What is Pure Magnesium?

Pure Magnesium is a practitioner-formulated magnesium supplement designed to support the nervous system, muscle function, sleep quality, stress response, and overall mineral balance.

It contains magnesium bisglycinate chelate buffered with a small amount of magnesium oxide, a formulation chosen to maximize absorption while remaining gentle on the digestive system.

What form of magnesium does this product contain?

Pure Magnesium contains:

• 81% magnesium bisglycinate chelate

• 19% magnesium oxide (buffered)

Magnesium bisglycinate is a chelated form bound to the amino acid glycine, which enhances absorption and reduces gastrointestinal side effects.

A small amount of magnesium oxide is intentionally included to increase the elemental magnesium content without causing the laxative effects often associated with higher doses of magnesium oxide.

Why does Pure Magnesium contain magnesium oxide?

Magnesium oxide has a high elemental magnesium content but is poorly absorbed when used alone.

By using a small, buffered amount, we are able to:

• Increase total elemental magnesium per capsule

• Maintain good bioavailability

• Avoid digestive upset

This formulation allows more magnesium to reach the cells where it is needed.

How much elemental magnesium is in Pure Magnesium?

• 100 mg elemental magnesium per capsule

• 200 mg elemental magnesium per serving (2 capsules)

Elemental magnesium refers to the actual amount of magnesium available for absorption, excluding the weight of the compound it is bound to.

What is the recommended dosage?

Most adults do well starting with:

• 2 capsules per day (200 mg elemental magnesium)

Depending on individual needs, dosage may be increased gradually:

• Up to 400 mg per day (4 capsules) for many healthy adults

We recommend increasing slowly and adjusting based on tolerance.

Can I take more than 200 mg per day?

Yes. Many individuals benefit from higher doses, particularly during periods of stress, muscle tension, headaches, or sleep disruption.

A common approach is to increase until you reach bowel tolerance (looser stools), which signals your body has sufficient magnesium.

Always consult your healthcare provider if you have kidney disease or are taking prescription medications.

Can Pure Magnesium cause digestive upset?

Pure Magnesium is designed to be gentle on digestion. However, some individuals may experience:

• Mild nausea

• Loose stools

• Abdominal discomfort

If this occurs:

• Reduce the dose

• Split doses across the day

• Take with food

What size are the capsules?

Pure Magnesium uses a size “0” capsule, which is a standard medium-sized capsule.

If swallowing capsules is difficult, they may be opened and the contents mixed into water, juice, or soft foods without affecting potency.

Is Pure Magnesium glycinate the same as bisglycinate?

Yes. Magnesium glycinate and magnesium bisglycinate are the same compound.

Both terms refer to magnesium bound to two glycine molecules. The terms are used interchangeably within the supplement industry.

Is Pure Magnesium vegan?

The magnesium itself is vegan.

However, the capsule is made from bovine gelatin, making this product not vegan.

Is Pure Magnesium kosher and halal?

Yes. Pure Magnesium is:

• Kosher

• Halal

The gelatin capsule is derived from bovine (beef) sources that meet kosher and halal standards.

Does Pure Magnesium contain fillers or additives?

Pure Magnesium contains only what is necessary for stability and manufacturing:

• Magnesium bisglycinate chelate

• Magnesium oxide

• Gelatin capsule

• Microcrystalline cellulose (binder)

• L-leucine (flow agent, <1%)

No artificial colors, preservatives, or unnecessary fillers are added.

Does Pure Magnesium contain silicon dioxide?

Yes, trace amounts of silicon dioxide may be present as a technical excipient to prevent clumping and ensure manufacturing consistency.

Silicon dioxide is considered GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by regulatory authorities and is used at extremely low levels.

Is Pure Magnesium tested for heavy metals?

Yes. All batches undergo:

1. Raw ingredient testing

2. Finished product testing

3. Independent third-party testing

Testing includes heavy metals, yeast, mold, and bacteria.

Where is Pure Magnesium made and sourced?

• Manufactured in the United States

• Produced in FDA cGMP, UL-certified, ISO-accredited laboratories

• Magnesium is sourced from Canada

Can I take Pure Magnesium with medications?

Magnesium can bind to certain medications and reduce absorption.

If you are taking:

• Tetracycline antibiotics

• Certain thyroid medications

Separate doses by 2–3 hours.

When in doubt, consult your healthcare provider.

Can I take Pure Magnesium during pregnancy?

Pure Magnesium is generally considered safe during pregnancy and may support muscle relaxation and nervous system health.

However, we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting any supplement while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Can I take Pure Magnesium for stress, sleep, or muscle cramps?

Yes. Magnesium bisglycinate is widely used to support:

• Stress resilience

• Sleep quality

• Muscle relaxation

• Headache reduction

• Nervous system function

Many customers notice benefits within days to weeks of consistent use.

Can I take Pure Magnesium with other magnesium products?

Yes. Some customers combine Pure Magnesium with magnesium citrate powder to support digestion while using bisglycinate for nervous system support.

Be mindful of total daily intake and adjust doses accordingly.

Does Pure Magnesium break a fast?

Pure Magnesium contains no sugars or calories and generally does not break a fast.

However, some individuals prefer taking minerals with food for comfort.

Who should check with a healthcare provider before using Pure Magnesium?

Consult your healthcare provider if you:

• Have kidney disease

• Are taking prescription medications

• Have electrolyte disorders

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
