Element 12 Magnesium

What forms of magnesium are in Element 12?

Element 12 contains three different forms of magnesium (magnesium citrate, magnesium amino acid chelate and magnesium glycinate). All of which have been selected specifically as they offer excellent absorption and bioavailability, meaning the body can easily utilise the magnesium provided. Furthermore, these forms are gentle on the stomach.

Some magnesium supplements offer seemingly higher amounts of magnesium, and may include magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide. However, these forms have poor bioavailability which means less magnesium is absorbed into the body compared to the forms used in Element 12 Magnesium. You can learn more about the types of magnesium in Element 12 below.

Why is Element 12 more than just a standard magnesium?

1. 1) Element 12 contains three forms of highly absorbable and bioavailable magnesium.
2. 2) Contains active B vitamins to further aid absorption.
3. 3) Gentle on the stomach.
4. 4) Contains essential nutrients such as folic acid, zinc and selenium to support immune health, antioxidant defense, wound healing and more.
5. 5) Premium formula which does not contain fillers or binders.

Why should I supplement with Element 12 Magnesium?

Magnesium is present in over 300 biological functions supporting many aspects of bodily function. Many choose high-quality magnesium supplements to contribute to normal sleep, muscle recovery from exercise, heart function, healthy nerve function and more. Additionally, Element 12 works well with other supplements in the About Health range such as Lester's Oil and Res-V Ultimate to further support your health.

Element 12 pills specifically offer superior absorption due to the active B vitamins, B12, pyridoxine, thiamine, and folic acid that it contains. Without sufficient levels of these vitamins, your body may struggle to absorb magnesium effectively. Since Element 12 contains these ingredients in one convenient capsule, you can ensure your body optimally absorbs and utilizes magnesium for its many vital functions.

Why are active B vitamins important to take with magnesium?

Element 12 Magnesium contains active B-group vitamins to further assist in the absorption and utilization of magnesium in the body (backed by research). The reason that active B vitamins are used is because many people are not able to efficiently process B vitamins into their metabolically active form, which means that not everyone will get the most benefit out of standard B vitamins. Activate B vitamins are biologically active in the body and generally do not require any metabolic or enzymatic conversion before they can be used.

The bottom line is that when supplementing with magnesium, ingesting activated forms may help support better bioavailability, allowing your body to make the most of the B vitamins you take. This takes pressure of the body's enzymatic pathways and frees up those resource that may be used elsewhere.
