280mg MAGNESIUM per 2 Capsules
Applied Nutrition Magnesium & Vitamin D3 is a 60-capsule daily supplement combining magnesium bisglycinate with cholecalciferol (D3) in a 2-capsule serving. Each serving delivers 280mg of elemental magnesium and 5ug (200IU) of vitamin D3. The 60-capsule bottle provides 30 servings.
- Magnesium 280mg (75% NRV) — magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal protein synthesis, to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to the maintenance of normal bones. The bisglycinate form is chelated to glycine, improving intestinal absorption compared to oxide or carbonate forms, which is particularly relevant for athletes with compromised gut absorption during heavy training blocks.
- Vitamin D3 5ug / 200IU (100% NRV) — vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, to normal muscle function, to normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, and to the normal function of the immune system. D3 (cholecalciferol) is the form that raises serum 25(OH)D more effectively than D2 and is the preferred form for supplementation in UK latitudes where UVB synthesis is negligible October through April.
The combination of magnesium and D3 in one product addresses a known interaction: adequate magnesium is required for the enzymatic conversion of vitamin D to its active 25(OH)D form. Supplementing D3 without sufficient magnesium reduces the efficacy of the D3. Applied Nutrition covers both in one low-cost daily capsule.
Magnesium & Vitamin D3 suits anyone supplementing for general health maintenance, particularly in UK winter months, those with low dietary magnesium intake from limited green vegetable and nut consumption, and athletes who sweat heavily.
Alternative: Efectiv Nutrition Magnesium Bisglycinate Blend 90 Caps (100mg elemental from 3 forms) for trainees wanting magnesium-only support in a multi-form chelated blend.
