Six-dimension breakdown
Evidence & sources
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are in How we scored this, above. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.
How to read the Evidence dimension
- 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
- 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
- 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
- 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
- 0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.
Frequently asked questions

What is Pure Encapsulations Magnesium (Glycinate)?
Pure Encapsulations Magnesium (Glycinate) is a product from Pure Encapsulations, categorized under Vitamins & foundational micronutrients in the Supplements vertical. It is scored on the Vyvata Scoring Framework — an independent 6-dimension rubric applied uniformly to every product Vyvata lists.
How does Pure Encapsulations Magnesium (Glycinate) score on the Vyvata rubric?
80/100 overall — Verified tier (70–84 band). Per-dimension breakdown: Formulation 85, Safety 85, Transparency 85, Manufacturing 80, Evidence 75, Sustainability 60. Scored as of 2026-08-24.
Why did Pure Encapsulations Magnesium (Glycinate) score in the Verified tier?
Magnesium bisglycinate chelate at 120 mg elemental per cap — one of the best-tolerated and better-absorbed forms per crossover data (Walker et al. 2003; Schuchardt & Hahn 2017). Hypoallergenic Pure Encapsulations manufacturing with CoAs. Would need 2-3 caps to hit RCT doses, but the form and label quality earn a strong Verified.
What are the strongest and weakest aspects of this product?
Strongest: Formulation at 85/100 (dose adequacy, bioavailability form, and ingredient redundancy) and Safety at 85/100 (adverse-event profile, interaction risk, and dose ceiling). Weakest: Evidence at 75/100 (quality of published RCT support for the active ingredients at the label dose) and Sustainability at 60/100 (sourcing practices, packaging, and corporate practice). All six dimensions feed the overall Vyvata score; a weakness on any one dimension pulls the overall down proportionally.
Is Pure Encapsulations Magnesium (Glycinate) third-party tested?
