Summary

→ Shop all my verified, tested and preferred wellness products - includes most up to date brands: https://theswellscore.com/pages/drg 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.

0:00.0	Most of the magnesium products out there do not work. So I contacted 51 magnesium companies with one ask,
0:05.8	show me your lab testing, your certificate of analysis to prove what is inside your product.
0:11.4	45 companies never even responded. One company chose to opt out and five, only five magnesium brands
0:18.4	came with full transparency and documentation to show that what is inside the product is pure and actually works.
0:25.6	Five out of over 50, magnesium is one of the most purchased supplements in the world.
0:29.6	People take it for sleep, anxiety, muscle recovery, blood sugar balance, heart health, hormonal regulation.
0:35.6	It's involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, 300.
0:41.3	And yet, the brands you see everywhere, the ones with million dollars of marketing budgets,
0:46.3	the ones on the shelves of every health food store that you go to,
0:49.3	well, most of them couldn't prove what was inside of their product.
0:52.3	And here's what almost nobody asks when

0:59.8	label, not the marketing, not the Instagram ads. Where is a third party documentation that shows me
1:05.7	that this is worth my money? Because here's what mostly I don't even know about magnesium.
1:09.3	There are multiple forms
1:10.9	and the form determines everything. Like magnesium oxide, that's the most common form on the
1:16.7	market and it has roughly 4% bioavailability. It's not going to work for sleep or your muscles.
1:22.1	That means if you get the wrong form of magnesium, 96% of what you're swallowing goes through your whole body before you have
1:28.8	any chance to even use it.
1:30.3	My friends, that is not a supplement.
1:31.8	That's just expensive chalk.
1:33.5	And then there's a contamination question.
