Most Magnesium Supplements are Quietly Wasting Your Money.
Magnesium oxide, the cheapest form, has roughly 4% bioavailability. Companies use it to inflate their elemental numbers on the label while delivering almost nothing to your cells. Brad King calls it one of the worst-kept secrets in the supplement industry.
Real Magnesium is formulated differently — at every level.
One mineral. Four systems.
Magnesium runs over 300 chemical reactions in the body. The problem is most supplements use a single cheap form, magnesium oxide, with 4% bioavailability. Real Magnesium uses four non-buffered forms, each chosen for where it works best.
Bisglycinate for relaxation and sleep. L-Threonate for superior cellular absorption. Taurate for the heart. Citrate for digestion. Together they cover what no single form can.
What's In Every Serving
250mg total elemental magnesium. Zero oxide fillers. Four clinically-chosen forms.
Magnesium
Bisglycinate
Chelated for gentle absorption. Supports relaxation, deep sleep and muscle comfort. The most well-tolerated form for daily use.
How it works:Glycine chelation improves gut uptake · Crosses into muscle tissue to reduce tension · Supports GABA pathways for restful sleep
Magnesium
L-Threonate
A highly bioavailable form of magnesium with superior cellular uptake. Delivers elemental magnesium more effectively than standard forms.
How it works:Enhanced cellular absorption · Works alongside other magnesium forms for whole-body coverage · Non-buffered, zero oxide
Magnesium
Taurate
Paired with taurine to support cardiovascular health. Helps the heart muscle function efficiently and supports electrolyte balance.
How it works:Taurine amplifies magnesium's effect on heart tissue · Supports healthy blood pressure · Regulates electrolyte balance in cardiac cells
Magnesium
Citrate
Supports energy metabolism and helps maintain healthy digestion and regularity.
How it works:Citric acid improves absorption · Supports ATP energy production · Promotes bowel regularity through osmotic action

Common Questions
Take 3 capsules daily. Each capsule delivers 83.33mg of elemental magnesium. Three capsules provide 250mg of total elemental magnesium from four non-buffered forms. You can split the serving across the day or take all at once.
Most supplements use magnesium oxide, which has roughly 4% bioavailability. Real Magnesium uses four non-buffered forms: Bisglycinate, L-Threonate, Taurate and Citrate. Each delivers significantly higher absorption and targets a different body system.
If you are taking prescription medications, consult your healthcare provider before adding any magnesium supplement. Magnesium can interact with certain medications including antibiotics and blood pressure drugs.
