- How much elemental magnesium does one serving give?
- The label states 1000mg of elemental magnesium per serving. That is well above typical single-form supplements, so check how it fits your diet and any other magnesium you take.
- Why blend eight forms instead of one?
- Each form absorbs differently: citrate and glycinate are well absorbed, oxide is cheap and bulky, and malate and taurate are chosen for specific uses. A blend aims to cover several needs at once.
- Can a high dose cause digestive upset?
- Magnesium, especially oxide and citrate, can loosen stools in larger amounts. A 1000mg elemental dose is high, so start carefully and split the serving if needed.
- Should I take it with food?
- Magnesium is generally easier on the stomach with a meal. Follow the label directions and keep it away from high-dose zinc or calcium supplements if you take them.
- Who should avoid it?
- People with kidney problems, and anyone on prescription medication, should check with a doctor before taking a high-dose magnesium supplement.
