How is it best to take Well.Actually. Magnesium Liquid?
Take 5 to 10ml per day 80 - 160mg magnesium (1 to 2 teaspoons) mixed with water to create a delicious lime drink or added to a water bottle, a glass of juice, or a smoothie.
Mix with 100-150ml water equivalent to 3/4 of a small glass of water.
Can be taken straight from the spoon however it has a stronger taste.
Take on an empty stomach at any time of the day. If taking for sleep benefits, consume 2 hours before you go to bed.
What does your Liposomal Magnesium taste like?
Our liposomal Magnesium, when mixed in 100- 150ml of water, tastes like a Lime flavoured mineral water. You take it straight from the spoon however, it will have a strong magnesium taste, combined with the natural lime flavour.
Can I mix my Liposomal Magnesium with another liposomal Product?
Absolutely, and we would definitely recommend it. It is such a great way to take various vitamins and minerals by mixing them together.
You can mix them into a small glass and add a bit of water as a shot, or into a larger glass and turn it into a flavoured water drink. You can also mix it into your sports water bottle, glass of juice, or your go-to smoothie.
Are there any side affects with Liposomal Magnesium?
Magnesium is an extremely safe supplement and is well tolerated by most adults as long as it is not taken in super high doses. Taking too much may result in loose stool or diarrhoea.
Liposomal Magnesium in Bisglycinate form is much more tolerable for the body, especially as it is rapidly absorbed and used by the body, so it is far less likely to cause any side effects.
We always advise checking how much Magnesium you obtain from foods and supplements and staying within 500mg a day.
The recommended daily intake:
- 300mg per day for adult males
- 270mg per day for adult women
- 280-300mg per day for adolescents
- 60mg per day for babies up to 6 months
If you are taking other dietary supplements under the direction of a healthcare professional, or taking medication, pregnant, or breastfeeding, then we recommend consulting with them before using Well.Actually. Liposomal Magnesium.
Why is Liposomal Magnesium Bisglycinate better VS standard form Magnesium?
Since Magnesium is an insoluble mineral on its own (as a mineral element), it must be paired with another compound to make the mineral more soluble for the body to absorb. Several different organic and inorganic compounds can be used, each providing different absorption levels. For example, the most common form, Oxide, an inorganic compound, results in less than 4% absorption with 96% being eliminated. People mainly take this type of Magnesium to help with constipation.
Well.Actually. chooses Magnesium Bisglycinate, where Magnesium is bound to two organic glycine amino acid compounds. This increases the bioavailability and effectiveness and is gentler on the bowel. However, despite its higher absorption potential of 30-50%, many factors can reduce absorption to below these levels. It's for this reason that we also wrap our Magnesium in Liposomes. Liposomes increase Magnesium absorption and bioavailability in several ways:
PROTECTION - Encapsulating Magnesium within Liposomes enables it to pass through the stomach and intestinal environment without interacting with dietary compounds, medications, or digestive factors that can affect absorption.
ABSORPTION EFFICIENCY - All Liposome absorption occurs through the lymphatic system, one of the most direct and efficient nutrient delivery routes into the body. For the non-encapsulated Magnesium (approx. 30%) will be absorbed through normal transport routes.
SAFER - It helps prevent the direct interaction of Magnesium with the internal mucosa, helping reduce any side effects.
TARGETTED DELIVERY - Liposomes stay longer in the blood system and bind with cell membrane walls, allowing for efficient, targeted delivery into the cells for optimal bioavailability.
Does Liposomal Magnesium Bisglycinate need to be refrigerated?
We recommend our Liposomal Magnesium Bisglycinate is stored at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. However, you can refrigerate it if it’s preferred.
