Magnesium Complex by DoSe is an advanced magnesium supplement that contains eight types of magnesium compounds including magnesium glycinate, citrate, oxide, aspartate, malate, orotate, gluconate, BHB for immediate, intermediate, and long-term benefits.
Magnesium is an important mineral that is required by every cell in the body and is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions. Magnesium supports muscle and nerve relaxation, energy production, hormone manufacture, bone health, protein formation for tissue repair, improved gut cleansing, the stress response, may alleviate headaches and numerous other processes.
Getting enough magnesium is important to keep your body working at its best. Though it is possible to get adequate amounts of this mineral from your diet, taking a supplement may be helpful if you have difficulty meeting your magnesium needs through food or if you have a deficiency.
Magnesium Complex supplement provides the correct strengths of each magnesium compound to maximise their primary benefits. Each Magnesium Complex capsule provides 250mg of magnesium bisglycinate, magnesium citrate, magnesium oxide, magnesium aspartate, magnesium malate, magnesium gluconate, magnesium orotate, and magnesium BHB.
Magnesium Complex capsules contain:
Magnesium Glycinate - is a highly bioavailable form of magnesium used for cellular energy and nerve relaxation.
Magnesium Citrate - helps cleanse the GI tract.
Magnesium Oxide - has been used to help alleviate headaches and improve blood sugar management.
Magnesium Aspartate - helps reduce stress hormones to lessen anxiety, mood swings, and restlessness.
Magnesium Malate - may help alleviate muscle pain and cramps, improve bone integrity and heart health.
Magnesium Gluconate - helps enhance enzymes that convert food into energy and may help alleviate night cramps.
Magnesium Orotate - has been shown to work on the gut-brain axis to help anxiety-related symptoms.
Magnesium BHB - works to help brain and nerve function as well as reduce inflammation.

What is Magnesium Complex good for?Providing 500mg of magnesium, the Magnesium Complex can help with everyday well-being (better sleep, more energy, and a better mood) as well as specific health benefits associated with heart health and headaches. Magnesium contributes to a normal energy yielding metabolism, to the normal functioning of the nervous system, to electrolyte balance, to normal protein synthesis and to normal psychological function. Magnesium also has a role in the process of cell division. As well as the above, magnesium contributes towards normal muscle function and to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, as well as to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
How long does it take for magnesium to start working?Generally, magnesium supplements are found to be effective after one week of use, as individuals may experience benefits such as improved energy levels, reduced muscle cramps, better sleep quality, and reduced anxiety.
What is the benefit of taking magnesium complex?Whilst the individual magnesium supplements may have specific benefits, many do not want to take several magnesium supplements daily. The body can benefit from some of the variety of magnesium compounds that are absorbed at different rates and have some specific actions which when combined together provide magnesium’s benefits to the body. Magnesium is important for many processes in the body, including regulating muscle and nerve function, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure and making protein, bone, and DNA.
When should I take magnesium complex? Magnesium supplements should be taken with meals. We recommend taking 2 capsules of our magnesium complex every day, ideally with a meal.  Magnesium supplements can be taken at any time of the day, as long as you're able to take them consistently. For some, taking supplements first thing in the morning may be easiest, while others may find that taking them with dinner or just before bed works well for them.  
Will this magnesium give me an upset tummy?This food supplement deliberately uses lower amounts of each magnesium with the aim to reduce any upset tummies that can be associated with magnesium. Magnesium citrate and magnesium glycinate have been included specifically since this is a smaller magnesium compound that readily passes from the intestines into the bloodstream. As above, we suggest taking with food.  
What is the best way to take magneisum?Magnesium supplements should be taken with meals. Taking magnesium supplements on an empty stomach may cause diarrhea.
How can I tell if I have low magnesium levels? Early signs of magnesium deficiency include nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, tiredness, and weakness.
Where can I find magnesium naturally in food, and is this enough?Magnesium is found in a variety of dietary sources, including black beans, edamame, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, almonds, avocados, peanuts, cashews, dark leafy vegetables, and soymilk. The absorption of magnesium from food sources alone is rarely adequate to meet  the recommended daily doses for those who who require magnesium.
What is magnesium and why is it important?Magnesium is a vital mineral that your body needs for over 300 biochemical reactions. It plays a key role in energy production, muscle and nerve function, bone health, and mental wellbeing. Every cell in your body needs magnesium to function properly.
What are the signs of magnesium deficiency?Low magnesium can lead to a variety of symptoms, including:
Muscle cramps or spasms
Fatigue or low energy
Poor sleep
Headaches or migraines
Anxiety or mood changes
Constipation
Numbness or tingling
Deficiency is more common than many people realise.
How do I know if I need a magnesium supplement?You might benefit from supplementation if your diet lacks magnesium-rich foods (like leafy greens, nuts, seeds, or whole grains), or if you’re under stress, physically active, or taking medications that deplete magnesium. People with digestive issues or poor absorption may also be more prone to low levels.
Can I get enough magnesium from food?Yes, but it’s not always easy. Modern diets tend to be low in magnesium due to food processing and mineral depletion in the soil. Even if you eat healthily, it’s possible to fall short. A high-quality supplement helps fill the gap.
What does magnesium do for stress and sleep?Magnesium helps calm the nervous system and supports the production of GABA — a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation. This makes it especially helpful for managing stress, improving sleep quality, and calming a racing mind before bed.
Can magnesium help with anxiety or depression?Magnesium may support emotional balance by regulating neurotransmitters that affect mood. It’s often used as a natural way to help reduce feelings of anxiety, irritability, or restlessness, particularly in those with low magnesium levels.
Is magnesium good for exercise and muscle recovery?Yes. Magnesium supports energy production, helps relax muscles, and may prevent cramps after exercise. It also contributes to electrolyte balance, which is essential for athletes and anyone with an active lifestyle.
Can magnesium help with headaches or migraines?Magnesium is commonly used to help prevent or reduce the frequency and severity of headaches and migraines. People who experience regular migraines are often found to have low magnesium levels.
How quickly can I expect to see results from magnesium?Some people notice improvements in sleep, digestion, or muscle tension within a few days. Others may see more gradual benefits over 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use, depending on their individual needs.
Are there different types of magnesium?
Yes — and they each offer different benefits.
Magnesium glycinate is calming and supports sleep.
Magnesium citrate aids digestion.
Magnesium oxide is used for headaches and constipation.
Magnesium malate helps with energy and muscle pain.
Other forms like aspartate, orotate, gluconate, and BHB offer support for mood, focus, and inflammation.
A blend of multiple forms (like Magnesium Complex) offers broad support across the body and mind.
Can magnesium help with constipation?Yes. Certain forms, especially magnesium citrate and magnesium oxide, draw water into the intestines to promote regular bowel movements. This makes magnesium a gentle, natural support for digestive regularity.
Is magnesium safe for everyone?Magnesium is generally very safe when taken at recommended doses. However, if you have kidney problems or are on certain medications, it’s best to speak with your healthcare provider before taking a supplement.
When is the best time to take magnesium?You can take magnesium at any time of day, but many people find it most helpful in the evening, when its calming effects can support relaxation and better sleep. Always take with food to support absorption and avoid any potential stomach upset.
Does magnesium support bone health like calcium?Definitely. Magnesium works alongside calcium and vitamin D to support strong, healthy bones and teeth. In fact, without enough magnesium, calcium may not be properly utilized in the body.
What is Magnesium Complex, and how is it different from other supplements?Magnesium Complex is a premium blend of 8 bioavailable forms of magnesium, each chosen for its unique benefits—from nerve relaxation to energy production and muscle recovery. Unlike single-form magnesium supplements, ours offers broad-spectrum support for whole-body health.
What are the benefits of taking Magnesium Complex?Magnesium Complex supports:
Reduced tiredness and fatigue
Nervous system and psychological balance
Muscle function and bone strength
Energy metabolism and protein synthesis
Improved sleep and stress resilience
Gut cleansing and relief from cramps or headaches
Why does it contain so many forms of magnesium?Each form offers specific advantages:
Glycinate: relaxation & sleep
Citrate: digestion & regularity
Oxide: blood sugar & headache support
Aspartate: stress relief
Malate: muscle & bone health
Gluconate: energy conversion & cramps
Orotate: gut-brain axis & anxiety
BHB: brain function & inflammation
This multi-form approach helps maximize absorption and benefits.
How much magnesium is in each capsule?Each capsule contains 250 mg of total magnesium, derived from all 8 forms in carefully balanced ratios.
Who should consider taking Magnesium Complex?
Anyone who:
Feels fatigued or stressed
Struggles with sleep or muscle cramps
Has a magnesium-deficient diet
Suffers from headaches, mood swings, or digestive issues
Is physically active or under chronic stress
Is it safe for daily use?Yes. You can take 1–2 capsules daily, with food. This is well within EFSA’s safe intake guidelines. Do not exceed the stated dose.
Can I take it alongside other supplements or medication?Magnesium generally combines well with most supplements. However, if you are taking medication or have a medical condition, we recommend consulting your doctor before use.
Is this supplement suitable for children?No. Magnesium Complex is not suitable for children. It’s formulated for adults only.
