Vegan Chelated Magnesium Supplement

This depends on your magnesium levels. If you’re severely deficient, you might notice a difference almost immediately, but if you’re just on the lower side, the impact might be more subtle. Rest assured though, as an essential mineral, the magnesium will be working quietly away.

Again, this really depends on your magnesium levels. In an ideal world, we’d all have frequent blood tests, and we recommend you do try and at least have one. However, the reality is at least half of Americans aren’t getting enough. This isn’t necessarily because they’re not eating enough magnesium-rich dark leafy greens and nuts, but sometimes the soil these foods are grown in simply don’t have enough magnesium in them. On top of that, people who consume alcohol frequently are at a higher risk of deficiency. (1) Athletes and those who sweat heavily also require higher levels of magnesium. (2)

Magnesium is an essential mineral that we already consume through our diet. The intestinal absorption of magnesium varies depending on how much magnesium the body needs, so there are not very many side-effects associated with supplementation. If there is too much magnesium, the body will only absorb as much as it needs. However, those with diabetes, intestinal disease, heart disease or kidney disease should consult a medical professional before supplementing.

Nope! It's free from all of those.

We use magnesium bisglycinate chelate buffered, which includes magnesium bisglycinate chelate and magnesium oxide. It’s a patented formula also known as TRAACS, produced by a company called Albion. Each dose is 200mg.

If you already have sufficient magnesium levels, absolutely nothing! However, if you’re in the majority of Americans that don’t get enough, then it can have an impact on your sleep quality, anxiety, energy levels and muscle function. Those that frequently drink alcohol, athletes and those that sweat a lot are also at increased risk of not getting enough magnesium.

We use a patented magnesium bisglycinate chelate buffered produced by a company called Albion, which is a combination of magnesium bisglycinate chelate and magnesium oxide.

We use this form because it is the most bioavailable organic mineral form available, which means that it’s better absorbed than anything else. You can see (a rather old fashioned) but handy video about it here: https://balchem.com/human-nutrition-health/resources/albion-magnesium-bisglycinate-chelate/

Albion’s magnesium chelates have also been clinically demonstrated to be easier on the gastrointestinal tract than inorganic mineral sources; the buffered form utilizes magnesium oxide to combine high elemental magnesium value with high bioavailability.
