How To Take Ultimate 8 Magnesium Complex

Methods:

To take Ultimate 8 Magnesium Complex is quite simple - you can:

  • Swallow the capsules with water.
  • Take it with food if you experience any gastrointestinal discomfort.
  • For those who prefer powder, capsules can be opened and mixed in a meal or drink. 

Dosage: 

We suggest you start with a 500mg serving of two capsules. Many people take more than this, as magnesium has been shown to be safe for doses up to 2 grams (2,000mg). 

Note: Consider personal goals and consult a healthcare professional when deciding on dosage.

Supplements To Pair With: 

Taking Pure Ultimate 8 Magnesium Complex with Calcium may enhance overall mineral absorption and bone health.

Additionally, taking with Vitamin B6, Zinc and Vitamin K2 may further support various aspects of health, such as improved cellular uptake of magnesium, immune function, cardiovascular health and electrolyte balance .

We therefore recommend pairing Ultimate Magnesium 8 with our Longevity Stack Supergreens as it contains all of the vitamins/nutrients/elements listed above (along with dozens more that support overall health).

When To Take: 

We recommend taking our magnesium formula in the morning with food and/or a glass of water to maximise absorption (and get the highest strength magnesium intake). That said, many people take magnesium at night as it can have a calming effect and help improve sleep quality.
