Small capsules. Big jobs.

Whenever suits you, but most people make it part of their evening wind-down.

Want a proper evening ritual? Pair it with Sleepy Time, our 6-ingredient evening blend.

Yes, because vitamin C increases iron absorption. So we put 100mg of vitamin C in the same capsule. No second supplement, no glass of orange juice.

One capsule a day, and a pot lasts 6 months.

Yes, but they're best a couple of hours apart, as minerals can compete for absorption.

Iron in the morning (away from your coffee, which gets in the way of iron) and magnesium in the evening: the day shift and the night shift.

Yes, ours. Gentle iron bisglycinate with vitamin C in a plant-based capsule. No gelatine, no fillers, no magnesium stearate or silicon dioxide.

It's especially popular with vegetarians, vegans and anyone who eats little red meat.

It's one of the gentlest forms of magnesium, much less likely to upset your stomach than citrate or oxide.

But check the label: lots of "glycinate" products are buffered, secretly mixed with cheap magnesium oxide, which is the one known for sending you running to the loo. Ours is never buffered. Just pure magnesium glycinate.

Magnesium glycinate is magnesium bound to glycine, an amino acid, and one of the gentlest forms there is. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of your nervous system, normal psychological function, normal muscle function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Ours is one ingredient, pure magnesium glycinate, so all you're getting is the good stuff.

Look for four things: elemental magnesium on the label, no buffering, no fillers, and a capsule rather than a tablet. Tablets need binders and fillers to hold their shape. Capsules don't, so there's less in there that you don't need.

Ours ticks all four: 300mg of elemental magnesium per serving, pure glycinate in a vegan capsule, and no fillers, binders, flow agents, magnesium stearate or silicon dioxide. It's the thing our customers mention most.

The NHS recommends 300mg of magnesium a day for men and 270mg for women (ages 19 to 64). Two of our capsules give you 300mg of elemental magnesium, 80% of your daily NRV, and well within the UK's safe limit of 400mg a day from supplements.

Watch out for labels that look stronger than they are: many brands print the weight of the whole compound, so "1,000mg magnesium glycinate" sounds big but only gives you about 140mg of actual magnesium. We only show what your body actually gets.

The most common forms, ferrous sulphate and ferrous fumarate, are cheap but known for upsetting stomachs, and their labels can be misleading. A "200mg ferrous sulphate" tablet only gives you about 65mg of actual iron.

We use iron bisglycinate, a gentle form that's much kinder to your tummy, and we only show the actual iron you get: 20mg per capsule, no guessing.

And because there's vitamin C in every capsule, which increases iron absorption, it's not just about how much iron you take, it's how well your body can absorb it.

You don't need three or seven types of magnesium. "Complex" blends often bulk up the label with cheaper forms in small amounts. You need one good form at a proper dose. Here's how the common ones compare:

Oxide: the cheapest. Big number on the label, but poorly absorbed, and known for sending you running to the loo.
Carbonate: also cheap and poorly absorbed. Often found in antacids.
Sulphate: better known as Epsom salts. Great in the bath, but a strong laxative if you swallow it.
Citrate: better absorbed, but also known for its laxative effect.
Chloride: often used in sprays and flakes for your skin.
Malate and taurate: bound to malic acid or taurine. Popular in blends, often in small amounts.
Threonate: gives very little magnesium per capsule, which is why we use it as part of our Sleepy Time blend rather than as your main magnesium.

Glycinate (ours): magnesium bound to glycine, an amino acid. Known for being one of the gentlest, best-tolerated forms, easy on your stomach and the go-to for evening routines. That's why ours is just pure magnesium glycinate, 300mg of elemental magnesium per serving, with nothing else.
