NutraBio Magnesium Complex delivers 200mg of elemental magnesium per 2-capsule serving from a dual-source blend of Albion® Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate (marketed under Albion's TRAACS® branded mineral technology) and Di-Magnesium Malate — two of the most bioavailable, best-tolerated magnesium forms available, chosen specifically over cheaper inorganic salts like magnesium oxide. Magnesium is essential for over 300-600 enzymatic reactions in the body, supporting muscle relaxation, bone formation, cardiovascular function, and healthy blood sugar metabolism. No fillers, excipients, or additives — just the active magnesium blend and a clean capsule shell. HPLC lab tested for potency and verified free of harmful impurities. 120 capsules — 60 servings at the standard 2-capsule dose, with flexible 1-2 serving daily dosing depending on individual needs. Gluten-free. Manufactured in-house by NutraBio Labs in Middlesex, NJ under cGMP certification.†

Why Two Magnesium Forms Instead of One
NutraBio's Magnesium Complex combines Albion® Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate and Di-Magnesium Malate in a 1:1 ratio rather than relying on a single form — a deliberate formulation choice that reflects each form's distinct strengths. Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate (magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine) is prized specifically for its gentle GI tolerance and high absorption, making it one of the least likely magnesium forms to cause the loose stools that plague cheaper magnesium salts. Magnesium Malate (magnesium bound to malic acid) contributes its own well-documented research base, particularly around energy production — malic acid is a direct intermediate in the Krebs cycle, the metabolic pathway that generates cellular ATP. Combining both forms provides the calming, GI-friendly benefits of glycinate alongside the energy-production support of malate in a single capsule.†
Albion® TRAACS® — Why the Chelate Source Matters
Albion Minerals is widely regarded as the pioneer and gold standard in mineral amino acid chelation technology, and their TRAACS® (The Real Amino Acid Chelate System) designation specifically verifies that a mineral chelate meets Albion's rigorous purity and bioavailability standards — not every product claiming "magnesium glycinate" or "bisglycinate" on its label actually uses genuine, fully-reacted Albion chelate. NutraBio specifically sources Albion's TRAACS®-certified Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate, giving this product a documented, third-party-verified mineral chelation standard rather than a generic or under-reacted chelate that delivers less consistent absorption.†
What Magnesium Actually Does — The Four Documented Roles
Muscle Relaxation
Magnesium exerts a relaxant effect on muscles by inhibiting calcium influx and smooth muscle contraction — calcium triggers muscle contraction, and magnesium is required for the muscle to relax afterward. This calcium-magnesium balance is central to why adequate magnesium status is associated with reduced muscle cramping and tension, particularly relevant for athletes with high training volume and correspondingly elevated magnesium turnover through sweat losses.†
Bone Formation
Magnesium is essential for bone matrix formation and helps maintain bone strength. Magnesium deficiency can result in low calcium and cause vitamin D abnormalities — magnesium is required for the enzymatic conversion of vitamin D into its active form, meaning inadequate magnesium status can undermine vitamin D and calcium's own bone-supportive roles even when those two nutrients are independently adequate.†
Cardiovascular Function
Magnesium may play an important role in regulating blood pressure and cardiac rhythm and assisting cardiac muscle function — magnesium's role in calcium channel regulation extends to cardiac muscle tissue specifically, where proper calcium-magnesium balance supports normal heart rhythm and contractile function.†
Blood Sugar Metabolism
Magnesium is involved in glucose metabolism and insulin action. More than 30% of individuals with diabetes are low in magnesium, and low magnesium levels have been linked to insulin resistance and abnormal glucose tolerance — magnesium is a required cofactor for the enzymes involved in both insulin secretion and insulin receptor function.†
Why "No Fillers, Excipients, or Additives" Is a Meaningful Claim Here
NutraBio has built its brand reputation specifically around label transparency and minimal-additive formulation — a philosophy this product reflects literally. Many magnesium supplements pad their capsules with flow agents, bulking agents, and other non-active fillers to reach a standard capsule size; NutraBio's Magnesium Complex contains only the two active magnesium compounds and a basic capsule shell, with HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) lab testing verifying both potency and the absence of harmful impurities on every batch.†
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does NutraBio combine two magnesium forms instead of just one?
Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate offers gentle GI tolerance and high absorption, while Di-Magnesium Malate contributes malic acid's role in cellular energy production via the Krebs cycle. Combining both in a 1:1 ratio provides the calming, stomach-friendly benefits of glycinate alongside malate's energy-support properties in a single capsule.†
How much magnesium is in each capsule vs. each serving?
Each capsule provides 100mg of elemental magnesium. The standard serving size is 2 capsules, providing 200mg of elemental magnesium total. Dosing is flexible — 1-2 servings (2-4 capsules) per day depending on individual needs.†
Is this the same product as NutraBio's ZMA?
No — NutraBio ZMA combines Zinc, Magnesium, and Vitamin B6 in a specific ratio targeted at sleep, recovery, and hormone support. Magnesium Complex is a standalone, dual-source magnesium product without zinc or B6 — choose Magnesium Complex if you specifically want magnesium alone, or ZMA if you want the combined zinc-magnesium-B6 formula.†
Is NutraBio Magnesium Complex appropriate for tested athletes?
Yes — magnesium is not prohibited by WADA, NCAA, or any sports governing body. It is an essential mineral found in food.†
How to Take NutraBio Magnesium Complex
Take 1-2 servings (2-4 capsules) daily, with or without food, based on your individual needs — evening dosing is commonly preferred for its relaxation and sleep-supportive effects, though morning or split dosing works equally well. Consistent daily use over several weeks is recommended to notice the full range of muscle relaxation, sleep, and general wellness benefits. Not for pregnant or nursing women without physician clearance. Consult a physician before use if you have kidney disease, are taking antibiotics, bisphosphonates, or diuretics, or have any other medical condition. California Prop 65 Warning applies.†

Who Should Exercise Caution with Magnesium Complex
Individuals with kidney disease or renal impairment should consult a physician — impaired kidneys may not excrete excess magnesium normally
Not for pregnant or nursing women without physician clearance
Individuals taking antibiotics (particularly tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones) should separate dosing by several hours — magnesium can reduce absorption of these medications
Individuals taking bisphosphonates (osteoporosis medications) should consult a physician regarding dosing timing
Individuals taking diuretics or heart medications should consult a physician — magnesium interacts with electrolyte balance and cardiac function
High doses may cause loose stools in sensitive individuals — reduce dose if this occurs
Consult a physician before use if taking any prescription medications or having any medical condition
