Bought both of these off of amazing and the left one is the newest one I received. The print on the front is wrong I. Addition to the bottle and pill being much larger than the previous bottle. Is this a fake?

Magnesium is notorious for not running well on encapsulation machines. Something about the way it compresses. We had to size up the capsules on the most recent run, which meant we had to size up on the bottle as well. When my graphics department did that, instead of creating a new label from scratch, they used the Microzinc label that was already at that size as the starting place. In doing so, they forgot to edit the text on the front. QA/QC didn't catch it because they were only checking the main product name and the Supplement Facts box. We have since changed our QA/QC process to look at ALL text on the label for sign-off. We pulled back all the units from Amazon once we learned of it, but Amazon isn't always perfect. Sometimes there are stragglers that get held back at one of the Amazon warehouses that then get shipped later. There's nothing from with the product itself, though. So nothing to worry about there. Micromag will likely stay in the larger capsule and bottle size going forward.
