Why magnesium lactate?
What is magnesium lactate?
Magnesium lactate is a form of magnesium bound to lactic acid, a naturally occurring compound found in your body and in many foods. Magnesium lactate is easier to absorb than inorganic forms used in many magnesium supplements, like magnesium oxide.
Magnesium oxide passes through your gut largely unused and can cause digestive discomfort in the process. Magnesium lactate is absorbed twice as effectively and is gentle on the stomach, even an empty stomach.
What it does
Once absorbed, magnesium goes to work across the body in hundreds of ways. It contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism – helping your body convert food into fuel – and plays a direct role in reducing tiredness and fatigue. It supports normal muscle function (including the heart), a healthy nervous system, and the maintenance of bones and teeth.
Magnesium also supports normal psychological function – which is why many people notice improvements in mood and mental clarity alongside the physical benefits. The extra vitamin B6 in Magnesium+ works alongside magnesium to support these same systems.
Why it matters at this dose
At 56.25mg per capsule (15% of the recommended daily intake), Magnesium+ is designed to top up what your diet is missing rather than replace it. For most people in the UK, that modest, consistent daily top-up is enough to make a noticeable difference - particularly if fatigue, muscle discomfort or disrupted sleep are things you notice regularly. One capsule a day, at a time that suits you.
Looking for a higher dose?
Magnesium+ Advanced uses a more bioavailable form of magnesium – up to 4 times more absorbable – at 187mg per serving. Find out which is right for you.

"An easy way to top up your magnesium levels, with a gentle-on-the-stomach formulation."
Ingredient Highlights
Not all magnesium supplements are the same. Magnesium+ uses magnesium lactate – a form of magnesium bound to lactic acid, a compound naturally found in the body. This makes it significantly easier to absorb than the basic magnesium oxide used in standard supplements, which often passes through the gut largely unused.
Magnesium lactate is twice as bioavailable, meaning more of each dose actually reaches your cells – and because it's so well tolerated by the gut, you get the full benefit without any digestive discomfort.
Magnesium+ includes vitamin B6 at 100% of the recommended daily intake. B6 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism – helping your body convert food into usable fuel – and supports normal psychological function and nervous system health. It works naturally alongside magnesium, which is involved in the same energy and nervous system pathways, making the two a logical and well-established combination for everyday fatigue and muscle support.

FAQs
What is magnesium lactate and why is it used in Magnesium+?
Magnesium lactate is a form of magnesium bound to lactic acid, a naturally occurring compound found in your body and in many foods. This binding makes it significantly easier for the body to absorb than standard magnesium oxide, the cheap form used in most basic supplements. Research shows magnesium lactate is twice as bioavailable as magnesium oxide. It is also gentle on the stomach, reducing the digestive discomfort that can occur with poorly absorbed magnesium. Magnesium+ uses magnesium lactate alongside vitamin B6 for a straightforward, well-tolerated daily supplement.
What are the benefits of magnesium lactate?
Magnesium lactate delivers the same benefits as other well-absorbed magnesium forms – supporting normal energy-yielding metabolism, contributing to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and maintaining normal muscle and nerve function. The advantage of the lactate form specifically is its tolerability and absorption profile. It is well suited for daily supplementation at a moderate dose (56.25mg elemental magnesium per capsule), making it a good entry-level or maintenance option for people looking to top up their magnesium levels consistently without digestive side effects.
What is the difference between Magnesium+ and Magnesium+ Advanced?
Both supplements support energy, muscle function and overall wellbeing, but they differ in form, dose and absorption. Magnesium+ uses magnesium lactate – twice as absorbable as magnesium oxide – providing 56.25mg of elemental magnesium per capsule with vitamin B6. It’s best for mood and energy. Magnesium+ Advanced uses Albion™ TRAACS™ magnesium bisglycinate buffered – up to 4 times more absorbable than magnesium oxide – providing 187.5mg per serving with vitamins B1, B2 and B6. It is best for sleep and energy. If you want a higher dose with superior absorption and longer retention, Magnesium+ Advanced is the step up.
Does magnesium help with sleep?
Magnesium plays a role in supporting the nervous system and the regulation of neurotransmitters involved in relaxation and sleep. Many people find that consistent magnesium supplementation improves sleep quality, particularly if their levels are low – which is common in the UK. Magnesium+ provides 56.25mg of highly bioavailable magnesium lactate per capsule alongside vitamin B6, which contributes to normal psychological function. For more targeted sleep support at a higher dose, Magnesium+ Advanced or Serene+ (which also contains Affron® saffron) may be worth considering.
Is magnesium lactate better than magnesium glycinate?
Both magnesium lactate and magnesium glycinate (bisglycinate) are well-absorbed, gentle forms of magnesium – significantly better than magnesium oxide. Magnesium bisglycinate, particularly in the Albion™ TRAACS™ form used in Magnesium+ Advanced, is generally considered to offer superior bioavailability (up to 4x vs magnesium oxide, compared to 2x for lactate) and longer retention in the body. Magnesium lactate in Magnesium+ is an excellent, well-tolerated daily option for maintaining levels; bisglycinate in Magnesium+ Advanced is the better choice for those who want the maximum dose and absorption.
How much magnesium is in Magnesium+?
Each capsule of Magnesium+ provides 56.25mg of elemental magnesium (15% of the Nutrient Reference Value, or NRV) from 574.9mg of magnesium lactate, plus 1.4mg of vitamin B6 (100% NRV). One capsule per day is the recommended dose, taken morning or evening with or without food.
Is Magnesium+ suitable for vegans?
Yes. Magnesium+ is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The capsule shell is Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), a plant-derived material. The formulation is also gluten-free and lactose-free.
When is the best time to take Magnesium+?
Magnesium+ can be taken at any time of day, morning or evening, with or without food. Some people prefer to take it in the evening as magnesium supports relaxation and normal nervous system function, which can contribute to better sleep quality. Consistency matters more than timing – taking it at the same time each day helps build and maintain optimal magnesium levels.

When will I feel the benefits?
Topping up your levels
Magnesium lactate begins absorbing efficiently into your bloodstream – twice as effectively as standard magnesium oxide. If your levels were low (as they are for many UK adults), you may start to notice subtle early improvements within the first few weeks. Energy levels are often the first thing people notice, with less of that persistent tiredness that can be hard to explain. Vitamin B6 is also beginning to support normal psychological function and nervous system health.
When will I feel the benefits?
Feeling the difference
As magnesium levels build and stabilise, the results become more consistent day to day. Reduced tiredness and fatigue, better muscle comfort – particularly after exercise – and improved mood are often reported after six to eight weeks. Some people notice their sleep quality improving during this period, with a greater sense of waking refreshed. The gentle, lactate-based formula means this happens without any digestive disruption.
When will I feel the benefits?
Sustained wellbeing
With magnesium levels now consistently maintained, the longer-term benefits of this essential mineral become your routine. Normal bone and teeth maintenance, sustained nervous system support, and steady energy throughout the day are all supported by consistent supplementation. Magnesium contributes to over 300 enzymatic processes in the body, and keeping levels topped up means all of these systems have what they need to function normally.
