Mega Magnesium

What is Mega Magnesium?

Ethical Nutrients Mega Magnesium contains the exclusive, advanced form of magnesium, Meta Mag®

Magnesium diglycinate, with clinically proven enhanced bioavailability over numerous other forms of magnesium including citrate, oxide, gluconate, orotate, chloride and sulfate.

Magnesium is used in over300 essential enzymatic

reactions and for every major biological function.

How does Mega Magnesium work?

Ethical Nutrients Mega Magnesium contains exclusive Meta Mag®

magnesium diglycinate, a highly available form of magnesium absorbed largely as an intact

dipeptide in the upper small intestine.

This offers greater bioavailability and tolerability compared to other forms

of magnesium, such as oxide, sulfate and chloride. In fact, Meta Mag® has been shown to be eight times more

highly absorbed than magnesium oxide.
