Neutrient Magnesium Capsules

Studies suggest that magnesium taurate is more active in the brain than other forms of magnesium and has a higher rate of absorption than magnesium citrate or magnesium malate.

There are lots of different types of magnesium and some are more effective than others. By far the best type of magnesium supplements are called magnesium chelates and some are better than others. If you are weighing up the benefits of magnesium glycinate vs citrate, then it’s magnesium glycinate that’s the winner. Why? Because magnesium glycinate is far more absorbable which means you benefit from higher amounts that get to work quicker.

Neutrient Magnesium contains a fast-absorbing form of magnesium glycinate called magnesium bisglycinate expertly formulated with three other high strength and potent types of magnesium chelates - magnesium taurate, magnesium citrate and magnesium malate. Magnesium chelates are excellent for increasing your magnesium levels where there may be a deficiency.  

The current recommended daily allowance also known as the NRV (nutrition reference value) is 375mg per day for adults and because you gain a fair percentage of this from your diet (there are lots of foods that are rich in magnesium), the upper safety limit for supplementing with magnesium is 250mg a day for adults. Neutrient Magnesium provides 244 mg of highly absorbable, fast-acting magnesium, the perfect amount to top up your dietary intake without going over those all-important safety limits.

The NRV are set according to what’s required to help maintain a state of health for someone who is already healthy. Nutrition practitioners and other healthcare professionals often prescribe higher levels of magnesium for clients that have a diagnosed magnesium deficiency or have a collection of symptoms that are associated with low magnesium.

Generally speaking, most magnesium supplements are fine to take alongside antidepressants but we always advise anyone taking a prescribed medication to check with their doctor before taking a supplement. Supplements that you can’t mix with antidepressants include SAMe, 5-HTP and St John’s Wort, just to name a few.

The recommended dietary allowance for magnesium during pregnancy varies depending on the stage of pregnancy and individual factors. In the UK, the safe upper limit (UL) for magnesium for pregnant women is 250 mg/day. It's essential for pregnant women to discuss their dietary and supplementation needs with their healthcare provider to ensure they meet their individual requirements and maintain optimal health during pregnancy.

Because magnesium contributes to normal muscle function it may be helpful for people who are experiencing issues with muscle function. Neutrient Magnesium is a supplement with four types of magnesium chelates that are shown to be better absorbed, so it has a real advantage over other forms of magnesium such as magnesium gel, that would normally be applied topically.

Changes in hormone levels around the menopause may result in a range of symptoms that are associated with brain health and muscle function. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle and psychological function as well as normal nervous system function, so it may be beneficial to include foods in the diet that are rich in magnesium such as green leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds. Well absorbed supplements like Neutrient Magnesium can be a useful support when the diet is poor.

Best magnesium supplement UK brand Neutrient has a highly impressive ‘does-it-all’ multitasking Neutrient Magnesium which provides not one, not two, not three but…. FOUR powerful forms of magnesium chelates! Why is this so unique? Well, because most magnesium supplements only provide one type of magnesium chelate. Magnesium chelates are a much more advanced form of magnesium as the magnesium has been bonded to an amino acid (protein) or organic compound which accelerates the absorption and escorts the magnesium to the parts of the body where those amino acids or organic compounds are most active. Magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium taurate have excellent absorption rates, closely followed by magnesium malate and magnesium citrate. Magnesium chelates are also very gentle on the gut.

Good digestion and a healthy metabolism are important factors for turning food into energy so that it isn’t stored in the body as fat. Several nutrients are involved in these biological pathways and that includes magnesium which contributes to normal energy yielding metabolism.

This is a difficult question to answer as we are so individual. There are multiple factors that influence magnesium absorption, cellular uptake and magnesium retention and excretion. Lifestyle factors and existing health conditions can all influence how quickly magnesium is lost from your body. The best tactic is to take a daily magnesium supplement containing 244mg of magnesium chelates in at least four different forms so that your body can benefit from this full range of magnesium support, every day.

The muscles that line the gut rhythmically contract and relax creating a wave like motion which propels food through the intestine. Calcium helps the muscle contract and magnesium helps the muscle relax. In a normal healthy gut this biological process ensures regular bowel movements. A lack of dietary fibre, dehydration and other lifestyle factors can sometimes affect the movement of food through the digestive system leading to constipation. Supplementing with daily magnesium chelate formula helps to support normal muscle function.

There are so many foods that are rich in magnesium giving you multiple ways to increase your magnesium intake. Nuts, seeds and green leafy veg are at the top of the list, but wholegrains, legumes, tofu and avocados are also great sources of magnesium.
