Magnesium

Individuals with severe kidney disease, those with a history of chronic diarrhoea, or those taking certain medications (e.g. diuretics) should avoid magnesium supplements unless advised by a healthcare provider. High doses (doses over our recommended 2 capsules a day) of magnesium can also interfere with certain heart medications.

Many magnesium supplements are made from magnesium oxide, which is cheap but often poorly absorbed by the body, making it a less efficacious form. In clinical settings magnesium oxide is sometimes used as a laxative and bowel preparation for surgery, so not appropriate for people with sensitive guts. Magnesium bisglycinate is highly bioavailable and citrate is quickly absorbed, which is why you are likely to feel the impact quicker. Some forms of magnesium can cause digestive issues, but our two forms are gentle on the digestive system and together, they provide comprehensive support for muscle relaxation, nerve function, and overall well-being.

Avoid taking magnesium supplements with high doses of zinc, as they can interfere with each other's absorption. Additionally, magnesium can interact with certain medications, including bisphosphonates (used for osteoporosis), and diuretics, so it's important to take these supplements at a different time of day or as directed by your healthcare provider.
