UNBUFFERED. UNCOMPLICATED.
Most "premium" magnesium bisglycinate is quietly buffered with cheap magnesium oxide — the cheap form you're trying to avoid. Ours isn't. 100% TRAACS-certified bisglycinate, 121 mg of elemental magnesium across an honest two-capsule serving. The dose you read is the dose you get.
A capsule can only hold so much.
This is the math that gives a buffered magnesium away — three numbers, no chemistry degree required.
14.1%
of bisglycinate is elemental magnesium
Real magnesium bisglycinate is only ~14% elemental by weight — the rest is glycine. So an honest dose needs a lot of chelate.
735 mg
fits in a size-00 capsule
A size-00 veggie capsule — the largest most brands use — holds roughly 735 mg of powder, before fillers.
= oxide
when the math doesn’t add up
If a single small capsule claims a big elemental number "from bisglycinate," the chelate alone can’t fit — the gap gets filled with cheap magnesium oxide.
YOUR MAGNESIUM MIGHT HAVE A SECRET.
Paste the label of your current magnesium. We’ll flag whether the math works — or whether it’s hiding oxide. The logic is open below the verdict; audit it yourself.

What "unbuffered" actually means
Unbuffered
No magnesium oxide. The elemental magnesium on our label comes entirely from chelated bisglycinate.
TRAACS®-certified
Albion’s TRAACS bisglycinate — the chelated mineral with documented absorption data.

Full disclosure
Everything in the bottle is on the label — cellulose, hypromellose, magnesium stearate. Nothing hidden.
Not a fit if:
- •You want one giant capsule. Our honest dose is two smaller vegan caps, once a day.
- •You only need 50–100 mg of elemental magnesium a day. Plenty of lower-dose options are fine.
- •You shop purely on lowest price per bottle. Buffered products are cheaper — we’d rather be honest about why.
THE DOSE YOU READ IS THE DOSE YOU GET
121 mg of elemental magnesium across two unbuffered, TRAACS-certified capsules. No oxide. Lab-verified every batch. NPN 80148126.
