In a true magnesium glycinate supplement, the elemental magnesium should equal no more than 12 - 14% of the total magnesium amount.

If it’s more than 12 - 14%, it’s either not a true magnesium glycinate supplement.

Or a cheaper lower quality form of magnesium like magnesium oxide has been mixed in to the formula.

Most vitamin C supplements are not natural … they’re synthetic.

And if you’re the type of person that would prefer a natural vitamin C.

There’s 2 things to look for.

1. If the brand only details ascorbic acid on the label of their vitamin C supplement bottle or their website, there is more than a high chance that this is synthetic.

As synthetic vitamin C supplements only isolate ascorbic acid, rather than the whole vitamin C complex.

2. Natural vitamin C supplements have a lower dose of around 100mg per serve.

Where as synthetic vitamin C supplements have anywhere from 500 mg to 1000 mg per serve.

Confirming these two points will help ensure that you’re actually buying a natural vitamin C supplement if that is your preference.

There’s a heap of different calcium supplements in the market … and many use quality forms, like calcium carbonate.

If you’re going to supplement Calcium, our preference is a marine based calcium source from red algae.

And paired with vitamin K2 as MK7 to help directed the calcium to your bones.

Marine calcium also includes a range of naturally occurring trace minerals, which support the proper utilisation of calcium in our bodies.

Four of the most common vitamin & mineral deficiencies we see are Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin C & Zinc.

Because for a lot of us, getting enough of these 4 nutrients through whole foods alone, can be hard.

Calcium, we need for bone, muscle & cardiovascular system health.

Magnesium supports over 300 different reactions in your body, including sleep, stress, energy & hormone function.

Vitamin C is essential for our immune systems & skin health.

And zinc plays a key role in our hormone health, reproductive system health, hair, skin & nail health.

People with darker skin tones have higher amounts of Melanin … a natural skin pigment that protects the skin from the sun.

However melanin also prevents the ability for the skin to use the suns UVB rays to create vitamin D.

This is why people with darker skin tones have a higher risk of developing a vitamin D deficiency.

And should optimise their lifestyle to prioritise getting enough vitamin D.

Out of all the different types of magnesium supplements, magnesium glycinate is up at the top of the list.

BUT … brands can be sneaky and still include magnesium oxide in their formula.

This process is called buffering, which can happen during the chelation process of magnesium to glycine.

Or, when a brand simply mixes in magnesium oxide to increase the perceived magnesium content.

And compared to a true magnesium glycinate supplement, buffered magnesium glycinate supplements can be less effective at supporting areas like your stress & your sleep.

How often you workout. How stressed you are. How much coffee you drink & how often you’re eating processed foods, increase the amount of vitamins & minerals you need.

And whether or not you need to take a vitamin or mineral supplements always depends on your diet & your lifestyle.

17/11/2025

Whenever we have a choice between natural vitamin C supplements & synthetic vitamin C supplements.

We always prefer natural.

Because natural vitamin C supplements, like those from Acerola Cherry, Kakadu Plum or Camu Camu powder, remain in their whole food complex.

And provide a range of other plant compounds and phytonutrients which are beneficial for our health.

Synthetic vitamin C supplements isolate just the ascobic acid component.

And miss out on these nutrients.

Depending on what the magnesium is bound to, different magnesium supplements provide different benefits.

Magnesium threonate is great for cognitive support, including memory and focus.

Magnesium malate for muscle recovery and energy.

And magnesium glycinate for sleep, stress & recovery.

All are effective at raising your magnesium levels (which should be the main reason you take a magnesium supplement).

But your specific needs with influence the specific magnesium you take.

Remember to always read the label and follow the directions for use.

To ensure you’re getting the most benefit from your iron supplement …

We recommend taking your iron mid morning on an empty stomach two hours after a meal.

And two hours after your last cup of coffee.

And if you’re planning to have another cup of coffee, take your iron supplement at least one hour before.

11/11/2025

How you take a supplement is often times as important as the type of supplement you take.

And this 100% applies to zinc supplements and magnesium supplements as they can often compete with each other for absorption.

What I personally do and what we recommend to most of our customers is to take their zinc supplement midmorning or mid afternoon on an empty stomach.

And a high-quality magnesium supplement like magnesium glycinate late afternoon for dinner and then again just before bed.

Allowing for plenty of time between when you take your zinc and you take a magnesium.

10/11/2025

Vitamins & minerals support literally every single function in your body.

Your sleep, stress & your ability to convert food into energy, needs magnesium.

Vitamin C supports your immune system, collagen production & skin health.

Muscle function & bone health rely on calcium.

And Zinc plays a role in your hormones, reproductive system health, hair, skin & nail health.

And everyday, we should aim to eat a diverse range of nutrient dense, whole foods.

Rich in vitamins & minerals.
