Common questions

Is Organics Ocean Pure Magnesium Glycinate with Low-Dose Zinc healthy?

Organics Ocean Pure Magnesium Glycinate with Low-Dose Zinc scores 29/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in, plus lab results from its product family, Organics Ocean Magnesium Glycinate with Zinc. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

How processed is Organics Ocean Pure Magnesium Glycinate with Low-Dose Zinc?
