Breakdown of what the ingredients are:

Biotin:

Biotin is a coenzyme and a B vitamin and is also known as vitamin H. As a supplement, biotin is sometimes used for diabetes, brittle nails, and other conditions.
Biotin supplements have been studied as a treatment for a number of conditions. In people with type 2 diabetes, early research suggests that a combination of biotin and chromium might improve blood sugar. On its own, biotin might decrease insulin resistance and nerve symptoms related to type 2 diabetes.
Most people don't need biotin supplements. We get biotin in foods naturally. Our bodies also recycle the biotin we've already used. Genuine biotin deficiency is quite rare.

30 mcg/day is all that one needs from age 19+

Folate

Folate is a water-soluble B vitamin. It is found naturally in foods. This vitamin cannot be stored in your body. You should eat folate-rich foods every day.
Folate is important for everyone. It helps make red blood cells. If you do not have enough folate, you can get a type of anemia. If you have anemia you may feel tired, weak and unable to concentrate.
Folate is very important for infants, children and women who are pregnant. It helps to prevent some birth defects.
Folic acid is a form of folate. This is the type of folate found in vitamin supplements.
Folacin is the generic name for folic acid and folic acid-related substances. It may be used instead of the words folic acid and folate.

from age 19+ one needs from 400mcg - 1000mcg per day.

Magnesium:
Magnesium supplements are available in a variety of forms, including magnesium oxide, citrate, and chloride [2,3]. The Supplement Facts panel on a dietary supplement label declares the amount of elemental magnesium in the product, not the weight of the entire magnesium-containing compound.
Absorption of magnesium from different kinds of magnesium supplements varies. Forms of magnesium that dissolve well in liquid are more completely absorbed in the gut than less soluble forms [2,11]. Small studies have found that magnesium in the aspartate, citrate, lactate, and chloride forms is absorbed more completely and is more bioavailable than magnesium oxide and magnesium sulfate [11-15]. One study found that very high doses of zinc from supplements (142 mg/day) can interfere with magnesium absorption and disrupt the magnesium balance in the body.
Dietary Allowance for Magnesium in an adult woman aged 19-30 is 310mg increasing to 320mg after age of 31. differs for pregnant and lactating women.
