True Nutra Magnesium Complex | Heart, Nerve & Bone

Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in your body, yet an estimated 56–68% of Americans fall short of the recommended daily allowance. That gap matters, because Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that regulate everything from energy production and blood pressure to nerve signaling and bone formation.

Nature's Sunshine Magnesium Complex addresses that shortfall with two highly soluble organic forms of Magnesium — citrate and malate — combined in a single capsule for optimum effectiveness. Two capsules deliver 184 mg of Magnesium specifically chosen to support the cardiovascular system, brain, kidneys, and skeletal structure.

If you're wondering whether a true nutra Magnesium Complex is right for your health goals, our naturopath is available for a free consultation to help you sort through the options.

Not all Magnesium supplements are absorbed equally. Organic forms such as Magnesium citrate and Magnesium malate are chelated to organic acids, making them generally more soluble and more bioavailable than inorganic forms like Magnesium oxide. Research confirms that Magnesium citrate has high solubility even in water (55%) and is substantially more soluble than Magnesium oxide across all states of acid secretion.

By pairing citrate and malate together, this true nutra Magnesium Complex offers two complementary pathways of absorption. The Mg²⁺ ion delivered by both forms is the same essential mineral your body uses to synthesize ATP, regulate ion transport across cell membranes, modulate NMDA receptor activity in neurons, and influence osteoblast and osteoclast activity in bone.

Because the formula uses organic salts rather than inorganic ones, gastrointestinal side effects — the most common complaint with Magnesium supplements — tend to be less frequent.

This true nutra Magnesium Complex is formulated broadly, but certain groups may find it especially relevant. Older adults are more susceptible to Magnesium deficiency due to decreased absorption from food, increased medication use (some diuretics can deplete Magnesium), and potential dietary restrictions.

Individuals with type 2 diabetes, those with gastrointestinal disorders that impair mineral absorption, people with alcohol dependence, and anyone on long-term proton pump inhibitors or loop and thiazide diuretics are also at elevated risk of Magnesium inadequacy.

People focused on cardiovascular wellness, bone density maintenance, or nervous system support may benefit from the highly soluble citrate and malate forms in this formula. Early signs of deficiency — fatigue, weakness, muscle cramps, and loss of appetite — are common enough to go unnoticed, yet addressing them can make a meaningful difference in how you feel day to day.

If you take prescription medications, it's worth noting that Magnesium can interact with bisphosphonates, tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics, certain diuretics, proton pump inhibitors, and gabapentin. Our naturopath can help you understand whether this supplement fits with your current routine.

Take 2 capsules twice daily with a meal. Each bottle contains 100 capsules.

Magnesium supplements may cause mild gastrointestinal effects such as softening of stool, nausea, or cramping, though these side effects are more common with inorganic forms like Magnesium oxide and at higher doses. The organic citrate and malate forms in this product are generally better tolerated.

The Recommended Dietary Allowance for Magnesium is 400–420 mg/day for adult men and 310–320 mg/day for adult women. The Tolerable Upper Intake Level from supplements is 350 mg. Those amounts reflect supplemental Magnesium only — Magnesium from food does not count toward the UL, because kidneys efficiently excrete dietary excess.
