frequently.asked.questions.
How is it best to take Well.Actually. Magnesium Liquid?
Take 5 to 10ml per day 100- 200mg magnesium (1 to 2 teaspoons) mixed with water to create a delicious lime drink or added to a water bottle or smoothie, juice, etc.
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. Its such a great way to take various vitamins and minerals by mixing them. You can mix them into a small glass and add a bit off water to shot, or into a larger glass and turn it in to a flavoured water drink. You can also mix into your sports water bottle or juice or 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 stools or diarrhoea.
Liposomal Magnesium in Bisglycinate form is much more tolerated and because it is rapidly absorbed and used by the body, 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:
300 mg per day for adult males
270 mg per day for adult women
280-300 mg 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 health professional, or are on medication or breast feeding, then we recommend consulting 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 its 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 intestinal mucosa, helping reduce any side effects.
TARGETED DELIVERY - Liposomes stay longer in the blood system and bind with cell membrane walls, allowing for efficient, targeted delivery into the cells for optimum 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.
