What is in it
Magnesium is an essential mineral your body uses for normal muscle and nerve function and for energy production. In a chelate, the magnesium is bound to amino acids, here glycine and lysine. Chelated forms are generally gentler on the stomach than magnesium oxide, which is why many people choose glycinate.
Note the difference between the two numbers on the label. 2,000 mg is the weight of the whole chelate. 200 mg is the actual magnesium you get per serve.
The other ingredients are microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate from a vegetable source, stearic acid, hydroxypropyl cellulose, silicon dioxide and hypromellose.
Who it suits
- Adults who want a chelated magnesium that is easy on the stomach.
- People who prefer tablets with a clear amount of magnesium per tablet, so the dose is easy to adjust.
- Vegans.
Who should check first
- Kidney disease: do not take magnesium supplements without your doctor's advice.
- Taking medication: magnesium can reduce how well some medicines absorb. Take it at least two hours apart from antibiotics, thyroid medicine and osteoporosis medicine, and check with your pharmacist.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding: check with your doctor first.
- Using other magnesium products: add up your totals, including sleep formulas and electrolyte drinks.
How to use it
The label says adults take two tablets twice daily, which is 400 mg of magnesium a day. The upper level for magnesium from supplements in the Australian and New Zealand Nutrient Reference Values is 350 mg a day for adults, so the full label dose is slightly above it. One serve of two tablets a day keeps you under that level. Too much magnesium from supplements can cause loose stools, so cut back if that happens. Many people take it in the evening.
