About magnesium
Magnesium is a mineral involved in many normal processes in the body, including muscle function, energy metabolism, and the maintenance of bones and teeth.
Our formula uses a blend of two well-studied forms: magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium oxide. Bisglycinate is magnesium bound to two molecules of glycine, an amino acid that acts as a carrier. Oxide is one of the longest-used forms of magnesium in nutritional supplements. The two are combined here to round out the profile in a single daily capsule.

Most people take it as a daily nutritional baseline rather than for a specific acute effect.

What to expect
Magnesium is a nutritional building block. It's not the kind of supplement that produces a dramatic immediate sensation when you take it.
Timing varies from one person to the next. Your healthcare provider can help you decide what's best for your situation.
Before you start
These cautionary notes come with our Health Canada licence.
Magnesium is generally well tolerated. If your stomach is on the sensitive side, take it with food and a full glass of water.

Common questions
Is it suitable for both men and women? +
Yes, for any adult 19 or older.
Can I take it with my medications? +
We always recommend talking with your healthcare provider before combining any supplement with prescription medication. Magnesium can interact with certain medications, and your provider knows your full picture.
Can I take it alongside other supplements? +
We always recommend talking to your healthcare provider before combining any supplements. Every body is different, and your provider knows your personal health history best. If they give you the green light, we suggest introducing one supplement at a time and seeing how your body responds before adding the next.
What's the difference between elemental magnesium and the form of magnesium? +
Elemental magnesium is what your body actually uses. The form (bisglycinate, oxide, citrate, and others) is what the magnesium is bound to before your body breaks it down. Our label shows 200 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule, delivered from a blend of magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium oxide. If your healthcare provider has given you a target dose, ask which number they mean.
When's the best time to take it? +
Either time works. Many people take one capsule with breakfast and one in the evening. With or without food is fine, though with food may be gentler on the stomach.
Can I take more than 2 capsules a day? +
The Health Canada-licensed dose is 1 capsule twice daily, for 400 mg of elemental magnesium per day. If you're considering a higher dose, talk with your healthcare provider, especially if you have kidney conditions or take medications that affect magnesium balance.
Can I take it every day, long-term? +
Magnesium is generally well tolerated for daily use by adults. Your healthcare provider can confirm what fits your situation, especially if you have ongoing health considerations.
Can I take it during pregnancy or breastfeeding? +
Please check with your healthcare provider first. Magnesium recommendations vary depending on your overall intake and any prenatal supplements you may already be taking.
Do you offer other bottle sizes or subscriptions? +
Our current sizes are 60 capsules and 120 capsules. We're always working on expanding our catalogue with new sizes and product lines, so keep an eye out. In the meantime, you can find us on Amazon at our Amazon storefront, where we run ongoing promotions, offer Subscribe & Save, and bulk-purchase discounts at checkout.
