The Magnesium 400 mg capsules from R(h)ein Nutrition are approx. 19 mm long and 6 mm wide, which makes them easy to swallow.
They can be taken with water without discomfort.
The fact that the recommended intake is two tablets per day can be a nuisance, especially for people who already have to take other tablets.
With 200 mg of magnesium per capsule, these capsules offer a good dosage.
The use of magnesium oxide, which is better stored in the body than other forms of magnesium, such as magnesium citrate, is the right choice to provide the body with sufficient magnesium throughout the day, given the recommended intake. The coating agent of the capsules is harmless to health.
The pack contains 120 capsules, which are sufficient for 2 months at the recommended daily dose. Unfortunately, capsules with a different dosage or in a different pack size are not available, which may be a disadvantage for some users.
The manufacturer’s storage recommendations are appropriate and aim to maintain the quality of the product over time. It is recommended to keep the capsules out of the reach of children in a cool, dry and dark place.
With a shelf life of more than two years, the capsules ensure that their effectiveness is maintained over a longer period of time.
Overall, we can confirm that the Magnesium 400 mg capsules from R(h)ein Nutrition offer a balanced dosage of magnesium and are suitable for long-term use. The range could be even more varied in order to better adapt the intake to the needs of consumers. However, it should be noted that it is always recommended to consult a doctor before taking such supplements.
The practical test does not provide any information on the effectiveness of the capsules, as it was not possible to test them during the intended test period.
