NOW Foods Liquid Magnesium 8 fl oz

NOW® Liquid Magnesium with Trace Minerals is a natural mineral concentrate sourced from the Great Salt Lake using a proprietary solar-evaporation process that removes about 99% of the naturally occurring sodium while preserving 72 trace minerals in their bioavailable ionic forms. Each serving provides 125 mg of elemental magnesium (400 mg across three servings).* Magnesium is a required cofactor for an estimated 300 enzymes, driving reactions that include energy production and metabolism, protein and fatty-acid synthesis, and glucose metabolism.* It is also essential for muscle contraction, nerve-impulse transmission and healthy bone mineralization, and it helps regulate the body's calcium balance through its effect on the parathyroid gland.* Because it is a highly concentrated, unflavored liquid with a strong taste, it is meant to be mixed into juice or food — giving you a flexible, dropper-free way to add ionic magnesium and trace minerals to your day.*

About the key ingredients

• Magnesium (elemental, from Trace Mineral Concentrate) – 125 mg: Ionic magnesium concentrated from Great Salt Lake brine, delivered alongside a full spectrum of naturally occurring trace minerals in their bioavailable ionic form.* Learn more about Magnesium from the NIH.

Who it's for

Liquid Magnesium suits people who prefer a mixable liquid over pills and who like the idea of ionic magnesium delivered alongside a broad spectrum of naturally occurring trace minerals.* It is a good fit for those who sweat heavily, follow active lifestyles, or simply want a flexible way to add magnesium and electrolyte-supporting minerals to water, juice or food.* Because the concentrate has a strong natural taste, it works best blended into a flavored beverage.*

Suggested use

Shake well before use. This product is highly concentrated with nothing added and has a very strong taste. Take 1/4 teaspoon (1.23 mL) 3 times daily mixed with juice or food to mask the concentrated mineral flavor. Store in a cool, dry, dark place after opening.

Frequently asked questions

What makes magnesium ionic liquid a good choice?
This is ionic magnesium in liquid form, harvested from the mineral-rich Great Salt Lake and concentrated so it carries 72 naturally occurring trace minerals along with the magnesium.*

What does magnesium actually do in the body?
Magnesium is one of the most widely used minerals in human physiology. It acts as a cofactor for roughly 300 enzymes involved in producing cellular energy, building protein, and metabolizing carbohydrates and fats, and it supports normal muscle, nerve, heart and bone function.* Many modern diets fall short of the recommended intake.

When and how should I take it?
Most people take magnesium daily with food, and some prefer an evening dose as part of a wind-down routine. Follow the serving size on the label or the guidance of your healthcare provider, and if you are new to magnesium, starting with a lower amount lets your digestive system adjust.

Is this product vegetarian and free of common allergens?
NOW® magnesium products are made without wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish and shellfish ingredients, and most use a plant-based vegetarian capsule or coating. Check the Supplement Facts panel for the exact form and any product-specific certifications such as Kosher, Vegan or Non-GMO.

Cautions & interactions

This product is highly concentrated and must be mixed into juice or food because of its strong taste. Talk to your doctor before combining magnesium with prescription medicines, since it can affect the absorption of certain antibiotics and bisphosphonates (separate by a few hours) and may add to some blood-pressure or diuretic medications. Larger amounts of magnesium can loosen stools, so build up gradually. If you have reduced kidney function, use only under medical supervision. Keep out of reach of children and consult your physician if pregnant, nursing or managing a medical condition.
