The formulation
Our magnesium 4-fold complex combines magnesium bisglycinate, magnesium citrate, magnesium taurate and magnesium malate with vitamin B6. It does not contain magnesium oxide.
Four magnesium compounds
Bisglycinate, citrate, taurate and malate together form the 4-fold complex.
Deliberately free from magnesium oxide
Magnesium oxide is not an ingredient in this product. We have deliberately chosen four organic magnesium compounds: bisglycinate, citrate, taurate and malate.
2,545 mg of compounds, 300 mg of magnesium
Each daily serving provides 300 mg of elemental magnesium from 2,545 mg of magnesium compounds.
Understanding the formulation
A product containing just one magnesium compound, for example, consists exclusively of magnesium citrate. Our complex combines four compounds with different binding partners.
Magnesium bisglycinate
850 mg (33 %)Magnesium bound to glycine, the smallest amino acid. In this chelated compound, a magnesium ion is bound to two glycine molecules.
Magnesium citrate
617 mg (24 %)Magnesium salt of citric acid. Citrate is highly water-soluble and one of the most widely studied magnesium compounds.
Magnesium taurate
549 mg (22 %)Magnesium bound to taurine, an aminosulphonic acid which the body also produces itself.
Magnesium malate
529 mg (21 %)Magnesium salt of malic acid, a fruit acid found, for example, in apples.
The percentages refer to the weight of the compounds. Together, they provide 300 mg of elemental magnesium per daily serving.

Understanding the declaration
Magnesium compounds do not consist solely of magnesium. Therefore, the label specifies both the compounds used and the amount of elemental magnesium they contain.
300 mg of elemental magnesium
This amount of magnesium is provided by the daily serving of three capsules.
80% NRV
NRV stands for Nutrient Reference Value. 300 mg of magnesium corresponds to 80% of the daily reference value.
Magnesium compound ≠ magnesium content
The total amount of a magnesium compound is higher than the proportion of magnesium it contains.
More milligrams does not automatically mean a better formulation
The figure for elemental magnesium indicates the quantity. When assessing a magnesium product, it is also worth looking at the compounds used. Our 300 mg comes from bisglycinate, citrate, taurate and malate, and not from magnesium oxide.
Easy to use every day
We recommend taking three capsules a day, spread throughout the day, with plenty of liquid, ideally with meals.
3 capsules
daily
At the recommended daily serving, 180 capsules equal 60 daily servings.
With plenty of liquid
Take the capsules with plenty of liquid.
Ideally with meals
It is best to take the capsules with meals.
Spread throughout the day
For example, one capsule each with breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Do not exceed the stated recommended daily dose. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of the reach of young children.

Background
Magnesium is a mineral that the body cannot produce itself. An adult’s body contains around 25 g of magnesium, just over half of it in the bones. The German Nutrition Society gives an estimated value for an adequate intake of 300 mg per day for women and 350 mg per day for men.
Magnesium in food
Magnesium occurs naturally in many foods. These include, for example, pulses, wholegrains, seeds and green vegetables.
Food supplements remain just that – supplements
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Added value in everyday life
Magnesium is also found naturally in food. This bowl combines pumpkin seeds, chickpeas, quinoa and spinach with crispy, roasted sweet potato from the air fryer.

The German Nutrition Society (DGE) gives an estimated value for an adequate intake of 300 mg per day for women and 350 mg per day for men. This refers to your total intake, including the magnesium from food and drinks. Our daily serving of three capsules provides 300 mg of elemental magnesium, which is 80% of the nutrient reference value (NRV).
A daily serving of three capsules contains 850 mg of magnesium bisglycinate, 617 mg of magnesium citrate, 549 mg of magnesium taurate and 529 mg of magnesium malate. Together, these provide 300 mg of elemental magnesium.
Magnesium compounds consist of magnesium and a specific binding partner. The statement ‘300 mg of elemental magnesium’ refers to the amount of magnesium derived from the compounds contained.
We have deliberately formulated the product using four organic compounds: magnesium bisglycinate, magnesium citrate, magnesium taurate and magnesium malate. Each brings its own accompanying substance, namely glycine, citrate, taurine or malate. We do not use magnesium oxide in this product.
Magnesium compounds differ in terms of their binding partner, their solubility and their magnesium content. A product containing only one compound – for example, exclusively magnesium citrate – relies on just one of these profiles. Our complex combines four compounds with different properties in a single daily serving: bisglycinate, citrate, taurate and malate.
Magnesium and vitamin B6 both contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. The daily serving contains 5 mg of vitamin B6, which is 356% of the nutrient reference value. The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) proposes maximum amounts of 250 mg magnesium and 3.5 mg vitamin B6 per day for food supplements. These proposals are not legally binding. So do not take any other supplements containing magnesium or vitamin B6 in addition, and spread the 3 capsules over the day.
We recommend taking three capsules a day, spread throughout the day, with plenty of liquid, ideally with meals. This daily serving provides 300 mg of elemental magnesium and 5 mg of vitamin B6.
We don’t recommend it. According to the recommended daily intake, you take the three capsules spread throughout the day, ideally with meals, for example one each with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each capsule works out at 100 mg of elemental magnesium.
For adults who want to supplement their magnesium intake with a food supplement. A daily serving provides 300 mg of elemental magnesium from four organic compounds and 5 mg of vitamin B6, without magnesium oxide. The capsules are vegan. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have kidney disease, check with your doctor before taking them.
Magnesium can affect the absorption of certain medicines. If you take medication regularly, are pregnant, are breastfeeding or have a medical condition, such as kidney disease, please check with your doctor or at a pharmacy before taking this product.
If you use other food supplements containing magnesium or vitamin B6, such as a multivitamin or a vitamin B complex, add up the amounts of both nutrients and, if in doubt, check the combination with your doctor or pharmacist. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake of three capsules.
NRV stands for Nutrient Reference Value. The daily serving provides 300 mg of elemental magnesium, which is 80% of the NRV, and 5 mg of vitamin B6, which is 356% of the NRV.
Yes. The product uses a vegan HPMC capsule shell. HPMC stands for hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. The formula contains no fillers and no animal-derived ingredients.
One jar contains 180 capsules, which is 60 daily servings of three capsules. Taken daily, it lasts around two months. For the subscription, the ‘Every 8 weeks’ interval is a good fit.
Store the product away from light, in a dry place and out of the reach of young children. According to the label, it should also be kept cool. You’ll find the best-before date on the jar.
