Is there a benefit to having magnesium released slowly over a period of time, rather than a peak and decline within hours?

Previous studies have documented that magnesium is absorbed with some uniformity throughout the entire small intestine with a very small amount absorbed in the large intestine. Thus, there is not an obvious advantage to having the magnesium slowly released in the gastrointestinal tract.

Mag-Ox is formulated for superior absorption, which provides the "Dissolution Difference." Most generics have dissolution levels under 50% per tablet^†, which means that less than half of the generic magnesium tablet dissolves in the stomach. Mag-Ox has been formulated to provide superior absorption by achieving a 99% dissolution level^†. Accept nothing less than the superior dissolution found in the Patent Pending formulation of Mag-Ox , by Health Care Products. There are no substitutes.
