The main distinctive feature of this product is its liquid form. It uses magnesium lactate and magnesium gluconate, soluble forms of magnesium, so in liquid form the mineral is already dispersed in the solution, and the body does not first have to ‘break down’ a tablet or capsule.
In practice the liquid format is convenient for several reasons:
- it is easy to fit into your usual routine, for example by making it part of your morning or evening ritual;
- it suits those who find it hard to swallow solid forms, which applies both to some adults and to children from 3 years;
- the lemon flavour makes taking it more straightforward and pleasant for those who do not like mineral supplements in tablet form.
A general practical point: liquid supplements are easy to measure out according to the instructions with a measuring cap or spoon, so read the recommendations on the packaging before taking it. At a dose of 30 ml a day, a 250 ml bottle lasts an adult about 8 days, and after opening such products are usually stored according to the manufacturer's instructions, as a rule in a cool place and tightly closed.
The format does not make the supplement ‘stronger’ or ‘weaker’; it is only a matter of convenience. It is still a food supplement that complements the diet rather than replacing a balanced diet.
