Magnesium Bisglycinate

Magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine — well absorbed and gentle on the stomach. Contributes to normal muscle function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Key Function

Muscle and nerve function, energy, tiredness.

What it's used for

A gentle, highly absorbable chelated form of magnesium.

Key Benefits

Magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine — well absorbed and gentle on the stomach. Contributes to normal muscle function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Science Behind It

Magnesium bisglycinate is magnesium chelated to two molecules of glycine, a form recognised for good absorption and gentleness on digestion. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, normal nervous-system function, normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal psychological function, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Magnesium Citrate

Contributes to normal muscle and nerve function, energy-yielding metabolism, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. A highly bioavailable form.

Key Function

Muscle and nerve function, energy production, bone health.

What it's used for

Magnesium supplementation for muscle, nerve, and energy support.

Key Benefits

Contributes to normal muscle and nerve function, energy-yielding metabolism, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. A highly bioavailable form.

Science Behind It

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. It contributes to normal muscle function, nerve transmission, protein synthesis, and energy-yielding metabolism (ATP). Magnesium citrate is a highly bioavailable form, meaning it is well absorbed by the body.

Magnesium Malate

Magnesium combined with malic acid. Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and normal muscle function.

Key Function

Energy metabolism, muscle function.

What it's used for

Magnesium bound to malic acid, a compound in the body's energy cycle.

Key Benefits

Magnesium combined with malic acid. Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and normal muscle function.

Science Behind It

Magnesium malate pairs magnesium with malic acid, a compound naturally involved in the body's energy (Krebs) cycle. Magnesium contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal muscle function, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Zinc Citrate

Contributes to the normal function of the immune system, normal cognitive function, and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Key Function

Immune function, cognition, antioxidant defence.

What it's used for

A well-absorbed form of the essential mineral zinc.

Key Benefits

Contributes to the normal function of the immune system, normal cognitive function, and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Science Behind It

Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions. Zinc citrate is a well-absorbed form. Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system, normal cognitive function, normal macronutrient metabolism, and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Black Pepper Extract

Significantly increases the bioavailability of curcumin, may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on its own.

Key Function

Bioavailability enhancer, antioxidant.

What it's used for

Primarily to enhance the absorption of other compounds, particularly curcumin.

Key Benefits

Significantly increases the bioavailability of curcumin, may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on its own.

Science Behind It

The active compound in black pepper extract is piperine. Piperine is well-known for its ability to enhance the bioavailability of various nutrients and drugs. In the case of curcumin, piperine works by inhibiting certain enzymes in the liver and intestine that metabolize curcumin, allowing more of it to enter the bloodstream and exert its effects. It also promotes the absorption of some nutrients by modulating membrane permeability.

Vitamin D3

Contributes to the normal absorption of calcium, the maintenance of normal bones, teeth, and muscle function, and the normal function of the immune system.

Key Function

Calcium and phosphate homeostasis, bone health, immune modulation.

What it's used for

Bone strength, immune support, muscle function.

Key Benefits

Contributes to the normal absorption of calcium, the maintenance of normal bones, teeth, and muscle function, and the normal function of the immune system.

Science Behind It

Vitamin D3 is synthesised in the skin upon exposure to UVB sunlight or obtained from diet and supplements. It is metabolised into its active form, calcitriol, which acts as a hormone. It contributes to the normal absorption and use of calcium, the maintenance of normal bones, teeth, and muscle function, and the normal function of the immune system.

3am. Magnesium is used in more than 300 reactions in the body, and it is one of the minerals people most often fall short on. When intake is low, the nervous system is usually where it is felt first.

A magnesium supplement is only as good as the form it is built from, because different forms are absorbed differently. Most supermarket magnesium is a single, cheap salt that is poorly absorbed. Ours is a complex of three.

Three forms, chosen on purpose

  • Magnesium bisglycinate — bound to the amino acid glycine, gentle on the stomach and one of the most bioavailable forms, which is why it leads the blend.
  • Magnesium citrate — the form used in much of the research on normal muscle function, and well absorbed.
  • Magnesium malate — bound to malic acid, a molecule the body uses in its own energy cycle.

Together they deliver 375mg of elemental magnesium per two-capsule serving — the figure that actually matters, since the weight of a magnesium compound and the amount of magnesium it contains are not the same thing, and most labels quote the former.

What magnesium does

In the words authorised by European food-safety regulators, magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, normal energy-yielding metabolism, electrolyte balance, and the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.

How to take it

Two capsules daily, with or without food. Consistency matters more than timing — magnesium builds up with regular intake rather than working in a single dose.

The proving

One in every twenty of our capsules is opened and tested, so the label and the contents agree. Bottled in Miron violet glass, which filters visible light to protect what is inside. Made in the UK to FSSC 22000 standard, vegan, and free from GMO.

Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

FAQ

What does magnesium do?

Magnesium is used in more than 300 reactions in the body. The effects authorised by European food-safety regulators include contributions to normal muscle function, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, normal energy-yielding metabolism, electrolyte balance, and the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.

What is the best form of magnesium to take?

There is no single best form — it depends on what you absorb well and tolerate. Bisglycinate is gentle and highly bioavailable, citrate is well studied and well absorbed, and malate is bound to a molecule the body uses in its own energy cycle. Our complex combines all three rather than relying on one cheap salt.

How much magnesium is in each serving?

375mg of elemental magnesium per two-capsule serving. That is the amount of actual magnesium rather than the total weight of the magnesium compound — the figure worth comparing between brands.

What is the difference between magnesium bisglycinate, citrate and malate?

Bisglycinate is magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine, which makes it gentle on the stomach and well absorbed. Citrate is bound to citric acid and is also well absorbed. Malate is bound to malic acid, a molecule the body uses in its own energy cycle. Our complex uses all three.

When should I take magnesium?

Any time of day, with or without food. What matters most is taking it consistently, since magnesium works through regular daily intake rather than a single dose.

Can I take this magnesium supplement every day?

Yes — it is designed for daily use. As with any food supplement, do not exceed the recommended two capsules a day. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication, speak to your doctor first.

Can I take too much magnesium?

Taking more than the recommended amount from supplements can cause loose stools or digestive discomfort. The body clears excess magnesium through the kidneys, so this is uncommon in healthy adults — but if you have kidney problems, speak to your doctor before supplementing.

Is thecary's Magnesium Complex vegan?

Yes. Our Magnesium Complex is vegan and free from GMO, made in the UK to FSSC 22000 standard, with a plant-based capsule shell.

Does magnesium interact with any medications?

Magnesium can interact with some antibiotics, bisphosphonates, and certain blood pressure or heart medications. If you take prescription medication, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before starting a magnesium supplement.

What makes thecary's Magnesium Complex different?

Three bioavailable forms instead of one cheap salt, an honest elemental dose, one-in-twenty capsule testing, and Miron violet glass packaging. It pairs well with our Vitamin B Complex and NMN 500mg for broader daily support.
