BulkSupplements doesn't say how much of the 300 mg comes from each form, where the magnesium is made or what the bag is made of.The magnesium is magnesium bisglycinate, which Momentous says is chelated to glycine, an amino acid. It doesn't name the supplier. The Supplement Facts image lists hypromellose, silica, magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose as the other ingredients. The label is marked vegan, gluten free and GMO free, and NSF's listing carries the same free-of claims. Momentous doesn't state what the bottle is made of.
