MagActive®, a next-generation magnesium bisglycinate, is engineered forsuperior potency and absorption - offering up to 35% greater absorptionthan conventional magnesium bisglycinates (Figure 1) and 4-8x times betterabsorbed than magnesium oxide. Its fully chelated structure prevents binding with water molecules and dietary antinutrients such as phytates, ensuring more magnesium reaches the gastrointestinal membrane for absorption while remaining gentle on the gut.

Boosts resilience to stress: An 8-week randomised controlled trial with 268 adults explored the power of magnesium to ease stress. Healthy participants, with normal to extremely severe stress (evaluated using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) -42 stress subscale) and low serum magnesium (0.45–0.85 mmol/L) received 300 mg of elemental magnesium daily.

The intervention led to:
A significant 42.4% reduction in overall stress scores from baseline.
• Individuals with severe or extremely severe stress experienced marked improvements of 74% and 67%.
• Nearly half (47%) of participants achieved a normalised stress response by trial conclusion.
• These findings highlight magnesium’s potential as a clinically effective,
well-tolerated intervention for restoring emotional balance in individuals
experiencing stress.

Promotes muscle relaxation: Magnesium deficiency has been linked to muscle cramps, as magnesium functions as a natural calcium channel blocker, facilitating smooth muscle relaxation.4 In vitro research has also shown that magnesium bisglycinate stimulates the production of nitric oxide(NO)—a critical mediator of muscle relaxation—in myometrial cells.

Notably, this form of magnesium induced significantly higher NO synthesis compared with another form of magnesium. This enhanced NO synthesis supports the role of magnesium bisglycinate as a more effective form for targeting muscle tension.
