About this range and common questions
The full magnesium range, curated by One Life Health consultants. Glycinate for sleep. Citrate for energy. Threonate (Magtein) for focus. Vetted brands only — no warehouse grey-imports. Free delivery over R400. Pickup options are shown at checkout.
If you're choosing one magnesium, our consultants would point most South Africans at glycinate or citrate first — the two most bioavailable forms, gentle on the stomach, with the best evidence behind them.
For sleep and stress: glycinate. For energy/cramping/digestive: citrate. For brain and focus: Magtein (L-threonate). For a daily magnesium we'd reach for glycinate or citrate first.

Common questions
What kind of magnesium should I take?
For sleep and nervous-system support: glycinate. For energy, cramping or daily maintenance: citrate. For brain and focus: L-threonate (Magtein). Skip oxide — it's cheap but poorly absorbed.
How much magnesium do I need daily?
The standard adult daily requirement is around 310–420mg. Most clinical sleep/stress protocols use 200–400mg of elemental magnesium taken in the evening. Always read the label — "500mg of magnesium citrate" is not the same as "500mg of elemental magnesium".
Can I take magnesium with my other medication?
Magnesium can interact with some antibiotics, bisphosphonates, and certain blood-pressure medications. If you're on chronic medication, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before you order.
How does in-store pickup work?
For online pickup, choose an available location at checkout and wait for your ready-to-collect notification before travelling.

From the counter
The mineral everyone is short of time for
Magnesium is our most-recommended single mineral, and the form matters more than the brand: glycinate for calm evenings and sensitive stomachs, citrate for affordability and regularity, orotate and taurate blends like BodyMag for the heart-and-muscle crowd, and the classic 7/87 complex that pairs seven forms in one capsule.
Picking your form
Tell us the job — better evenings, training recovery, everyday maintenance — and we'll name the form in one sentence. Doses on South African labels are elemental magnesium, so compare that number, not capsule counts; more is not better past what the body can use. Magnesium supports normal muscle and nervous-system function. The counter has explained the difference between citrate and glycinate several thousand times since 1996 and genuinely doesn't mind doing it again — WhatsApp us free.
