Is this product the buffered magnesium glycinate chelate containing magnesium oxide, an inferior form of magnesium?

It says it is "Magnesium Glycinate Chelate Buffered" nothing about oxide. Hope this helps.

According to the Designs for Health website, under ingredients it lists "Magnesium (TRAACS® Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate Buffered - from Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate and Magnesium Oxide)"

Not sure... but it was recommended by my naturopathic doctor and seems effective.

I went to iHerb where they show the labels of supplements and indeed it does contain magnesium oxide.

Typically, what we are now finding, is that anytime a product is identified as "magnesium glycinate chelate buffered," it has been purchased by the seller (in this case, Designs for Health) from Albion Laboratories, Inc., that it is an adulterated product containing magnesium oxide, and that the seller has failed to disclose the magnesium oxide, in contravention of federal law. Whether the seller will claim it didn't know about the magnesium oxide, or that Albion directed the seller not to disclose magnesium oxide, remains to be seen. We need to hear from the seller, Designs for Health, to see what it has to say about this. The word "buffered" is industry parlance for "blended," or, as I choose to more appropriately characterize it, "adulterated."

My label says calcium gluconate. The Mg is carbonate. The product gave me a terrible headache.

The bottle does not state. It simply says serving size 1 capsule which contains 120 mg of magnesium glycinate per capsule with 10 mg ascorbyl palmitate (fat-soluble vitamin C) ~ other ingredients: vegetarian capsule (cellulose, water). This was recommended to me by a health care professional over ALL other magnesiums on that is available over the counter (he says those others will give a laxative effect). This was recommended to me for relaxation at bedtime and it works.

Never mind, I found it! It's carbonate. http://www.naturemade.com/Products/Minerals/Calcium-Magnesium-and-Zinc

It is magnesium oxide. I agree with you, all supplement ingredients should be displayed in the description.

The label states that the Calcium is as calcium carbonate and the Magnesium is as magnesium oxide. Both 500mg each. Hope this helps.

I do not know the answer. I no longer use Douglas Labs magnesium. I have found Kirkman Magnesium Glycinate -Hypoallergenic capsules to work better for me.

Yes, this product definitely contains Magnesium Stearate and Silicone Dioxide, which is the reason why I will not purchase it again.

The supplement facts portion of our label is provided by our supplier. No federal law is being violated, despite the unfounded accusations in your review. Magnesium Oxide is an essential part of the TRAACS patented Buffered Chelate to control pH. Therefore it does not need to appear as an additional ingredient; it is inherent in the patent. Magnesium Oxide is not added in to dilute the quality of the product, but rather is scientifically shown to enhance absorption and blood serum levels without causing stomach upset or inducing a laxative effect. These facts go beyond simple percentages. We understand that you have chosen not to purchase our product and have targeted us and similar products with inflammatory non-buyer reviews. Nevertheless, we are happy to continue to address each and every concern you may chose to post, however unfounded or contrived.

Magnesium Glycinate is actually 2 ingredients because the Magnesium is bound to the amino-acid Glysine
