This is one of the most common questions we get — and at first glance, it seems like it should be simple. But like most things in health, the answer is a little more nuanced.
The Amount of Magnesium Per Serving
Our Liquid Mag provides around 200 mg of elemental magnesium per teaspoon.
We don’t have one single exact number because the concentration can vary slightly depending on:
- The natural concentration of the raw ingredients
- The ratio of the three magnesium forms in our blend (threonate, glycinate, and chloride)
Why Not All Magnesium Is Equal
When comparing magnesium products, it’s important to look beyond the number on the label. Many magnesium supplements are low quality and don’t absorb well due to the form of magnesium used or because of unnecessary fillers and additives.
Take magnesium sulfate, for example. This form may appear to provide a high dose (you might know it as Epsom salts in a bath), but in practice:
- Much of it doesn’t even dissolve fully before your bath is finished
- Many commercial Epsom salt products contain additives like maltodextrin, synthetic fragrance, and other toxic substances that do more harm than good
Another low-quality form of magnesium that often doesn’t absorb well is magnesium oxide.
It looks appealing on a label because it contains a high percentage of elemental magnesium, but the actual bioavailability is very low—your body only absorbs a small fraction of it.
That’s why people who take magnesium oxide often still remain deficient or experience digestive issues like loose stools without getting the full benefits.
That’s why we carefully selected three top-quality forms of magnesium — threonate, glycinate, and chloride — and avoided all toxic fillers or additives. Your body deserves clean, effective nutrition.
Why “How Much Magnesium Is In It?” Isn’t the Whole Story
Asking how many milligrams of magnesium are in a product can also be misleading. The bigger question is: how much of it does your body actually absorb and use?
Several substances in your daily routine can block or reduce magnesium absorption, including:
- Fluoride (from drinking water or toothpaste)
- Coffee (especially in excess)
- Alcohol
- Excess sugar
- High-dose calcium (often found in dairy or supplements)
- Certain medications (like proton pump inhibitors or some antibiotics)
The Bottom Line
So even if you’re taking a supplement that claims to be high in magnesium, you might not be getting the benefits if these blockers are part of your lifestyle.
At True Form, we don’t just look at numbers — we look at results. Our Liquid Mag delivers around 200 mg of elemental magnesium per teaspoon, but more importantly, it comes in three highly bioavailable forms that your body can actually use. By avoiding fillers and focusing on quality, we ensure you’re getting real benefits, not just a big number on a label.
If you want a clean, effective magnesium supplement that your body can absorb, our Liquid Mag was designed with you in mind.
