Doctor's Best, High Absorption Magnesium Lysinate Glycinate, 100 mg, 240 Tablets
Two tablets supply 200 mg of elemental magnesium from 2,000 mg of Albion magnesium lysinate glycinate chelate, and the bottle contains 120 servings. The panel distinguishes elemental and compound weight clearly; the full suggested daily use is two tablets twice daily rather than one serving.

Our Verdict
It combines a transparent chelated form, excellent active-ingredient value and unusually strong buyer-volume evidence. It ranks below the NOW powder because its 200 mg serving is farther from the 250 mg trial dose and it uses substantially more excipients.
