How does AIScored compare magnesium?

1. Aggregate Reviews

We collect currently available review and product data from public sources to build a complete comparison baseline.

2. Analysis

We read every review, check ingredient labels, fillers, and certifications, then generate an unbiased summary.

3. Score & Rank

Products are scored 0-100 across evidence-based categories, making it easy to compare at a glance.

Which magnesium buying guides are available?

Long-tail guides for specific goals in magnesium.

What should you look for when buying magnesium?

Choosing the right magnesium can be overwhelming with hundreds of options on the UK market. Here are the key factors we analyse when scoring each product:

Bioavailability & Forms

Not all ingredient forms are equally effective. We check which forms are used and whether they're backed by research for optimal absorption and bioavailability.

Clean Label & Fillers

Many products contain unnecessary fillers, artificial colours, added sugars, and bulking agents. We flag products with excessive additives and reward clean formulations.

Third-Party Testing

Independent lab testing verifies that what's on the label is actually in the product. Products with third-party certifications (NSF, USP, Informed Sport) score higher in our rankings.

Value per Serving

The cheapest option isn't always the best value. We calculate the cost per serving and weigh it against ingredient quality, dosage, and overall effectiveness reported by users.

How Our Scoring Works

Each product is scored 0-100 across evidence-based categories. An overall score of 80+ indicates a product we'd recommend to most people. Scores of 60-79 are solid choices with some trade-offs, while anything below 60 has significant drawbacks reported by users. Our scores are recalculated regularly as new reviews and ingredient data come in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you get your reviews?

We aggregate publicly available review and product data from retailer pages, communities, and specialist sources. We do not use manufacturer-provided testimonials as evidence.

How often are scores updated?

We re-analyse reviews and update scores regularly. Product pages show the date of the latest analysis.

Do you receive products for free?

No. AIScored does not accept free products or sponsored placements. Our revenue comes from affiliate links, which do not influence our scores.

What is the best magnesium in 2026?

Based on our analysis of 19 products, the top rated magnesium is Doctor's Best High Absorption Magnesium 100mg with a score of 82.0/100.

How many magnesium products have you reviewed?

We have analysed 19 magnesium products, scoring each on effectiveness, ingredient quality, value for money, side effects, and certifications.
