Magnesium gluconate
I am supplementing my son with magnesium as is suggested with B6. Ipicked up a bottle of mag gluconate at the grocery store (Mason Naturalbrand) that is free of all problem foods. The bottle says 550 mgMagnesium Gluconate. The back of the bottle says contains 30mg ofMagnesium (under the “Supplement Facts” area). My intention is to givemy son about 150 mg/day of this.
Why does it say 550mg on the front of the bottle? This is probably adumb question but I want to be sure that I am giving the correct dosage?Also, is the gluconate version of Magnesium a good version forabsorption, etc?
Any input would be appreciated!!

Sir or Ma’am: Sorry this is so late… Each tablet contains 550 mg of magnesium gluconate. But only 50 mg of the 550 mg is magnesium that is available for your son to use. So if you need to provide your son with 150 mg/day, then you need to give him three of the tablets each day. I suggest two in the morning and one in the evening. Hope this helps you ! Take Care !!
