What it is
Combines magnesium with orotic acid, which plays a role in cellular energy and heart muscle function. A few older European studies suggest benefit for heart failure. The most expensive magnesium form with the least general-use evidence. Rarely justified over glycinate, citrate, or malate forms for most people.
