Discover LUNARY’s nutritional supplements
We recommend LUNARY’s Magnesium Complex 4, which contains four highly bioavailable and well-tolerated forms: magnesium bisglycinate, magnesium gluconate, trimagnesium dicitrate, and magnesium carbonate.
What you won’t find inside: magnesium oxide – it’s cheap and often used in many products, but unfortunately poorly absorbed and frequently harsh on the stomach.
This complex also includes bioactive vitamin B6, which supports optimal magnesium absorption. Please note: Standard blood tests often don’t reliably show magnesium deficiency, since the body keeps blood levels stable – even when cellular levels are already low.
