Is Advanced Magnesium+ Kosher?

The Ingredient Breakdown

When determining if a supplement is kosher, we look beyond the active ingredient and scrutinize the inactive ingredients—the fillers, binders, and lubricants. For Advanced Magnesium+, the primary active components are Magnesium Citrate, Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate, and Magnesium Bisglycinate. These are mineral forms bound to organic molecules; they are inherently plant-sourced or synthetic and pose no kosher concerns.

The critical analysis lies in the excipients. We see Microcrystalline Cellulose and Stearic Acid. These are standard plant-derived fillers. However, stearic acid can sometimes be derived from animal tallow. In this context, without a specific animal source listed, it is assumed to be vegetable-derived, which is the industry standard for kosher products. Similarly, Vegetable Magnesium Stearate is explicitly labeled as vegetable, removing any doubt about animal origins.

Finally, we look at the capsule and coating. The ingredients list Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) and Carnauba Wax. HPMC is a plant-based cellulose derivative, making it a preferred vegan and kosher alternative to gelatin capsules. Carnauba wax comes from the leaves of a Brazilian palm tree. None of the listed ingredients present a red flag for kosher compliance.

Nutritional Value

Advanced Magnesium+ is formulated for supplementation, not caloric intake. The capsule system, utilizing Microcrystalline Cellulose and Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, contributes negligible calories, carbohydrates, and fats. You are essentially consuming a mineral payload.

Regarding sugar content, this product contains no added sugars, sweeteners, or sugary coatings like sucrose. The trace amounts of Glycerin used in the coating are minimal and do not impact blood sugar levels. This makes it an excellent choice for those on low-carb, keto, or diabetic diets who require magnesium support without the caloric load of gummies or powders.
