01

Why supplement?

✓

Gluconate

Magnesium gluconate is an organic gluconate salt. Taste and gut tolerance are usually milder than the sulfate, and the elemental fraction is lower. The use is the known physiology of magnesium.

✓

ATP and neuromuscular function

Magnesium gluconate is a source of magnesium. Magnesium stabilizes ATP phosphate groups and helps muscles relax. This salt supplies elemental magnesium; oxide and organic salts differ sharply in absorption and laxative effect.

How to take it

With foodMost forms cause less stomach upset with a meal or after eating. Some forms absorb better on an empty stomach; if that bothers you, switch to taking it with food (not on an empty stomach)
Best timeMorning or midday; if it helps sleep or relaxation, you may switch to after dinner through bedtime

Liquid volume is not the elemental magnesium dose; use the amount listed per serving.

General wellnessUse the labeled elemental magnesium; a typical starting point is 100–200 mg elemental magnesium per day.
Specific needsFrom supplements, the typical adult daily safety upper limit is about 350 mg elemental magnesium; sleep or muscle goals often use 200–350 mg, and do not exceed this on your own long term.

How oftenCan be used according to daily need; count magnesium from other products.

03
