Bioavailable form
Meaningful dose
To ensure the dose of magnesium is optimal for health, we recommend taking 2 capsules per day, delivering a dose of 380mg elemental magnesium derived from 1300mg bulk magnesium. This provides 100% of the Nutrient Reference Value per serving. The tub provides a 90-day supply when taking the recommended 2 capsules a day. Split dosing magnesium improves uptake; for optimal absorption and all-day coverage, we recommend splitting the daily dose between morning and evening.
Supporting mood & sleep
Magnesium is one of the essential nutrients required for neurotransmitter production and regulation, including feel-good serotonin, rewarding dopamine, calming GABA and sleep-inducing hormones. Magnesium also supports the nervous system and normal psychological function, including concentration, learning and memory. Without adequate magnesium, the brain may struggle to perform these tasks efficiently, and suboptimal levels are often associated with low mood and irritability.
Muscle function & energy
Magnesium is required for cell division; therefore, it’s essential to build body tissue, including skin and muscle. It also plays a role in recovery after exercise. Required for muscle function, magnesium allows for contraction and relaxation of muscles, as well as supporting the muscles of the heart and regulating the heartbeat. Essential to energy production, magnesium plays a crucial role in converting carbohydrates, proteins and fat into energy for the cells.
Bone health
Magnesium is required for converting vitamin D to its most active form, in turn supporting calcium absorption. Both calcium and magnesium are important for the health and maintenance of bones and teeth, with around 52% of the body’s magnesium stored in bones. With 40% of peak bone mass formed during adolescence, it is clear that magnesium is not just important for later life, but also early on to support the prevention of disease.
Our Triple Magnesium Complex, part of the Targeted Intensive Support range, contains three fully reacted forms of magnesium, targeting three different uptake pathways for optimal absorption. It is especially well-suited to those with sensitive digestion as the chosen forms are particularly gentle, or anyone seeking enhanced bioavailability for more intensive support. In contrast, Pure & Essential Magnesium Glycinate contains a carefully balanced ratio of fully reacted magnesium glycinate, a gentle and bioavailable form, with magnesium oxide, which has lower bioavailability but is highly concentrated in elemental magnesium. This allows for greater magnesium delivery in a more cost-effective formula without compromising on efficacy or tolerability. As part of our Pure & Essential range, this product is ideal for individuals looking to support their daily magnesium intake with a higher dose.
Magnesium can interact with certain medicines (e.g., some antibiotics, bisphosphonates, and diuretics). Check with your healthcare professional before combining supplements with prescription drugs.
Consult your midwife or doctor before taking any supplement during pregnancy or while breastfeeding to confirm appropriateness and dosing.
Magnesium Glycinate supports relaxation and can improve sleep quality for some people by helping calm the nervous system prior to bedtime.
Magnesium glycinate supports normal muscle function and can help reduce cramps and muscle tension when dietary magnesium is low.
