Because glycinate on its own is one form doing one job. Your body uses magnesium in muscle, nerve and cell energy — different forms reach different places. Magnavia is all eight at a full 1000mg, so you're not betting the whole serving on one source.

It's built around gentle bisglycinate rather than the citrate/oxide load that sends people to the loo, and it's taken with your evening meal. That combination is what makes the difference for people magnesium has upset before.

Yes — two standard-size veggie capsules, not the ‘horse pills’ you have to snap in half. Most people take both together with dinner.

Be realistic and you'll be happier: week one usually feels like nothing. Most people say weeks three to four is when they noticed. That's why the guarantee is 60 days, not 14.

Magnavia is a food supplement, not a medicine. If you take prescription medication — including levothyroxine, which is best taken 4 hours apart from any mineral — check with your GP or pharmacist first. Do not exceed the stated dose.

Eight forms of elemental magnesium totalling 1000mg per two-capsule serving (238% NRV): magnesium oxide, glycinate, malate, taurate, citrate, carbonate, aspartate and orotate. Other ingredients: hypromellose (vegetable capsule), magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide and microcrystalline cellulose. Non-GMO, third-party lab tested, GMP-certified facility.

They're standard-size veggie capsules, and it's two a day rather than three or four. This comes up constantly with magnesium — the 'horse pill' problem is the single most common reason people quietly stop taking it. If swallowing tablets is a struggle, this was designed with that in mind.

Yes — the capsule is hypromellose, a plant-based cellulose shell, so it's suitable for vegans and vegetarians. There's no gelatin, no marine ingredients and no artificial colours. The full ingredient list is printed on every bottle; if you have a specific allergy, check it against the label before you order.

Magnavia is a food supplement, not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the stated dose of two capsules per day. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition or take medication — thyroid, blood-pressure or heart medication in particular — speak to your GP or pharmacist before use. Keep out of reach of children.

Evening, with food, is what we suggest and what most people settle into. It makes the habit easy to remember and takes the edge off any stomach sensitivity. There's no rule against the morning if that suits your routine better — consistency matters far more than the hour.
