Already in ionic form (Mg2+), it is directly absorbed by intestinal cells without requiring the digestive work needed to break down tablets or capsules. The bioavailability of this form is superior to magnesium oxide (the least expensive and least effective form found in many supplements) and comparable to or better than magnesium bisglycinate. The liquid form also allows precise dosage adjustment and facilitates absorption, particularly for people with reduced digestive capacity.
70–80% of the population does not meet its daily magnesium needs. Classic signs: muscle cramps (especially at night), palpitations or cardiac arrhythmia, chronic fatigue, anxiety, sleep disturbances, headaches, trembling eyelids, hypersensitivity to noise. The deficiency is worsened by chronic stress (the stress–magnesium vicious cycle), high sugar consumption, alcohol, proton pump inhibitors, and certain diuretics.
The EU NRV is 375 mg/day for adults. In practice, therapeutic needs are often higher: 300–500 mg of elemental magnesium per day. Start with a low dose and gradually increase to avoid the laxative effect that high doses can cause in some people (this effect does not occur with ionic form at normal doses). Adjust according to your own tolerance and needs.
A 2021 meta-analysis confirmed the positive role of magnesium supplementation in reducing exercise-induced muscle cramps. Magnesium is essential for muscle relaxation (calcium causes contraction, magnesium causes relaxation). It also improves sleep quality and post-exercise recovery. Athletes have 10–20% higher magnesium needs than sedentary people.
Yes, and it is recommended. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, or preferably its active form P5P) increases the cellular penetration of magnesium and enhances its action on the nervous system and against anxiety. The Mg–B6 combination is the most studied for reducing PMS, anxiety, and stress. Take the B Complex alongside your Ionic Magnesium for this synergy.
In the evening, 30–60 minutes before bedtime: magnesium promotes muscle relaxation, reduces cortisol, and facilitates sleep. If you take it in two doses, the second can be in the evening and the first at lunch. Avoid the morning if you have found it reduces your energy (rare but possible in some sensitive people).
Severe renal insufficiency (stage 4–5 CKD): the kidneys cannot eliminate excess magnesium, risk of hypermagnesaemia. Do not take without medical advice in this case. Certain medications interact with magnesium: some antibiotics (tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones), bisphosphonates, and cardiac medications. Space intake 2 hours apart from these medications.
