What Ocean Magnesium is

The magnesium here is magnesium hydroxide obtained by extraction from sea water, rather than mined or synthesised. Sea water is naturally magnesium-rich, and the mineral is concentrated from it.

What that gives you is density. Two capsules deliver 360.36mg of elemental magnesium — 96% of the daily Nutrient Reference Value — which is a high dose from a small number of capsules. Chelated forms such as bisglycinate carry more compound weight per unit of magnesium, so reaching the same figure takes considerably more capsules.

Ocean Magnesium or Bisglycinate?

One Nutrition makes two pure magnesium supplements. They are different minerals for different people.

This one — Ocean Magnesium. Magnesium hydroxide from sea water. High elemental dose, few capsules, 96% NRV from a two-capsule serving. 60 capsules.

Pure Magnesium Bisglycinate. Magnesium chelated to glycine. A lower dose per capsule, and the form usually chosen by people who have found other magnesium supplements hard on their digestion. 90 capsules.

How to take it

Two capsules daily, delivering 360.36mg of magnesium — 96% of the Nutrient Reference Value.

This is a high daily amount and may cause mild stomach upset in sensitive individuals. If you are new to magnesium, consider starting with one capsule. Take account of any other magnesium in your multivitamin or other supplements before adding this one.

Common questions

How is magnesium extracted from sea water?
Sea water contains dissolved magnesium salts. The magnesium is concentrated and precipitated out as magnesium hydroxide, then dried. It isn't mined and isn't synthesised in a laboratory.

Why is the dose so much higher than the bisglycinate?
Magnesium hydroxide is a compact compound — a high proportion of its weight is magnesium itself. Chelated forms like bisglycinate bind magnesium to a much larger molecule, so more of the capsule is the carrier and less is magnesium.

Will it upset my stomach?
It may, at this dose, in sensitive individuals. Magnesium has a laxative effect at higher intakes. Starting with one capsule and building up is sensible.

Does it taste of the sea?
No. It's an encapsulated powder.

How long does a jar last?
60 capsules — 30 days at two a day.
