Why Mag-Ox?

A small tablet - easy to swallow
Mag-Ox tablets are 35% smaller than magnesium chloride tablets (SLOW-MAG**), making it easier to swallow. Additionally, Mag-Ox can be crushed and mixed with liquid or food.

Sugar, gluten, carb, and sodium free
Mag-Ox provides a concentrated amount of magnesium, without unwanted additives. This may be beneficial for those on restricted diets.

Most concentrated form of magnesium


Mag-Ox contains the most concentrated form of magnesium available, so that each tablet provides more magnesium than any other leading brand. This leads to fewer and smaller tablets. For example, Mag-Ox has four times the amount of magnesium vs. magnesium chloride (SLOW-MAG**) yet the Mag-Ox tablet is 35% smaller.


Formulated for optimal absorption
Only Mag-Ox , by HCP Pharmaceuticals, provides the "Dissolution Difference." Dissolution is the amount of the tablet that dissolves in hydrochloric acid, used to simulate acid found in the stomach. Higher dissolution levels mean more magnesium is available for absorption by the body. 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 . This "Dissolution Difference" is another component of the Pharmaceutical Grade quality of Mag-Ox. Accept nothing less than the superior dissolution found in the Patent Pending formulation of Mag-Ox , by HCP Pharmaceuticals. There are no substitutes.

Pharmaceutical Grade quality
Mag-Ox is a Pharmaceutical Grade quality supplement. This means a production process is utilized that ensures purity and quality in every tablet. The Pharmaceutical Grade symbol signifies the use of premium raw materials, extensive laboratory testing, a current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) compliant facility, and quality-controlled packaging and shipping operations. Mag-Ox is continually screened by metal detection devices to ensure the final product is free of harmful contaminants. Although this control procedure is not required, it serves as an example of HCP Pharmaceuticals' commitment to its product quality and safety.
