Magnesium Taurate

MODERATE EVIDENCEMineralLast updated

SCAN DOSE SUMMARY

Magnesium taurate combines magnesium with taurine — both of which independently support cardiovascular function. Taurine modulates calcium channels in cardiac tissue, while magnesium stabilizes heart rhythm. The combination is specifically marketed for cardiovascular support and blood pressure management. Limited clinical data for this specific form, but the theoretical rationale is strong given the independent CV benefits of both minerals. --- *Reviewed by the Dose AI Research Team and Clinical Advisory Board* *Last updated: 2026-04-06*

Quality Testing Intelligence

Based on independent third-party laboratory analysis

Category pass rate: ~80% of magnesium products passed independent laboratory testing. However, form accuracy is a MAJOR issue — some brands label one form but contain a different (cheaper) form.

Common failures:
Hidden form substitution: BulkSupplements labeled "glycinate" but contained hidden magnesium oxide
Label accuracy: Most products within 10% of claim
Dose exceeding UL: Products with >350mg elemental Mg exceed supplemental UL
Form comparison:
Form: Absorption: GI Side Effects: Price Range: Common Issues
Glycinate/Bisglycinate: HIGH (2-4x oxide): LOW: $0.10-0.30/serving: Hidden oxide substitution (BulkSupplements)
Oxide: LOW (4-5% absorbed): HIGH (loose stool): $0.03-0.08/serving: Honestly labeled but poorly absorbed
Citrate: MODERATE: MODERATE: $0.08-0.15/serving: Generally reliable
Threonate (Magtein): CLAIMS brain-specific: LOW: $0.40-1.00/serving: Limited clinical evidence, expensive
Taurate: MODERATE: LOW: $0.15-0.30/serving: Limited testing data

Contamination risk: Low risk category. Heavy metals rarely an issue in mineral supplements at tested doses.
