Top Nurex Magnesium Complex Ultra | Dual-Form Mg

Magnesium is the fourth most abundant cation in the human body and a critical cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that regulate everything from energy production and muscle function to blood pressure and bone formation. Yet emerging evidence confirms that nearly two-thirds of the Western population falls short of the recommended daily allowance — a widespread gap that may contribute to cardiovascular, neurological, and skeletal concerns.

The top nurex Magnesium Complex ultra — Nature's Sunshine Magnesium Complex (Stock #1859-8) — addresses this gap by combining two highly soluble organic forms of Magnesium: Magnesium citrate and Magnesium malate. Organic Magnesium salts like citrate and malate are chelated to organic acid molecules, giving them generally higher solubility and bioavailability compared to inorganic forms such as Magnesium oxide. In fact, research shows Magnesium citrate has high solubility even in water (55%) and is substantially more soluble than Magnesium oxide in all states of acid secretion.

Each two-capsule serving delivers 184 mg of Magnesium, formulated to support the cardiovascular system, brain and kidney functions, and bone health. The 100-capsule bottle is designed for daily use, and if you have questions about whether this formula is right for your situation, our naturopath is available for a free consultation.

Not all Magnesium supplements are created equal. The form of Magnesium determines how well it dissolves and how efficiently your body can absorb it. This top nurex Magnesium Complex ultra pairs two complementary organic forms for optimum effectiveness.

Magnesium Citrate

Magnesium citrate is one of the most bioavailable supplemental forms available. Studies show it achieves 55% solubility in water alone and remains substantially more soluble than inorganic alternatives across varying levels of stomach acid. This high solubility translates to efficient absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.

Magnesium Malate

Magnesium malate is another organic form in which Magnesium is chelated to malic acid. Like citrate, organic Magnesium salts such as malate are generally more soluble and have higher bioavailability than inorganic counterparts. By combining two organic forms, this formula helps ensure your body has the best opportunity to absorb and utilize the Magnesium it needs.

Once absorbed, the Mg²⁺ ion serves as an indispensable cofactor across the body — from ATP synthesis and ion transport to bone metabolism, neuronal signaling, and inflammatory modulation.

Given that an estimated 56–68% of Americans do not obtain enough Magnesium daily to meet the recommended dietary allowance, a broad range of adults may benefit from supplementation. The top nurex Magnesium Complex ultra may be especially relevant for:

• Adults concerned about heart health — Research suggests higher Magnesium levels are inversely associated with risks of coronary heart disease, stroke, and total cardiovascular disease. The FDA approved a qualified health claim in 2022 noting that adequate Magnesium may reduce the risk of hypertension, though it characterizes the evidence as inconsistent and inconclusive.
• Those supporting bone density — Magnesium is involved in bone formation, influences osteoblast and osteoclast activity, and is required for vitamin D activation. People with higher Magnesium levels may have higher bone mineral density.
• Individuals seeking nervous system support — Magnesium modulates neuronal excitability through NMDA receptor blockade and voltage-gated calcium antagonism, supporting normal nerve function.
• Older adults — As we age, Magnesium absorption and retention can decrease, and older adults are more susceptible to deficiency due to decreased dietary absorption, increased medication use (such as diuretics), and potential dietary restrictions.
• People taking certain medications — Loop and thiazide diuretics, proton pump inhibitors, and other medications can deplete Magnesium stores over time.

If you're unsure whether Magnesium supplementation fits your health goals, our naturopath is happy to help — free of charge.

Take 2 capsules twice daily with a meal.

Each bottle contains 100 capsules. Taking this supplement with food supports absorption and may help minimize occasional stomach-related side effects, which are the most common issues associated with Magnesium supplements. These side effects — such as softening of stool, nausea, or cramping — tend to occur at higher doses and are more common with inorganic forms of Magnesium. The organic citrate and malate forms in this complex are designed for high solubility and gentle absorption.

Important safety note: Magnesium supplements may interact with certain medications. If you take bisphosphonates (such as alendronate), separate intake by at least 2 hours. If you take tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics, the antibiotic should be taken at least 2 hours before or 4–6 hours after Magnesium. Magnesium may also reduce the absorption of gabapentin. Always consult your healthcare provider if you are on medication or have impaired kidney function.
