Most magnesium upsets your stomach. Not this one.
Why the form matters.
You don't absorb magnesium just because you swallowed it. Oxide dissolves poorly, so much of the dose is never absorbed at all. What's left stays in your intestine and pulls water in behind it. That's where the diarrhea comes from.
Gentle on the stomach.
Bisglycinate is magnesium bound to glycine, an amino acid. Put head to head against oxide in a double-blind trial, it was the better tolerated of the two. That's the whole reason it's the form used here.
Most adults are running low.
Nearly half of Americans take in less magnesium than they need. Heavy drinking, gut conditions, some prescription medications, and a diet light on greens, nuts and whole grains all pull it lower.
Easy to take every day
Who it's for
This is for you if you:
How to take it
Mix one scoop (5.7g) into water or the beverage of your choice, once a day. One scoop gives you 300mg of magnesium, 71% of a day's value. Or take it as your practitioner has directed.
Good to know
It has a light, natural strawberry-lemonade taste and mixes in cleanly, so it blends easily into water, sparkling water, or a smoothie. There's no gluten, corn, yeast, artificial colors, or artificial flavors in it.
Before you start
If you're pregnant, nursing, have kidney problems, or take prescription medication, check with your physician first. Magnesium can interfere with some antibiotics and osteoporosis drugs, so take those a few hours apart.
