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.

Customers appreciate the high quality of the product. They praise the fact that it is free from unnecessary additives and is manufactured in Germany.
The capsules are easy to swallow and are well tolerated.
The price is also considered reasonable by most customers.
Negative reviews mainly relate to the use of magnesium oxide as the main source of magnesium in this product. Some customers argue that magnesium oxide is less well absorbed by the body and tends to have laxative properties.
In our field test, we found R(h)ein Nutrition ‘s Magnesium 400 mg capsules to be a good choice overall, especially for those who have an increased magnesium requirement.
Confusion over the concentration of 200g per capsule was mainly found in the reviews, which confused the daily dose of two capsules (200g each) with the dose in one capsule.
It should also be noted that individual preferences and expectations may vary, which is why it is advisable to consult a doctor before taking such supplements.

Prices of up to around €30 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from around €8 . The Magnesium 400 mg Extra capsules from R(h)ein Nutrition are therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €14.91.
