OLLY Relaxing Magnesium
A magnesium gummy with a comparatively strong 200 mg serving and a real NSF certification signal, though it still relies on magnesium citrate, 4 gummies per serving, and added sugar.

Our View
A stronger magnesium gummy than it first appeared, with a real NSF certification signal and a better-than-light 200 mg serving, though the citrate form and four-gummy format still keep it below better capsule options.

A Closer Look
A full 4-gummy serving provides 200 mg magnesium as magnesium citrate. OLLY Relaxing Magnesium also appears on NSF's dietary supplement certification listing, which materially improves the trust case, even though the product still uses a gummy delivery system with added sugar and a relatively high serving count.
This is stronger than many magnesium gummies.
The biggest reason is the labeled dose. A full serving provides 200 mg of magnesium, which is meaningfully better than the lighter gummy products that ask for multiple pieces while delivering only a modest amount of mineral. If someone insists on a gummy, that helps the product.
The substance framing is less compelling. OLLY uses magnesium citrate and explicitly markets it as better absorbed than glycinate. That is too confident a claim. Citrate is a legitimate magnesium source, but it does not automatically solve the same use case as a gentler glycinate product, so the product should not be treated like a stronger capsule-based magnesium by default.
The trust profile is materially better than I originally gave it credit for. OLLY Relaxing Magnesium appears on NSF's dietary supplement certification listing, and that matters. It is a real public certification signal tied to this product rather than a vague brand-level testing claim. For a mainstream gummy, that raises the trust case meaningfully.
The formulation still sits in the middle. The dose is decent for a gummy, but it takes 4 gummies to get there and brings 4 g added sugar per serving. That is a better trade than some low-dose gummies, but it is still a format compromise rather than a clean mineral delivery system.
This is a more credible gummy magnesium than it first looked. The NSF certification and 200 mg serving give it a better overall case than most convenience-first gummies. It is still less coherent than a well-built magnesium capsule, especially if glycinate is the preferred use case.
