Magnesium
Buy Magnesium – From Bisglycinate to a Multi-Source Complex
Magnesium is an essential mineral and, like calcium and potassium, belongs to the macro-minerals. Chemically it is an alkaline earth metal that is always present in the body as a positively charged ion (Mg²⁺). In this category you'll find various forms of magnesium from Scheunengut – from the organic compound bisglycinate to a complex of several sources, vegan and lab-tested.
Origin & Extraction
For food supplements, magnesium is usually obtained from mineral raw materials or seawater and then processed into defined salts. A distinction is made between inorganic compounds such as magnesium oxide and carbonate and organic ones such as magnesium citrate, malate and bisglycinate, which is bound to the amino acid glycine.
Standardisation & Format
The decisive factor is the content of elemental magnesium, which is transparently declared per serving. Magnesium is offered as a capsule, tablet and powder – sometimes as a single compound, sometimes as a complex of several minerals. Forms such as bisglycinate, citrate and malate are frequently combined; as a bound amino acid, bisglycinate points to the amino acids category.
What to Look For When Buying
- Transparently declared content of elemental magnesium per serving
- Origin and type of compound (inorganic or organic)
- Vegan and without unnecessary additives
- Independently lab-tested quality

Häufige Fragen zu Magnesium
What is magnesium important for?
Magnesium is involved in numerous metabolic processes and performs several approved functions at once. It contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal muscle function, to normal function of the nervous system, to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to normal psychological function. It also supports the maintenance of normal bones.
Which form of magnesium is right?
A distinction is made between inorganic forms such as magnesium oxide and carbonate, and organic forms such as magnesium citrate, malate and glycine-bound bisglycinate. Bisglycinate is considered particularly gentle on the stomach, while citrate is regarded as highly soluble. Many people also appreciate a complex made from several sources that combines different forms. Which one suits you depends on tolerance and preference.
What does the elemental magnesium content mean?
What matters is not the total weight of the compound, but the elemental magnesium content – that is, the actual pure mineral per serving. We declare exactly this value transparently. Our magnesium products are made in Germany, lab-tested and vegan, so you can meet your needs precisely and reliably.
When is the best time to take magnesium?
Magnesium fits flexibly into everyday life – as a capsule, tablet or powder to mix into a drink. Many people take it in the evening, since it contributes to normal muscle and nerve function. Ultimately, regular intake is what matters most. Simply choose the format that best suits your daily routine.
