Magnesium

Buy Magnesium Supplements Online in the UK

Magnesium is an essential mineral that contributes to a number of normal functions within the body, including:

– Normal muscle function
– Normal functioning of the nervous system
– Normal psychological function
– Normal energy-yielding metabolism
– Reduction of tiredness and fatigue
– Maintenance of normal bones and teeth
– Electrolyte balance
– Normal protein synthesis

While magnesium occurs naturally in foods including nuts, seeds, whole grains and leafy green vegetables, some people choose a magnesium supplement as a convenient addition to their everyday diet.

When shopping for magnesium supplements online, you’ll quickly notice that there isn’t just one type of magnesium. Different products use different forms, strengths and serving sizes, so it’s worth comparing the label rather than choosing solely on the number printed on the front of the bottle.

Which Magnesium Supplement Should I Choose?

The best choice will depend on what you’re looking for, your preferred supplement format and your budget.

Magnesium Glycinate

Magnesium glycinate has become one of the most popular magnesium supplements and is widely available in capsules and tablets.

It combines magnesium with the amino acid glycine and is often chosen by people looking for a premium magnesium formulation that’s easy to incorporate into an everyday supplement routine.

Our range includes several magnesium glycinate products, allowing you to compare different strengths, pack sizes and brands before purchasing.

Magnesium Citrate

Magnesium citrate is another widely used form of magnesium and is a popular choice for general supplementation.

When comparing citrate products, pay attention to the amount of magnesium provided per serving as well as the number of tablets or capsules required each day. A larger bottle isn’t necessarily better value if the recommended serving requires several tablets.

Magnesium Oxide

If price and simplicity are important, magnesium oxide is commonly found in affordable, higher-strength magnesium supplements.

It’s worth remembering that the stated weight of a magnesium compound and the amount of elemental magnesium it supplies aren’t necessarily the same thing, so check the nutritional information on individual products carefully.

Magnesium Malate & Magnesium Taurate

For shoppers looking beyond the most common magnesium forms, we also stock specialist options including magnesium malate and magnesium taurate.

These provide additional choice for people who already know which magnesium formulation they prefer or want to compare different forms.

Magnesium Tablets, Capsules, Gummies or Powder?

Choosing the right magnesium supplement isn’t only about the type of magnesium.

Think about which format you’ll actually find convenient to take regularly.

Tablets and capsules remain the most popular choices and are available in a wide variety of strengths and pack sizes.

If you dislike swallowing tablets, magnesium gummies offer a convenient alternative.

We also stock specialist formats such as magnesium powders and softgels, giving you plenty of choice when building your supplement routine.
