The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview

['Nutricost sells this as a magnesium glycinate powder in a 250 gram (about 8.8 ounce) container, formulated without added flavoring. The powder format lets buyers control their own serving size rather than relying on a fixed capsule dose, and the gluten free labeling broadens who can use it.', 'Priced at $19.95, it sits in the middle of the market for a magnesium glycinate product of this size. Because it ships as loose powder rather than a flavored drink mix, it is best suited to buyers comfortable measuring out their own amount and mixing it into water or another beverage. As with any supplement, talk with a healthcare professional before starting a new one, especially if you take other medications.', 'Buyer feedback sits at a 4.3 rating from 1,400 reviews, with about 4,000 units reportedly bought in the past month. That is a solid but more modest review count than some of the bigger sellers in this category, which is worth keeping in mind when weighing this option.']
