Life Elements

Through our own personal struggle to find a high-quality magnesium supplement, we became increasingly frustrated with products that either used poorly absorbed forms, contained unnecessary fillers, or simply didn’t deliver noticeable results.

Rather than settling for something we weren’t confident in, we chose to focus solely on designing a magnesium supplement that met our own standards one we would genuinely use daily and feel comfortable sharing with friends and family.

Every decision in the formulation was guided by practicality, effectiveness, and trust, resulting in a product created from real experience rather than marketing trends.

Our magnesium is labelled using the elemental yield of magnesium, because transparency matters.

The term elemental magnesium refers to the actual amount of pure magnesium your body can absorb from a magnesium compound not the total weight of the compound itself. This is the number that truly matters when it comes to effectiveness.

Unfortunately, many supplement companies make this unclear. Labels often list the total compound weight (for example, magnesium oxide, citrate, or glycinate) without clearly stating how much elemental magnesium it actually provides. This can be misleading, as it may appear that you’re getting a higher dose than you really are.

As a result, consumers may believe they’re getting good value or an adequate dose, when in reality they may be receiving far less absorbable magnesium than expected, sometimes in forms that are poorly absorbed or more likely to cause digestive upset.

We’ve chosen to be upfront. Our label clearly states the elemental magnesium content, so you know exactly how much usable magnesium you’re getting in each serving. No confusion, no inflated numbers , just clear information to help you make an informed decision.

because magnesium is involved in so many processes in the body there can be a wide range of symptoms of low magnesium, here are just a some

• Neuromuscular Symptoms
  Muscle cramps or spasms
  Muscle twitching (especially eyelids or calves)
  Numbness or tingling (especially in hands or feet)
  Tremors or shaking
  Muscle weakness
  
• Nervous System Symptoms
  Anxiety or panic attacks
  Irritability or mood swings
  Restlessness
  Brain fog or poor concentration
  Insomnia or difficulty staying asleep
  Sensitivity to noise or light
  
• Cardiovascular Symptoms
  Irregular heartbeat (palpitations or arrhythmia)
  High blood pressure
  Chest tightness (non-cardiac)
  
• Digestive & Metabolic Symptoms
  Constipation
  
  Loss of appetite
  Nausea or vomiting
  Bloating or slow digestion
  
• General Symptoms
  Chronic fatigue or low energy
  Headaches or migraines
  PMS symptoms (cramps, irritability, bloating)
  Increased sensitivity to stress
  Poor exercise recovery
  
• Long-Term Deficiency Risks
  Osteopenia or osteoporosis (weakened bones)
  Increased inflammation
  Insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes
  Increased risk of heart disease

we chose a specific blend of magnesium glycinate and magnesium malate for several reasons. firstly these two forms are well tolerated and absorbed well in the body unlike brands who use magnesium oxide ( which not only has very poor absorption but often leads to stomach upset in individuals ). secondly the wide range of benefits from these two detailed more below

1. Promotes Better Sleep
Glycine has a calming effect on the brain.

Helps regulate melatonin and GABA, promoting deep, restful sleep.

Reduces nighttime awakenings and improves sleep quality.

2. Reduces Anxiety & Supports Mood
Glycine acts as a neurotransmitter that can promote relaxation.

Magnesium supports the nervous system and balances stress hormones like cortisol.

3. Supports Muscle Recovery & Reduces Cramps
Helps muscles relax and contract properly.

Reduces muscle cramps, spasms, and twitching, especially useful for athletes or active individuals.

4. Improves Digestive Regularity
Helps regulate bowel movements, especially if constipation is related to magnesium deficiency.

5. Supports Heart Health
Helps regulate heart rhythm and blood pressure.

May reduce risk of arrhythmias and hypertension by supporting vascular tone.

6. Supports Bone Density
Magnesium works synergistically with calcium and vitamin D to support strong bones.

7. Highly Absorbable & Gentle on the Gut
Unlike magnesium oxide or citrate, glycinate is less likely to cause laxative effects or digestive upset.

Even with a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, it's surprisingly common to fall short on magnesium intake and the reasons go beyond just food choices.

The problem is multi-layered:

• Over the past 80–100 years, modern farming practices particularly the widespread use of NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) fertilizers have gradually stripped the soil of essential trace minerals, including magnesium. As a result, today’s crops contain significantly lower levels of magnesium than those grown in the past, even if they appear just as fresh or vibrant.

• Magnesium is a water-soluble mineral, meaning it isn’t stored efficiently in the body and must be replenished daily. This is especially important for people who are highly active. Through sweat alone, it’s estimated that we can lose up to 70–80% of our body’s magnesium stores, which can quickly lead to deficiency if not addressed.

• Both physical and psychological stress dramatically raise our body’s demand for magnesium often referred to as the "magnesium burn rate." Whether it’s intense training, a demanding job, or ongoing mental pressure, stress depletes magnesium reserves faster than normal, making supplementation even more essential.
  

1. Boosts Energy & Reduces Fatigue
Malic acid helps produce ATP (cellular energy).

Often used by people with chronic fatigue or low energy levels.

Ideal for active individuals, athletes, or those with sluggish metabolism.

2. Supports Muscle Function & Reduces Pain
Helps relieve muscle soreness, tightness, and cramps.

Shown to be helpful in fibromyalgia and chronic pain conditions (when taken in higher doses).

3. Gentle on the Digestive System
Unlike magnesium oxide or citrate, magnesium malate tends to have fewer laxative effects, making it a good option for regular daily use.

4. Supports Nervous System Health
Magnesium plays a central role in nerve conduction, relaxation, and neurotransmitter balance.

Can help calm the nervous system while maintaining alertness (as opposed to glycinate, which is more sedating).

5. Cognitive & Mood Support
May improve mental clarity and focus, especially in people with brain fog or fatigue-related mental dips.

Malic acid helps clear ammonia, a byproduct that can interfere with brain function.

• Stressed or Anxious Individuals
  Magnesium supports the nervous system, regulates cortisol, and promotes GABA activity (calming neurotransmitter).
  
  Helps reduce feelings of anxiety, irritability, and mental tension.
  
• Poor Sleepers
  Magnesium helps relax the body and brain.
  
  Supports deeper, more restorative sleep and reduces nighttime awakenings — especially in forms like magnesium glycinate
  
• Active Individuals / Athletes
  Required for muscle contraction, energy production, and electrolyte balance. Helps reduce cramps, spasms, and soreness, especially in those who sweat a lot.
  
• People with High Blood Pressure or Heart Issues
  Magnesium supports vascular tone and can help lower blood pressure. Essential for normal heart rhythm and cardiovascular health.
  
  
• People with Muscle Pain, Fibromyalgia, or Chronic Fatigue
  Magnesium malate can relieve muscle tightness, chronic pain, and fatigue by improving energy metabolism and muscle recovery.
  
  
• People with Digestive or Absorption Issues
  Those with IBS, Crohn’s, celiac, or leaky gut may have poor magnesium absorption and benefit from supplementation.
  
  
• People with Brain Fog or Low Focus
  Magnesium supports cognitive function, neurotransmitter balance, and mental clarity.

• Women with PMS or Menstrual Cramps
  Can reduce cramps, bloating, and mood swings associated with menstruation.

• Older Adults
  Aging can reduce magnesium absorption. Helps with bone density, sleep, cognition, and reducing inflammation.
  
• People with Diets Low in Magnesium-Rich Foods Especially those who eat a lot of processed foods, sugar, alcohol, or refined grains.
