pureencapsulations.com/magnesium-glycinate.html
Question:	is this citrate or oxide
Answer:	You can do either according to my naturopath. But if you have a tendency to have upset stomach, you can take the magnesium with a meal. I find the magnesium doesn't create such problems since it is in highly absorbable glysinate form. It helps to calm you too so you get the best effects right before bed
