Magnesium supplements usually have their beginning as minerals that have been
influenced by our environment. For that reason, the purity of magnesium raw
materials is important. Magnesium, like calcium, can have undesirable
impurities present. Kirkmans magnesium is Ultra Tested, which means it is
tested for more than 950 environmental contaminants, the highest standard of
purity testing in the world.
