Magnesium plays a central role in regulating the nervous system, muscle relaxation, and cellular energy production. Yet many people do not reach optimal magnesium intake due to modern dietary patterns, stress, and increased physiological demand.
We designed AVEA’s Magnesium Complex to support the key biological pathways where magnesium plays the most important role: nervous system regulation, muscle recovery, energy metabolism, and digestive balance. We chose three highly bioavailable magnesium forms, each selected for how it's absorbed and where it works in the body.
Magnesium Complex

Magnesium Complex
Magnesium supports the nervous system and helps regulate neurotransmitters involved in relaxation and sleep. We chose to include Magnesium Bisglycinate for this role because it's bound to glycine, an amino acid that supports calming pathways. This form is highly bioavailable and gentle on the gut, making it ideal for daily use and evening supplementation, especially if you’re looking to support relaxation, nervous system balance, and sleep quality.

Magnesium is essential for normal muscle contraction and relaxation. When magnesium levels are low, muscles may remain in a state of tension. Our formula includes Magnesium Citrate because of its strong absorption profile and its ability to support healthy muscle function, relieve everyday tension, and aid recovery after physical exertion.
Magnesium plays a central role in cellular energy metabolism. Every molecule of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the primary energy currency used by our cells, must bind to magnesium in order to become biologically active. We added Magnesium Malate to our formula specifically because malic acid is a key compound in the mitochondrial Krebs cycle, the process through which cells convert nutrients into usable energy. This pairing helps support efficient ATP production and contributes to more stable daytime energy and reduced fatigue.

Magnesium Basics
The science behind magnesium and cellular health
Magnesium is THE longevity mineral powering over 300 reactions in your body, yet most adults are not getting enough of it. From nervous system regulation and muscle function, to cellular energy production and your body's stress response, magnesium is involved in nearly every process that determines how well you sleep, recover, and perform.
At the cellular level, magnesium plays a central role in mitochondrial function and ATP production, which is the process through which your cells generate usable energy. It also contributes to DNA stability, electrolyte balance, and normal muscle and nerve signalling.
Despite its importance, modern diets often provide less magnesium than the body requires. Soil depletion, food processing, and increased physiological demands from stress, exercise, and poor sleep can all contribute to lower magnesium intake and higher magnesium utilisation.
Many over-the-counter magnesium supplements also rely heavily on magnesium oxide, a cheap form of magnesium which is poorly absorbed by the body and therefore not effective.
Maintaining adequate magnesium levels is increasingly recognised as an important foundation for sleep quality, physical recovery, and long-term metabolic health, which is why picking the right form of magnesium can make a big difference in your results.
-
Not all magnesium supplements are absorbed equally. The effectiveness of a magnesium supplement depends largely on the chemical form in which magnesium is delivered.
Many standard supplements rely on magnesium oxide, a form that contains a high percentage of elemental magnesium but is known for relatively poor absorption in the body. Because it is not easily absorbed, a large portion may remain in the digestive tract rather than reaching tissues where magnesium is needed.
More advanced formulations instead use organic or chelated magnesium compounds, which are generally better tolerated and more easily absorbed.
Different forms of magnesium also have different benefits and characteristics. We’ve outlined some of them below:
Magnesium Oxide: This is the most common form found in supermarket supplements. It has a very high "elemental" weight, which looks great on the label, but your body only absorbs about 4% of it. The rest stays in your gut and often causes a laxative effect. We call this a "filler" magnesium.
Magnesium Bisglycinate: Here, magnesium is bound to the amino acid glycine. This is the "gold standard" for relaxation. Because it is highly bioavailable and can cross the blood-brain barrier, it is incredible for calming the nervous system, reducing anxiety, and improving sleep quality.
Magnesium Malate: This form is bound to malic acid, which plays a key role in the Krebs cycle (how your cells create energy). It is the best choice for those dealing with daytime fatigue or "brain fog" and supports muscle recovery after exercise.
Magnesium Citrate: This is a very popular, well-absorbed form. It is excellent for replenishing magnesium levels quickly and helps with muscle tension and digestive regularity.
Magnesium Threonate: This is the "new kid on the block." It has some good data regarding cognitive health and its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. However, it is extremely expensive. While it is promising, the current evidence doesn't yet prove it is significantly more effective for your brain than a high-quality Bisglycinate.
-
Instead of relying on a single form of magnesium, our Magnesium Complex combines three complementary, highly bioavailable forms of magnesium: magnesium bisglycinate, magnesium malate, and magnesium citrate for added benefits:
- Magnesium Bisglycinate is a chelated form of magnesium bound to glycine, an amino acid that supports calming pathways. This form is highly bioavailable and gentle on the gut, making it ideal for daily use and evening supplementation, especially if you’re looking to support relaxation, nervous system balance, and sleep quality.
- Magnesium Citrate is a highly soluble form of magnesium known for its efficient absorption in the digestive tract. Magnesium itself is essential for normal muscle contraction and relaxation, and when magnesium levels are low, muscles may remain in a state of tension. Because of its strong absorption profile, Magnesium Citrate helps support healthy muscle function, relieve everyday muscle tension, and aid physical recovery after exertion. It also contributes to normal digestive function by supporting healthy bowel motility and digestive comfort.
- Magnesium Malate combines magnesium with malic acid, a naturally occurring compound involved in the Krebs cycle, the process through which cells convert nutrients into usable energy (ATP). This form is ideal for supporting cellular energy metabolism, contributing to more stable daytime energy and reduced fatigue.
Together, these forms provide 300 mg of elemental magnesium per daily serving, helping support the biological systems most dependent on magnesium: the nervous system, muscular recovery, and cellular energy metabolism.
- Magnesium Bisglycinate is a chelated form of magnesium bound to glycine, an amino acid that supports calming pathways. This form is highly bioavailable and gentle on the gut, making it ideal for daily use and evening supplementation, especially if you’re looking to support relaxation, nervous system balance, and sleep quality.

What to expect over time
Magnesium plays a central role in sleep regulation, muscle function, and cellular energy production. As magnesium intake becomes consistent, the body’s magnesium levels gradually replenish, allowing these processes to function more efficiently. Over time, this can contribute to better sleep quality, improved muscle recovery, and more stable daily energy levels, with many individuals noticing the first changes within the first few weeks of regular use.
Calmer nervous system and deeper sleep
As magnesium intake becomes consistent, the nervous system begins to stabilise. You may notice improved relaxation, better sleep quality, and reduced muscle tension as magnesium supports normal nervous system function and helps regulate the body’s stress response.
Improved energy and physical recovery
As magnesium levels in the body gradually replenish, cells are better able to produce ATP, which is the molecule responsible for cellular energy. During this phase, many people experience more stable daily energy, improved muscle recovery after physical activity, and greater resilience to everyday stress.
Long-term metabolic and structural support
Maintaining proper magnesium levels also supports normal muscle function, psychological balance, and electrolyte regulation. Over time, this also contributes to the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth, forming an important nutritional foundation for long-term health and vitality.
How AVEA Magnesium Complex compares
-
Take two capsules daily, ideally with food and a glass of water.
Magnesium can be taken at any time of day, but many people prefer taking it in the evening, as magnesium plays an important role in supporting normal nervous system function and muscle relaxation.
For best results, we recommend taking it consistently at the same time each day
-
Not all magnesium supplements are absorbed equally. The effectiveness of a magnesium supplement depends largely on the chemical form in which magnesium is delivered.
Many conventional over-the-counter magnesium supplements rely on magnesium oxide, a cheap form of magnesium which is poorly absorbed by the body and thus ineffective.
More advanced formulations instead use organic or chelated magnesium compounds, which are generally better tolerated and more easily absorbed.
Different forms of magnesium can also support different functions and have different benefits. For example, some forms are commonly used to support relaxation and sleep, while others play a larger role in cellular energy metabolism or muscle function.
For this reason, our Magnesium Complex uses three complementary, highly bioavailable forms of magnesium:
- Magnesium Bisglycinate to support nervous system balance and sleep
- Magnesium Citrate to support muscle relaxation and digestion
- Magnesium Malate to support cellular energy production
This triple-blend approach allows the formula to support multiple biological pathways simultaneously.
- Magnesium Bisglycinate to support nervous system balance and sleep
-
Magnesium can be taken either during the day or in the evening.
Some people prefer evening intake because magnesium helps regulate nervous system activity and muscle relaxation, which may support sleep quality. Others prefer taking it during the day to support energy metabolism and muscle recovery.
Both approaches are effective, consistency is what matters most.
-
High doses of certain forms, such as magnesium oxide or large amounts of citrate, may cause digestive discomfort.
AVEA Magnesium Complex uses balanced amounts of highly bioavailable magnesium forms designed to maximise absorption while remaining gentle on the digestive system.

Magnesium plays a role in more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including processes involved in nervous system regulation, muscle function, cellular energy production, and metabolic balance.
However, modern diets often provide less magnesium than the body requires. Soil depletion, food processing, and increased physiological demands from stress, exercise, and poor sleep can all contribute to lower magnesium intake and higher magnesium utilisation.
For this reason, magnesium supplementation may be particularly beneficial for individuals who experience:
- poor sleep or difficulty relaxing
- muscle tension or slow physical recovery
- fatigue or low daytime energy
- high stress levels or demanding lifestyles
Maintaining adequate magnesium levels is increasingly recognised as an important foundation for sleep quality, physical recovery, and long-term metabolic health.
- poor sleep or difficulty relaxing
-
Yes. Magnesium plays a central role in energy production, nervous system regulation, and muscle function, which makes it a versatile complement to many longevity-focused nutrients.
Depending on your goals, Magnesium Complex can be combined with other AVEA formulations to support specific areas of health:
