WHY WE STOCK IT
An unflavoured magnesium powder providing 200 mg of elemental magnesium per rounded scoop. Its buffered bis-glycinate blend combines magnesium bis-glycinate with magnesium oxide and glycine, offering a concentrated option designed to be gentler on the digestive system than many conventional magnesium products.
 
Magnesium supports normal muscle and nerve function, energy metabolism, tissue formation and the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. It also helps prevent magnesium deficiency.
 
BEST FOR
Adults and families who prefer a powder instead of capsules or need a flexible magnesium dose. It can be mixed into water or another beverage and contains no sugar, flavouring or sweetener.
 
Although marketed as gentle, this is a buffered formula containing magnesium oxide. Anyone with a highly sensitive digestive system may prefer CanPrev’s fully reacted Ultra Gentle bis-glycinate formula.
 
Magnesium may support general health but is not a proven stand-alone treatment for chronic insomnia, anxiety, migraines, heart rhythm disorders or persistent muscle cramps. Ongoing symptoms should be medically assessed.
 
HOW TO TAKE IT
Dissolve the powder in liquid and stir well.
Labelled daily directions:
Children 1–3 years: ¼ rounded scoop
Children 4–8 years: ½ rounded scoop
Adolescents 9–18 years: 1 rounded scoop
Adults: 1–2 rounded scoops
 
Each rounded 1 g scoop provides 200 mg of elemental magnesium. At the adult dose, the 120 g container supplies approximately 60–120 days.
 
Use only the enclosed scoop and confirm the physical label before giving this supplement to a child. Begin with the lowest labelled dose to assess digestive tolerance.
 
MEDICATION AND SAFETY CAUTIONS
Magnesium can reduce the absorption of certain medications. Separate it from:
Levothyroxine by at least 4 hours
Tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics by the interval directed by your pharmacist
Bisphosphonate osteoporosis medications by at least 2 hours
Iron, zinc and calcium supplements by approximately 2 hours when optimal absorption is important
 
Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you have kidney disease or impaired kidney function. Healthy kidneys remove excess magnesium, but magnesium can accumulate to dangerous levels when kidney function is reduced.
 
Ask our pharmacist before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take prescription medication or use another magnesium-containing supplement, antacid or laxative.
 
Even gentle magnesium may cause loose stools, nausea, abdominal cramping or diarrhea, particularly at the two-scoop adult dose. Reduce the dose or stop use if these effects occur. Seek urgent care for severe weakness, confusion, breathing difficulty, marked drowsiness or an unusually slow or irregular heartbeat.
 
Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is broken.
