PrizMAG FAQs
Below are some common questions about PrizMAG Pure Magnesium Bisglycinate
PrizMAG is magnesium bisglycinate which is known for its gentle impact on the bowel compared to other magnesium forms. This is because it maintains its integrity as it traverses the gastrointestinal system. It is important to note that — regardless of the form of magnesium — your body will eliminate what it can’t utilize through the bowel, so if you take too much, it may cause loose stools.
The impact of PrizMAG can vary based on your body's magnesium levels and the dose you're taking. Many customers report immediate changes, even if subtle, such as falling asleep more quickly or feeling increased relaxation. However, if you're magnesium-deficient, your body might prioritize the current dose to where it's most needed, given that around 80% of biochemical reactions in the body require magnesium. While some experience immediate sleep benefits, others notice improvements in other magnesium deficiency symptoms first. The Recommended Daily Amount (RDA) for magnesium is around 375mg per day. Some experts argue that the RDA is only sufficient to prevent a deficiency, not to elevate magnesium levels to an optimal status. To determine the right magnesium dosage, observe your bowel movements – when they become comfortably loose, it's an indication you've reached an optimal dosage. It's also beneficial to split your magnesium intake 2-3 times a day for better absorption. Many of us here at ITL Health prefer adding MAG365 to our water bottles for gradual consumption throughout the day, reserving PrizMAG for bedtime. If you feel you're not maximizing the benefits of PrizMAG, consider adjusting your dosage and experimenting with different times of the day to find what works best for you.
It's advisable to experiment with different doses to determine the optimal amount for you. Some individuals find improved well-being with four capsules, while others have reported taking up to six capsules before bedtime. While our bottle provides a suggested range on the back for general guidance, individual needs can vary. Numerous factors contribute to the depletion of magnesium stores in the body, and everyone's magnesium burn-rate is unique. These factors include exercise, mental stress, extreme temperatures, prescription medication, trauma, alcohol, and dietary habits. Each PrizMAG capsule contains 80mg of elemental magnesium, so a four-capsule dosage would provide 320mg of magnesium, which is around the Canadian daily recommended requirement of 300mg.
After conducting thorough research on different capsule types, we determined that pullulan stands out as the purest option available. This vegan, water-soluble capsule is crafted from fermented plants. We favour pullulan over hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) capsules, which essentially consist of a plastic-like substance called propylene glycol ether of methylcellulose. For a deeper understanding of pullulan and why we chose it, refer to our Product Purity FAQ.
All our products are manufactured in a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) facility, subjected to annual audits by a third-party to ensure compliance with current rules and regulations. Furthermore, each batch undergoes testing to guarantee the high-quality standards we promise our customers. Additionally, we engage a third-party company periodically to conduct purity tests on our products.
PrizMAG magnesium bisglycinate is an excellent choice for addressing any symptoms of magnesium deficiency, particularly due to its pure and highly absorbable form. Its effectiveness is notable in addressing sleep issues, anxiety, and stress, thanks to the presence of glycine amino acids to which the magnesium is bound. Quality magnesium supplements, such as PrizMAG or MAG365, can effectively alleviate all symptoms of magnesium deficiency.
Certainly, both PrizMAG and PrizMAG+ are safe to use during pregnancy. In fact, magnesium is recommended to promote a safe pregnancy, benefiting both the mother and the developing fetus. We recommend discussing any new supplements with your doctor before getting started.
Yes, just like all our products, both PrizMAG and PrizMAG+ are vegan.
PrizMAG is composed solely of pure magnesium bisglycinate, while PrizMAG+ includes the same pure magnesium bisglycinate along with vitamins D3 and K2. The combination of magnesium, D3, and K2 works together synergistically to enhance optimal assimilation in the body, and they play a crucial role in ensuring proper calcium absorption.
We include 80mg of magnesium bisglycinate in our capsules, which represents the maximum amount of pure magnesium bisglycinate that can fit into a 00-size capsule. Some magnesium bisglycinate brands incorporate magnesium oxide as a buffer, due to its smaller molecular size, which allows them to boast a higher elemental magnesium content. However, magnesium oxide has a low absorption rate, with some studies finding only a 4% absorbability rate. Many supplement manufacturers might not be aware of this addition, as it may not be disclosed by their supplier. Consequently, they may claim a higher magnesium bisglycinate amount without accounting for the added magnesium oxide. PrizMAG is 100% pure magnesium bisglycinate.
We've chosen not to produce a magnesium bisglycinate powder as our primary focus is on delivering 100% pure, top-quality products. In the case of raw magnesium bisglycinate powders, manufacturers often have to diminish the magnesium content (by up to 33%) to accommodate silicon dioxide and other taste-enhancing additives. However, our commitment is to provide pure and effective products without unnecessary additives. Creating a magnesium bisglycinate powder with a pleasant taste doesn't align with our company values. Instead, we offer PrizMAG Pure Magnesium Bisglycinate in convenient and effective capsules, ensuring our customers receive both potency and palatability. For those who prefer a powdered magnesium option, we have our award-winning MAG365 Ionic Magnesium Citrate, a highly absorbable powder available in four delicious flavour options.
Many magnesium supplement companies resort to using fillers for the sake of simplifying the manufacturing process. However, our cutting-edge research has enabled us to find alternatives to this practice. With our ultimate focus on achieving optimal health, we prioritize purity. If you have any unanswered questions, please don't hesitate to email us, and we'd be delighted to provide the answers you seek!
PrizMAG magnesium bisglycinate is a combination of a magnesium molecule and two glycine amino acids. Both magnesium and glycine individually have sleep-inducing properties, and when combined, they create a powerful formula for a restful night's sleep. PrizMAG not only aids in falling asleep faster but also promotes staying asleep and waking up feeling more refreshed in the morning. Most magnesium bisglycinate supplements on the market contain fillers, such as magnesium oxide. One reason PrizMAG works so well is that it is 100% pure magnesium bisglycinate – without any fillers (such as magnesium oxide) or manufacturing agents.
