The Essential Mineral for 300+ Body Functions

Yes—because these seemingly unrelated symptoms often share a common root cause: magnesium deficiency affecting over 300 biochemical reactions throughout your body. Magnesium isn't a miracle cure, but an essential mineral that most of us aren't getting enough of. Supplementation simply corrects a widespread nutritional deficiency that manifests in multiple ways simultaneously.

Modern agricultural practices have depleted soil magnesium levels by 20-40% over recent decades. Processed food diets remove up to 80% of magnesium during refining. Chronic stress actively depletes magnesium stores through increased urinary excretion. Common medications interfere with absorption or increase excretion. This creates a perfect storm where 8 out of 10 Americans don't meet recommended intake.

Magnesium oxide provides the highest concentration of elemental magnesium per dose (about 60% by weight) and is particularly effective for digestive health due to its osmotic action. Magnesium citrate has higher bioavailability but may cause loose stools. Magnesium glycinate is well-absorbed and gentle on the stomach. Magnesium threonate crosses the blood-brain barrier effectively. Each form has different strengths—oxide is ideal for both general repletion and digestive regularity.

Magnesium oxide provides the highest elemental magnesium content per capsule, making it cost-effective. More importantly, its lower absorption rate means more magnesium remains in the intestines—which is actually beneficial for digestive support. The osmotic effect draws water into intestines, promoting gentle, natural bowel regularity without stimulant laxative dependency. This makes it ideal for IC/BPS patients needing both magnesium repletion and digestive regularity.

CRITICAL: If you have impaired kidney function, you MUST consult your doctor before taking magnesium supplements. Your kidneys regulate magnesium levels in your bloodstream, and impaired kidney function can lead to dangerous magnesium accumulation. This is a critical safety consideration—always consult your nephrologist before supplementing.

Yes. Magnesium can interact with antibiotics (particularly tetracyclines and quinolones), bisphosphonates, diuretics, and proton pump inhibitors. Timing or dosage adjustments may be needed. Those taking heart medications should coordinate supplementation with their cardiologist. Always consult your healthcare provider if you're taking medications.

For sleep: Take 1-2 hours before bedtime. For bowel regularity: Take in the evening or before bed. For general health: Split dose morning and evening for steady levels. For migraines: Consistent daily use is recommended—not just during attacks. Can be taken with or without food, though taking with food may reduce the rare possibility of stomach upset.

Magnesium can be taken with or without food. Taking with food may reduce the rare possibility of stomach upset in sensitive individuals. There's no specific requirement for food intake—consistency is more important than timing relative to meals.

Digestive effects may be immediate or within a few days. Benefits for sleep and migraines typically require 2-4 weeks of consistent supplementation as your body replenishes depleted stores. Energy improvements may be noticeable within 1-2 weeks. Individual responses vary based on your current magnesium status and overall health.

Equal amounts of magnesium and calcium are recommended to avoid constipation. While calcium can contribute to constipation, magnesium promotes regularity. Balancing both minerals creates optimal digestive and bone health. If you're taking calcium supplements, consider a 1:1 ratio with magnesium.

The 75mg organic aloe vera powder is included as an absorption enhancer—not as filler. Research suggests aloe vera can enhance nutrient absorption across the intestinal wall. The mucopolysaccharides in aloe may help nutrients—including magnesium—cross cell membranes more efficiently. For IC/BPS patients already taking SSAV, this creates powerful synergy.

Magnesium oxide can cause loose stools if you take too much—this is actually how it works for digestive support. If loose stools occur, simply reduce your dose. Start with one capsule and gradually increase to find your optimal dose. The goal is regular, comfortable bowel movements—not diarrhea. Stay hydrated to enhance effectiveness.
