WHY MAGNESIUM MATTERS

Your body can't make magnesium. And most people don't get enough.

Magnesium is needed for over 300 processes in the body โ€” making energy, relaxing muscles, calming nerves, building bone and controlling blood sugar. Stress, sweat, diuretics, acid-reducers and a diet low in nuts, seeds and greens all drain it. And because the body keeps blood levels steady by pulling from bone, a "normal" blood test does not rule out deficiency. If you recognise any of these, low magnesium may be the reason:

Trouble falling asleep, or waking in the night
Muscle cramps, twitches or restless legs
Feeling anxious, tense or irritable
Tiredness and low energy
Headaches or migraines
Blood pressure or blood sugar that's creeping up

Did you know? Magnesium is named after Magnesia, an ancient region of Greece where its minerals were first found. The body has never learned to make it โ€” it must come entirely from food or supplements, which is why the form you choose makes all the difference.

Why most magnesium supplements fall short

1
Wrong form โ€” poorly absorbed

Magnesium oxide, the cheapest and most common form, is only about 4% absorbed. The rest passes straight through. Glycinate is absorbed through amino acid channels, reaching around 80%.

2
Laxative effect

Unabsorbed magnesium pulls water into the bowel โ€” which is why oxide and citrate cause loose stools. Glycinate is absorbed higher up in the gut, so there is nothing left to cause upset.

3
Misleading numbers

Some labels quote the weight of the whole compound, not the actual mineral. Draxer states both: 1,100mg magnesium glycinate delivers 242mg of elemental magnesium โ€” 78% of your daily need โ€” plus 10mg of elemental zinc, a full 100%.

HOW DRAXER'S MAGNESIUM WORKS
Two minerals. Four systems supported.

Magnesium and zinc are partners โ€” both needed for bone, immunity, hormones and recovery. Together, they cover the four areas where people feel deficiency most.

๐Ÿงฌ

Magnesium switches the nervous system into rest mode and helps regulate melatonin. Glycine, its carrier, is itself a calming messenger in the brain โ€” which is why bedtime dosing works so well.

๐ŸŒฟ

Calcium makes muscles contract; magnesium lets them relax. Without enough, muscles cramp, twitch and stay tight. Magnesium also speeds recovery after exercise.

Magnesium 242mg
๐Ÿง 

Around 60% of your magnesium lives in bone, where it activates vitamin D and helps place calcium. It also relaxes artery walls, supporting healthy blood pressure and steady heart rhythm.

๐Ÿซ™

Zinc is essential for immune defence, wound healing, skin and hair, and for testosterone and reproductive hormones. Magnesium supports insulin and blood sugar control.

Who This Is For
Is Draxer's Magnesium right for you?

Magnesium glycinate is one of the most broadly useful supplements there is โ€” but these are the people most likely to notice a real difference. If you recognise yourself below, this formula was made with you in mind.

01

Poor Sleepers

Trouble falling asleep, waking in the night, or sleep that doesn't refresh. Magnesium and glycine together calm the nervous system and support the body's own sleep hormones โ€” many people notice a difference within the first two weeks.

MOST COMMON
02

Stress, Tension & Low Mood

Chronic stress burns through magnesium quickly, and low magnesium makes you feel more stressed โ€” a vicious cycle. Restoring levels is linked with lower anxiety scores and steadier mood.

NERVOUS SYSTEM
03

Athletes & Active People

Sweat carries magnesium out of the body. Cramps, twitches, restless legs and slow recovery are the classic signs. Daily magnesium with zinc supports muscle function, recovery and testosterone.

RECOVERY
04

Blood Pressure, Blood Sugar & Bone Health

Magnesium relaxes blood vessels, improves how the body responds to insulin, and is essential for bone strength alongside calcium and vitamin D. Valuable for anyone with prediabetes, rising blood pressure, or bone-density concerns.

LONG-TERM HEALTH
05

People on Depleting Medicines

Diuretics (water tablets), acid-reducers (PPIs) and some antibiotics all lower magnesium over time. If you take any of these long-term, daily replacement is sensible โ€” ask your pharmacist about timing.

What to Expect

Some benefits come fast. Others build over months.

Magnesium's calming and muscle effects are felt quickly, because they depend on the magnesium in your blood and nerves. Bone, blood pressure and blood sugar benefits depend on tissue stores โ€” and those refill slowly.
It is a long-game supplement: consistent daily use matters more than timing.

1
DAYS 3โ€“7 Settling in

Many people fall asleep more easily within the first week. Any mild stomach adjustment settles quickly when taken after food.

2
WEEKS 1โ€“2 Sleep and cramps improve

Deeper sleep, fewer night cramps and less muscle tightness are the most commonly reported early changes. Stress feels more manageable.

3
MONTH 1โ€“2 Energy and mood

Steadier daytime energy and calmer mood as nerve and muscle stores are restored. Zinc's immune and skin benefits become noticeable.

4
MONTH 3+ Bone, heart and blood sugar

Bone stores refill over months. Blood pressure and insulin response improvements show in this window. Keep going โ€” these are the benefits that protect you long-term.

Frequently Asked
Your questions, answered honestly

We believe informed decisions are better decisions.

The larger number (1,100mg) is the weight of the whole magnesium glycinate molecule, including the glycine it is bonded to. The smaller number (242mg) is the actual magnesium mineral โ€” and only that figure counts towards your daily intake. The same applies to zinc: 50mg of zinc picolinate delivers 10mg of zinc. We show both so you can compare honestly with other products.
No โ€” this is the main advantage of the glycinate form. Magnesium oxide and citrate cause loose stools because much of the dose is not absorbed and pulls water into the bowel. Glycinate is absorbed higher up in the gut, so there is nothing left over to cause upset. A few people notice mild nausea in the first days; taking it after food resolves this.
Bedtime is recommended because magnesium and glycine both have a calming, sleep-supporting effect that most people find useful at night. But you can take it with any meal. What matters most is taking it every day at a consistent time. Swallow the capsules whole with a full glass of water, with or after food.
It works well with vitamin D (magnesium is needed to activate it) and is a natural partner to Draxer's D3+K2. If you also take calcium, separate the two by a few hours as they compete for absorption. Magnesium and zinc can bind to tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics โ€” take this supplement 1 hour before or 2 hours after those. If you have reduced kidney function or myasthenia gravis, speak to your doctor before use. Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women or children under 12 without medical advice.
Magnesium and zinc share many jobs โ€” bone building, immune defence, hormone production and healing โ€” and people who are low in one are often low in the other, especially athletes and older adults. Including a full day's zinc (10mg) in the same capsule covers both in one daily dose.
