Episode Description
51 magnesium companies contacted. 45 never responded. And only 5 could actually prove what's inside their product.
Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in your body. Most Americans are severely depleted. And yet the brands with the biggest marketing budgets, the ones on every health food store shelf, couldn't show a single document proving their product is pure, absorbed, or safe to take every day. Dr. G ran the full investigation so you know exactly where your money should and shouldn't be going.
In this episode, you'll find out:
• Why the form of magnesium matters more than the brand — and why the most common form on the market has roughly 4% bioavailability, making it essentially useless for sleep, anxiety, or muscle recovery
• Which 5 magnesium brands passed the full investigation including heavy metal testing, third party batch verification, and contamination screening
• The full list of brands that went silent — including names recommended by practitioners and sold in every major health store — and why silence is its own answer
You take this every day. Make sure what you're taking actually works.
