Why is the total Magnesium 2500mg but the Elemental Magnesium only 485mg? What is the difference?
Magnesium doesn’t exist as a pure element, only in compounds called “salts”. The total magnesium salts (Citrate, Glycinate, Malate, Taurate, Orotate, Lactate) weigh 2500mg, whilst 485mg is the amount of pure magnesium within these compounds.
What are chelated forms of Magnesium and why are they better?
Chelated magnesium means magnesium that is in a compound with an organic substance, either an amino acid or another substance that exists in foods or our bodies. Chelated forms are better than magnesium oxide because they are ready to absorb.
Why is it better to have 6 different forms of Magnesium?
The more different types of magnesium in your supplement, the more magnesium you will absorb. Magnesium can be absorbed in different ways through different uptake pathways. Absorption is also influenced by other foods we have eaten at the same time.
Why have you included Zinc, Vitamin D3 and Vitamin B6?
These three nutrients help you absorb more magnesium. They also work in partnership with magnesium inside your body to multiply the benefits many times over, helping it deliver all the health improvements magnesium is prized for.
If this upsets my tummy, would less than 3 capsules a day still work?
Yes, 1 or 2 capsules a day will still give benefits. The more you absorb, the less your tummy will be upset, so take it with protein and fresh fruit. Most people adapt over a couple of months, and can go up to 3 capsules without getting tummy upset.
