PAYING FOR BISGLYCINATE OR OXIDE-BACKED MATH.
You chose bisglycinate because you wanted the gentle form. Some big-number labels use magnesium oxide to make the elemental claim look better. Freshfield keeps the receipt plain: 121 mg per serving from 100% unbuffered bisglycinate, no oxide, no mystery blend.
Flip the bottle. Read three lines.
Check the active ingredient line.
If the medicinal ingredients include magnesium oxide beside a bisglycinate claim, the front-label story is not the whole story.
Compare the number to the capsule.
Pure bisglycinate is only about 14.1% elemental magnesium by weight. A huge elemental number needs a huge amount of powder.
Decide what you actually wanted.
Oxide has uses. The problem is paying for a gentle bisglycinate promise when a lower-cost form is doing the label-number work.
A capsule can only hold so much plain math wins.
Freshfield does not chase the biggest-looking number. The smaller claim is the proof that the elemental magnesium is coming from the form on the front of the bottle.
14.1%
Bisglycinate is bulky by design
The glycine is what makes the form gentle, but it also means more powder is needed for each milligram of elemental magnesium.
60.5
mg per capsule
One capsule gives a lower-dose option. Two capsules deliver the full 121 mg serving without oxide padding.
0
oxide in the active line
No dense lower-cost oxide carrying the elemental number behind a bisglycinate story.
Proof, translated.
TRAACS means traceable source
Albion is the named bisglycinate source. You can verify it on the label instead of trusting a vague chelated blend claim.
NPN means licensed product
Health Canada reviewed the product and issued NPN 80148126. That is the license number printed where you can check it.
Unbuffered means no oxide math
The elemental magnesium comes from bisglycinate, not a denser oxide form used to make the number look bigger.
Not a fit if...
- •You want the cheapest magnesium bottle per serving. Buffered products can win that comparison; Freshfield is for people who want the active ingredient to match the promise.
- •You refuse a two-capsule serving. Honest unbuffered bisglycinate takes more capsule space, so the full serving is two smaller vegan capsules.
- •You mainly want occasional regularity support. Citrate is the more direct tool; bisglycinate is the gentler daily-driver.
- •You need a tablet, gummy, or powder. This launch is capsules only.
The dose you read is the dose you get.
121 mg elemental magnesium per two-capsule serving from 100% unbuffered Albion bisglycinate. No oxide buffer. No mystery blend.
