I now have an ileostomy so it's I'm wondering how fast does the outside of your capsules dissolve once swallowed? I need to ensure that I am absorbing them and ultimately that they won't cause a blockage. Just wondering should I break the capsules open and add them to something or it's ok as they are? I'm thinking of other products e.g. the magnesium and B6 and lions mane.Hi, each of these capsules is designed to breakdown rapidly, so we would expect them to be fine. This is especially if you find you are ok to take any other supplements or medicines in capsule form. We would only expect issues if the capsules are designed for delayed release, as such items break down much more slowly.
Was considering the offer on the magnesium complex you introduced but noticed that you added 100% RDA of a B vitamin already included the multivit so I guess you don't really want to be taking both especially if getting sources in the diet. Are you able to share any reasoning for this? It doesn't seem to make sense without explanation. Not sure whether I am better off looking for a powder form elsewhere without the extra b vitamin in my case?Hi, Vitamin B6 plays a really important role in helping Magnesium uptake in the body. As B Vitamins and water-based, the body grabs what it needs and the rest passes harmlessly through, so it is commonplace to see supplements containing far more than 100% RDA. We would have no concerns in taking a daily combination of our MultiVit and Magnesium formulas.
How much elemental Magnesium is in the Magnesium Complex? Is it 500mg of Mg, which seems a fairly high dose for a daily supplement, or is it 500mg of MgO and C6H6MgO7? If so, and the ratio was e.g. 50/50, that would be 28mg Mg from citrate, and 151mg Mg from oxide = 179mg total elemental Mg - is that right?Hi, it is 500mg of elemental Magnesium.
Why did you choose to use Magnesium Oxide?The reason we chose to use Magnesium Oxide as part of the complex is that it has very high potency in terms of actual (elemental) Magnesium. Superior forms such as Magnesium Citrate are quite dilute in actual elemental Magnesium. That means to get a high level of actual Magnesium in the formula, we need such a combination, otherwise the capsules would be too big. Magnesium Citrate improves the bioavailability of the full formula, so enhances the performance of Magnesium Oxide.
How soon will I see the benefits of Magnesium Complex?The time it takes to see benefits from Magnesium Complex can vary. For general support of muscle relaxation, energy production, or stress relief, many people report feeling improvements within a few days to a week. However, if you're addressing a deficiency, it may take a few weeks to notice significant changes, as the body needs time to adjust and replenish magnesium levels.
