A Settlement Agreement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging that eSupplements, LLC d/b/a Nutricost (“Nutricost”) sold its Nutricost Magnesium Glycinate supplements marketed as 420 mg of magnesium “as magnesium glycinate” when, according to the plaintiffs, they were not. The case is captioned Cohen et al. v. eSupplements, LLC d/b/a Nutricost and is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
To resolve the claims, Nutricost has agreed to create a non-reversionary Settlement Fund of $1,835,000. That fund pays valid claims along with attorneys' fees, costs, settlement administration costs, and any court-approved incentive awards. Nutricost denies any wrongdoing and denies that it violated any state or federal law; the Court has not ruled on the merits of the claims or Nutricost's defenses. Both sides agreed to settle to avoid the cost, risk, and delay of continued litigation.
The settlement has received preliminary approval, and the claims period is now open. If you bought the supplements during the class period, you can file a claim — and you do not need a receipt or any administrator-issued code to receive a base payment.
The Court has preliminarily certified a Settlement Class consisting of all persons who, while residing in the United States, purchased Nutricost Magnesium Glycinate supplements in the 240-capsule or 120-capsule variant during the Class Period.
The Class Period runs from February 1, 2021 through June 8, 2026. The “Supplements” are the dietary supplements offered for sale by Nutricost as “Magnesium Glycinate” with “420 MG per serving” in the 240-capsule and 120-capsule variants. There is no requirement to have bought the product from any particular retailer.
The settlement pays in “Award Units.” Each Award Unit has an equal monetary value not to exceed $19.95. How many units you can claim depends on whether you have a Claim ID and PIN:
- With a valid Claim ID and PIN (printed on a mailed or emailed notice): you are entitled to one Award Unit for each Supplement you purchased, as reflected in the sales records in the parties' possession.
- Without a Claim ID and PIN: you are entitled to one Award Unit.
The exact value of an Award Unit is determined by dividing the Net Settlement Fund (the total fund minus settlement administration costs, the fee award, and incentive awards) by the total number of Supplements identified by valid claims. Because the fund is fixed, individual payment amounts depend on how many valid and timely claims are filed by all class members, so the final per-unit figure may be at or below the $19.95 cap.
The only way to receive a share of the Settlement Fund is to submit a claim. You can file online through the official settlement website, or download a paper claim form and mail it to the settlement administrator, JND Legal Administration. If you received a notice with a Claim ID and PIN, have it handy to claim one unit per purchase; if you did not receive one (or threw it away), you can still file a claim form for one Award Unit.
All claims must be submitted online or postmarked no later than August 7, 2026. After valid claims are counted and the Court grants final approval, the administrator will distribute payments to claiming class members.
- Exclude yourself (opt out). To keep your right to sue Nutricost separately over these issues, you must mail a written request for exclusion to the settlement administrator, postmarked by August 7, 2026. If you opt out, you cannot receive a payment from this settlement.
- Object. If you stay in the class but disagree with the settlement's terms, you can file a written objection with the Court and serve it on the administrator by August 7, 2026, and ask to be heard at the Final Approval Hearing.
- Do nothing. You will receive no payment and will remain bound by the settlement, giving up your right to sue Nutricost over the claims in this case.
The Court will hold a Final Approval Hearing on October 15, 2026, at the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York in Central Islip, to decide whether the settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate and to rule on requests for attorneys' fees and incentive awards. You are not required to attend the hearing to benefit from the settlement, and the date may be changed without further notice — check the official settlement website for updates.
