Ionic Magnesium Liquid is magnesium chloride dissolved in purified water, in drops you add to a glass of water. The magnesium is already in its charged form, so there is no carrier to break down before it is absorbed. Ten drops provide 1.7mg of magnesium. The bottles come in 100ml, 250ml and 500ml. Benefits of taking magnesium Magnesium is a mineral your body uses in more than 300 enzyme systems, from turning food into energy to sending nerve signals and contracting muscles. Taken in water through the day, these drops add a small, adjustable amount to your intake. Energy levels pick up as tiredness and fatigue ease. Muscles contract and relax as they should. Electrolyte balance stays steady. Food gets turned into energy with the magnesium that process needs. Who benefits Ionic Magnesium Liquid is most useful for: People who cannot swallow capsules. Anyone who wants a small, adjustable amount of magnesium in a glass of water through the day. Children and older people, for whom a gentle trace amount suits. Those already taking another magnesium who want a little more in their water. For more magnesium per serving, Ionic Magnesium XS Liquid is about six times stronger.

The magnesium chloride is already dissolved and in its charged form, so nothing has to be broken down before it is absorbed. Drops also let you take a small amount or split it across the day in a way a fixed capsule cannot. How much magnesium is in ten drops? Ten drops give you 1.7mg of magnesium. This is a trace amount to add to your intake, not a replacement for a capsule if you need a lot more. When is the best time to take it? Take it with food at any time of day, or split the ten drops across several glasses of water. Can I take it with other supplements? Yes. It can be taken alongside a capsule such as Magnesium Bisglycinate (Glycinate) Capsules when you want a little more through the day. Magnesium also pairs well with vitamin D, zinc and the B vitamins. Does it have a taste? The taste is mildly mineral, which you will not notice once it is diluted in a full glass of water. Ionic Magnesium or Ionic Magnesium XS, which should I choose? Start here if you want the gentlest amount. Ionic Magnesium XS Liquid gives 10.6mg per ten drops, about six times more, for anyone who wants more per serving.
