Why is Magnesium Listed Twice on the Whole Food Multivitamin?

The Whole Food Multivitamin lists magnesium twice on the Supplement Facts panel because the two entries represent different sources of magnesium — one naturally occurring from whole food ingredients, and the other added as part of a specialized mineral complex.

1. Magnesium (50 mg) — Naturally Occurring from Whole Foods

The first listing for magnesium appears directly after Pantothenic Acid and reflects the magnesium that is naturally present in the fruit and vegetable blend within the formula.

This magnesium is derived from whole food ingredients such as spinach, broccoli, carrot, beet, tomato, mushroom, apple, and others. Because it comes from food-based sources rather than a specific compound, its exact form (oxide, citrate, malate, etc.) has not been tested or identified.

This portion represents the magnesium your body would naturally obtain when consuming those fruits and vegetables.

2. Magnesium Krebs Cycle Powder (250 mg) — Added Magnesium

The second listing, “Magnesium Krebs Cycle Powder (250 mg),” refers to the added magnesium complex included in the formula. This ingredient is a blend of magnesium citrate and magnesium malate, both of which are well-absorbed, bioavailable forms known to support:

• Energy production (via the Krebs cycle)

• Cardiovascular health

• Muscle and cellular function

This addition ensures the supplement provides a consistent amount of specific magnesium forms to support the Krebs cycle and complement the naturally occurring magnesium in the food blend.
