    Why Magnesium Matters

    Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in over 300 biochemical reactions and other functions in the body. Magnesium is vital for producing energy and maintaining healthy bones. It helps regulate muscle and nerve function, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure. It is also known for its calming effects, aiding in relaxation and sleep, and can help reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress.

    However, there are many products on the market contain low-quality forms of magnesium, such as magnesium oxide, which has a lower absorption rate. When you choose a supplement, it’s essential to select a high-quality product that provides an easily absorbed form of magnesium - such as magnesium glycinate tablets - which is also free from unnecessary fillers or binders. That’s where VitaBright comes in!

    Why BBC Good Food judged VitaBright the best Magnesium of 2024

    The BBC tried and tested 24 different magnesium supplements and rated two VitaBright products as the best buys on both quality and price.

    VitaBright Magnesium Glycinate

    BBC Star rating: 5/5: VitaBright Magnesium Glycinate tablets scooped the highest rating from the judges and comes with their full recommendation in the magnesium category. 

    "Two capsules provides 80 per cent NRV of elemental magnesium in the form of glycinate, which may be a gentler alternative for delicate stomachs. Again, this brand is free from fillers and unnecessary ingredients.”

    VitaBright Magnesium Citrate

    BBC Star rating: 5/5: VitaBright Magnesium Citrate also came in with the highest accolade from the BBC Good Food judges, with another top score and a hearty recommendation of this magnesium supplement. 

    “The recommended dose of two easy to swallow capsules provides you with 118 per cent of your NRV. It’s a good option for avoiding allergens or unnecessary ingredients, as it contains no fillers or binding agents. Magnesium citrate is an easily absorbed form of magnesium.”

    Which VitaBright product is the best Magnesium for me?

    For better sleep, VitaBright Magnesium Glycinate offers a more gentle alternative for those with sensitive stomachs. This form of magnesium is known for its calming properties and research has shown it can support relaxation and improved sleep quality and duration. You receive 80% of your NRV of elemental magnesium in two capsules, making it a great option for those seeking quality at an affordable price.

    For a strong magnesium boost and all-round support, VitaBright Magnesium Citrate gives you a full 118% of your NRV in each serving of two easy-to-swallow capsules. Magnesium citrate is known for its excellent absorption rate, making it a fantastic choice for supporting all the body functions and health benefits that depend on magnesium. Plus, it’s free from allergens, fillers, and binding agents, ensuring you get only what you need without any unnecessary additives.

     

    Why Quality Matters in Magnesium Supplements

    When choosing a magnesium supplement, quality is paramount. Poor-quality supplements may contain low-grade magnesium forms that your body struggles to absorb, meaning you won’t get the benefits you’re looking for. Cheap fillers and binding agents can also irritate your stomach or cause unwanted side effects. With VitaBright, you can rest assured knowing you’re getting the purest forms of magnesium in optimal doses to maximise absorption and effectiveness.

    At VitaBright, we believe in only using the best ingredients to deliver optimal results. VitaBright magnesium supplements come at nutritionist-supported doses which have been carefully formulated to provide effective, high-absorption support for your magnesium levels, ensuring that your body gets the magnesium it needs to thrive.

    The BBC Verdict: VitaBright Makes the Best Magnesium for Your Daily Needs

    Join the thousands of satisfied customers who have made VitaBright their top choice for magnesium supplements. Whether you’re looking to support muscle and nerve function, improve sleep quality, or boost your overall health, VitaBright Magnesium Citrate and Magnesium Glycinate are the ideal options.
