About, ingredients & important information
Focused magnesium support, without the clutter.
IPS Magnesium is a single-ingredient complementary medicine: magnesium, delivered as a magnesium creatinine amino acid chelate, and nothing else. It’s a source of magnesium for the maintenance of good health — magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and to the maintenance of normal muscle function. Taken as 2 capsules at night, with a full glass of water.
Why these ingredients
- An essential mineral — magnesium makes up around 99% of the body’s total mineral content, and the body needs it in relatively large amounts.
- Without it, the body can’t produce or use energy properly, muscles can’t contract and relax normally, and key hormones can’t be synthesised.
- Chelated to an amino acid (creatinine) to support absorption; the quantity per capsule isn’t intended to influence muscle mass.
- Contributes to the maintenance of muscle function (including the heart muscle), normal bones and teeth, and tissue formation. Helps maintain normal electrolyte balance and supports the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
- You may be more likely to fall short of magnesium if you have a gastrointestinal condition that affects absorption, have type 2 diabetes (which can increase urinary magnesium loss), or are an older adult, since absorption from the gut tends to decrease with age. (General information, not a diagnosis — speak to your doctor if any of this applies to you.)
This might be for you if…
- You want a single-ingredient magnesium supplement, not a “sleep and calm” blend with a dozen other actives.
- You’re looking for magnesium chelated to an amino acid, taken as part of a night-time routine.
- You’re 18 or older.
