Why Does Our Daily Liquid Multivitamin Contain Magnesium?
Magnesium is one of those nutrients you might not think about often, but your body certainly does.
This ingredient quietly supports hundreds of biological functions every day, from keeping your heartbeat steady to helping your muscles relax after movement. It plays a role in how your brain communicates with your muscles, how your cells produce energy, and how your body maintains balance in everything from blood sugar to bone density.
Despite its widespread impact, magnesium deficiency is surprisingly common, especially in people who rely heavily on processed foods or have health conditions that affect absorption. In fact, it’s estimated that up to 15% of Americans experience magnesium deficiency.
Because magnesium affects so many systems at once, even a mild shortage can throw your body off in subtle but meaningful ways.
That’s why we include a bioavailable form of magnesium in every serving of our Daily Liquid Multivitamins + Minerals. It’s a simple way to help support your magnesium intake, without adding another pill to your routine.
Whether you're focused on managing blood pressure, reducing muscle cramps, or just supporting everyday cellular health, magnesium supplements can be part of the foundation, and Passion 4 Health makes sure it’s there when you need it.
What Are the Benefits of Magnesium in a Daily Multivitamin?
Magnesium is a mineral found naturally in foods like green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains. Still, surveys show that many people fall short when it comes to daily magnesium dietary intake.
An analysis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) of 2013–2016 found that 48% of Americans of all ages ingest less magnesium from food and beverages than their respective estimated average requirements.
The consequences of low magnesium levels can range from fatigue and muscle cramps to poor sleep quality and elevated blood pressure. Your body relies on magnesium for:
- Muscle function: It helps prevent painful cramping and twitching.
- Nerve signaling: Magnesium plays a role in transmitting messages between your brain and body.
- Blood sugar regulation: It assists with insulin activity, which affects how your body manages glucose.
- Heart health: It helps maintain a steady rhythm and supports normal blood pressure.
- Bone integrity: Magnesium works alongside calcium and vitamin D to support strong bones.
In short, the benefits of magnesium touch nearly every part of your body. Therefore, it’s important to ask your doctors about your magnesium levels regularly.
Magnesium Deficiency Is More Common Than You Might Think
Despite its availability in food, many people don’t get enough magnesium, especially those with digestive issues, poorly controlled diabetes, or high alcohol consumption. Certain medications, such as proton pump inhibitors or diuretics, can also lower magnesium levels over time.
If your magnesium levels are too low, symptoms may include:
- Muscle cramps or spasms
- Low energy
- Numbness or tingling
- Abnormal heart rhythms
- Migraine headaches
Over time, chronic low magnesium levels (or severe magnesium deficiency) may contribute to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, insulin resistance, and even osteoporosis.
What Form of Magnesium Is Best in Dietary Supplements?
There are many types of magnesium used in dietary supplements, each with its own absorption rate and specific use. Some common forms include:
- Magnesium citrate: Well-absorbed and often used to support digestion
- Magnesium oxide: Contains a high percentage of elemental magnesium but is less bioavailable
- Magnesium glycinate: Gentle on the stomach and often used to support relaxation and sleep
- Magnesium sulfate: Commonly used in hospitals, especially in intravenous form
- Magnesium chloride and magnesium carbonate: Are often found in topical and oral products
At Passion 4 Health, we source our magnesium from mineralized red algae sea minerals, a natural, plant-based form harvested from the clean, nutrient-rich waters off the coast of Iceland.
Unlike many synthetic magnesium supplements, this form is derived from Lithothamnion, a red marine algae that absorbs magnesium and other trace minerals directly from seawater. This results in a highly bioavailable source of magnesium that the body can absorb and use more efficiently.
Because it comes from a whole-food marine source, it also contains a broad spectrum of naturally occurring minerals that work together to support better absorption and retention. Simply put, it’s a smarter, more natural way to support magnesium intake backed by nature and supported by science.
How Much Magnesium Do You Need?
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for magnesium varies by age and sex, but most adults need between 310–420 mg of magnesium per day.
At Passion 4 Health, our multivitamin provides a meaningful contribution toward that supplement goal (7 mg of magnesium) without pushing you into excessive territory. Keep in mind that too much magnesium supplementation can lead to abdominal cramps or diarrhea.
If you’re curious about how much magnesium is right for you, speak with your healthcare provider. They may even recommend a blood test to check your magnesium status, especially if you have kidney disease or another condition that affects electrolyte balance.
