Magnesium is the mineral most people are genuinely short of

This is not marketing. Dietary surveys consistently find a large share of adults consuming below the recommended intake, and the reasons are structural: magnesium is concentrated in leafy greens, nuts, seeds and whole grains, and it is largely stripped out during food refining.

Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzymatic reactions, which is an unusual claim to be able to make. Among the ones that matter here:

Energy production. ATP is biologically active as Mg-ATP — magnesium bound to it. Without magnesium, ATP does not function
Muscle relaxation. Calcium triggers contraction; magnesium is central to the relaxation that follows. That balance is why deficiency is associated with cramping and twitching
Nerve transmission and neuromuscular signalling
Sleep and stress. Magnesium is sometimes called the anti-stress mineral, and it supports the pathways involved in winding down
Bone formation. Roughly 60% of your body's magnesium is stored in bone

Athletes lose more of it — magnesium is excreted in sweat and urine, and hard training increases turnover.

What "chelated" actually means — and why it is on the label

This word appears across the whole NutraBio mineral range, and it is worth understanding once.

Minerals in their raw inorganic form — oxides, carbonates, sulphates — are poorly absorbed. Your gut has a limited number of mineral transporters, and when several minerals arrive at once they compete for the same transporters. Much of what you swallow is simply excreted.

Chelation solves that with a piece of biological misdirection. The mineral is molecularly bonded to an amino acid — typically glycine — so it is effectively wrapped in amino acid.

Your body absorbs amino acids through a completely different, far higher-capacity pathway, because it is built to handle the large quantities that come from dietary protein. A chelated mineral rides that pathway instead, which means better absorption and no competition with other minerals.

The second benefit is comfort. Unabsorbed minerals sitting in the gut are what cause the cramping, bloating and loose stools people associate with mineral supplements. Better absorption means less left behind.

NutraBio use Albion minerals — the company that developed the TRAACS chelation standard, with a substantial published research base behind their forms.

⚠ Why the form matters more with magnesium than almost anything

Magnesium oxide is the cheapest form and the one in most supermarket supplements. It is roughly 60% magnesium by weight, which looks impressive on a label — but absorption is poor.

And the unabsorbed portion has a consequence: magnesium oxide draws water into the bowel. That is why it works as a laxative, and why people who take cheap magnesium often report loose stools and conclude that "magnesium upsets my stomach."

It usually is not magnesium. It is that form of magnesium. Chelated forms are absorbed far better and are correspondingly gentler.

200mg is roughly half the adult RDA, which is deliberate — the intention is to top up dietary intake rather than replace it. NutraBio's directions allow one to two servings daily.

How to take it

One serving, once or twice daily.
Evening is a sensible default if you are taking it for sleep or muscle relaxation.
With or without food. Chelated forms do not need a meal to absorb well.
Take it away from high-dose zinc or calcium if you take those separately — although chelation largely removes the competition problem, spacing them is still tidier.
Give it a few weeks. Magnesium status corrects gradually rather than overnight.

Who this is for

Anyone who cramps or twitches — one of the more commonly reported signs of low magnesium
People who train hard, since magnesium is lost in sweat
Anyone who has tried cheap magnesium and had loose stools
People taking it for sleep and stress support
Anyone who does not eat much in the way of leafy greens, nuts and seeds
Vegetarians and vegans — vegetable capsules

Who this is not for

If you specifically want the laxative effect, magnesium oxide is cheaper and does that job.

If you want magnesium combined with zinc, a ZMA-style product covers both.

Speak to your doctor first if you have kidney disease — impaired kidneys cannot clear excess magnesium, and that is a genuine caution rather than a formality.

Magnesium can interfere with the absorption of some antibiotics and thyroid medication. Space them several hours apart and check with your pharmacist.

Not for anyone under 18, pregnant or nursing.

Stack it with: zinc and vitamin D, which are the two other nutrients most commonly found low in active people.

Frequently asked questions

What does chelated mean?
The mineral is bonded to an amino acid, so it is absorbed through the high-capacity amino acid pathway rather than competing for limited mineral transporters. Better absorbed and gentler on the gut.

Why not just buy cheap magnesium?
Magnesium oxide is poorly absorbed and draws water into the bowel, which is why it is used as a laxative. Most people who say magnesium upsets their stomach have taken that form.

How much magnesium do I need?
200mg here is roughly half the adult RDA. It is designed to top up dietary intake, not replace it.

When should I take it?
Evening suits most people, particularly if you are taking it for sleep or muscle relaxation.

Will it help with cramps?
Possibly. Magnesium is central to muscle relaxation, and cramping is a commonly reported sign of low status. It is not the only cause of cramp.

Can I take it with food?
Yes. Chelated forms absorb well either way.

Any medication interactions?
Magnesium can interfere with some antibiotics and thyroid medication — space them apart and ask your pharmacist. Speak to your doctor first if you have kidney disease.
