Did You Know?

Some medicines, including some anticancer drugs, may deplete magnesium levels1

Why Magnesium Chloride?
Slow-Mag® Tablets have magnesium chloride, as opposed to magnesium oxide, for higher bioavailability.
	Most magnesium products contain magnesium oxide, a formulation which, though inexpensive and readily available, has been shown to be poorly absorbed by the body.2 A study conducted at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Northport, New York showed that magnesium oxide achieves only 4% fractional absorption.2 Slow-Mag® Tablets, on the other hand, use magnesium chloride for higher bioavailability.
