Reviews
First I love that this
"First I love that this product comes in a glass container! The supplements are high quality and I can tell that my headaches are less frequent and I sleep better. I’m also pleased that the ingredients list appears to be high quality."
MegaFood vitamins are the best
"MegaFood vitamins are the best I've tried. Whole food ingredients with no synthetic fillers are important to me when choosing vitamins and supplements. It takes at least 60 - 90 days to feel the difference, but it's worth the wait. It's important to take Magnesium with any D3/K2 vitamins to ensure proper calcium metabolism. I would highly recommend this brand to anyone looking for affordable, good quality vitamins or supplements."
I’ve been taking the Magnesium
"I’ve been taking the Magnesium Glycinate for a few months and it has helped with sleeping more soundly. I love MegaFood products, which I have been using for more than 15 years because of how they are made and how I feel when taking them."
Read the ingredients!!
"I bought 2 bottles off this website for convenience when I came to purchase something else. I should have read the label, I had no idea there was 100 mg of spinach leaf in each dose. If you’re sensitive to oxalates, best to get your magnesium elsewhere!"

Q&A
- I buy the magnesium glycinate with spinach leaf. My latest bottle the pills are a lighter green color (the powder is lighter) than my previous bottle (was a darker green). Is this normal? What’s changed.
- Great question! Because we work with whole foods, there is often variations in color between harvests, and a variance in color is to be expected.
- Is this made in the USA?
- MegaFood sources our ingredients globally, and upholds all suppliers to the same code of conduct, which you can learn more about here. In certain situations one country may be the sole country where a certain ingredient is available, as is the case with the ingredient melatonin as of March 2023. As a certified B Corporation, we continually evaluate our partnerships and sourcing to ensure they align with our commitments and values to our people and our planet.
- Can this be taken along with Magnesium 300?
- Unfortunately, as a supplement company, we cannot make any specific recommendations. If you are uncertain whether a product is suitable for your needs, or you need advice on which combinations of products would be ok to use, please consult with your healthcare practitioner.
- Can the capsule be opened and put into a fruit juice or water?
- Thank you for reaching out to us, Yes, this can be mixed with juice, it should not impact the product's efficacy.
- Hi! If I need to take aprox 300 mg per day of this magnesium. Should I take 5 capsules per day? (60 mg each one). Thank you !
- Thank you for your question! We do not recommend exceeding the suggested use of this product (2 capsules daily, which delivers 60mg of elemental magnesium) without first consulting with your healthcare practitioner. For your consideration, we also offer Magnesium 300, a tri-blend that delivers 300mg of elemental magnesium per dose.
