For this supplement, the source of magnesium is magnesium lactate—a compound made from:
Magnesium (the mineral) Lactic acid (forms the “lactate” salt)
⚠️ Can you “remove the source”?
Short answer: No — you can’t separate it.
The magnesium is chemically bound to lactate. If you “remove” the lactate, you’re no longer taking magnesium lactate at all. It’s not like removing an additive or filler—it’s the active form itself. 🔄 What you can do instead
If your goal is to avoid something (e.g., lactate, sensitivity, or preference), you need to switch forms, not remove it.
Common alternatives: Glycinate → gentle, good for sleep/stress Citrate → more for constipation support Malate → energy/muscle support
Example:
Swanson Albion Magnesium Glycinate → often preferred if you want no lactate source 🧾 Key takeaway “Magnesium lactate” = the form itself, not an added ingredient You cannot remove the source without changing the supplement If you don’t want lactate, choose a different magnesium type
