Vitabiotics Ultra Magnesium Premium Quality – 60 Tablets

What Are Magnesium Tablets UK and How Do They Help?

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals your body relies on every single day. It plays a role in hundreds of biochemical processes — from keeping your muscles working properly to supporting your nervous system and helping you feel less tired. Yet many people in the UK simply don't get enough of it through diet alone. That's where magnesium tablets UK like Vitabiotics Ultra Magnesium come in. Available from our vitamins and supplements range at Cured Pharmacy, this 60-tablet pack offers a convenient, affordable way to top up your intake for just £4.90.

Vitabiotics is a well-established UK supplement brand, and their Ultra Magnesium formula provides magnesium in two forms — magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate — to support absorption. Each tablet is designed to contribute to normal muscle function, energy-yielding metabolism, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, as recognised by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

How Does Vitabiotics Ultra Magnesium Work in the Body?

Magnesium acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in energy production, protein synthesis, and DNA repair. When you take a magnesium supplement, the mineral is absorbed through the small intestine and distributed to tissues throughout the body, including muscle, bone, and the brain. Here's what it contributes to:

• Normal muscle contraction and relaxation — important for preventing cramps
• Normal functioning of the nervous system
• Reduction of tiredness and fatigue
• Normal energy-yielding metabolism
• Maintenance of normal bones and teeth
• Normal protein synthesis

Magnesium citrate, one of the forms used in this product, tends to be well absorbed compared to some other magnesium salts, making it a practical choice for daily supplementation.

Who Should Consider Using Vitabiotics Ultra Magnesium?

This supplement is suitable for adults who feel they may not be getting enough magnesium through their diet. Certain groups are more likely to have lower magnesium levels, including people with high-stress lifestyles, those who exercise regularly, older adults, and individuals with digestive conditions that affect nutrient absorption. It may also be useful if you frequently experience muscle cramps, low energy, or disrupted sleep.

• Adults with dietary gaps in magnesium intake
• People experiencing persistent tiredness or low energy
• Those who exercise frequently and experience muscle cramps
• Older adults, who may absorb magnesium less efficiently

It is not intended for children unless specifically directed by a healthcare professional. Always read the label before use.

This product is a food supplement, not a medicine. However, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

What Is Vitabiotics Ultra Magnesium and What Is It Used For?

Vitabiotics Ultra Magnesium is an oral food supplement providing magnesium in two complementary forms: magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate. It is used to help maintain adequate magnesium levels in adults who may not be getting sufficient amounts through their diet. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, the normal functioning of the nervous system, normal energy-yielding metabolism, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It also supports the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and plays a role in normal protein synthesis.

Low magnesium intake is relatively common in the UK. Dietary sources include green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, and wholegrains — but busy lifestyles, processed food diets, and certain health conditions can all reduce how much magnesium you actually absorb. This supplement offers a straightforward, once-daily way to bridge that gap.

What Do You Need to Know Before Using Vitabiotics Ultra Magnesium?

Before starting any supplement, it's worth checking whether it's right for you. Do not take this product if any of the following apply:

• You have kidney disease or impaired renal function — excess magnesium cannot be excreted efficiently
• You have been diagnosed with hypermagnesaemia (elevated magnesium levels)
• You are allergic or hypersensitive to any ingredient in the product
• You are under 18 years of age (unless advised by a healthcare professional)

The following medicines may interact with magnesium supplements. Speak to your pharmacist or GP if you take any of these:

• Bisphosphonates (e.g. alendronic acid) — magnesium can reduce their absorption
• Tetracycline antibiotics (e.g. doxycycline) — absorption of both may be reduced if taken together
• Certain diuretics (water tablets) — some increase magnesium loss, others reduce it
• Proton pump inhibitors (e.g. omeprazole) — long-term use may lower magnesium levels further

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your GP or midwife before taking this supplement.

How Should You Use Vitabiotics Ultra Magnesium?

Using this supplement correctly helps ensure you get the most benefit while minimising any risk of side effects. Follow these steps:

1. Take one tablet daily with a main meal — food helps improve absorption and reduces the chance of stomach discomfort
2. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water
3. Try to take it at the same time each day to build a consistent routine
4. Do not take more than the recommended daily dose
5. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember — but skip it if your next dose is due soon

What Are the Possible Side Effects of Vitabiotics Ultra Magnesium?

At the recommended dose, side effects are uncommon. However, as with any supplement, some people may experience mild reactions, particularly when first starting. If you're also exploring options for digestive comfort, our IBS and cramps range may be worth browsing alongside your magnesium supplementation.

Common side effects (may affect some users):

• Loose stools or mild diarrhoea — particularly if the dose is too high
• Mild stomach discomfort or nausea

Less common side effects (rare at recommended doses):

• Abdominal cramping
• Flatulence

Signs of excessive magnesium intake (hypermagnesaemia) — which is very unlikely at standard supplement doses but more of a risk in people with kidney problems — can include nausea, low blood pressure, and muscle weakness. Seek medical advice immediately if you experience these symptoms.

How Should You Store Vitabiotics Ultra Magnesium?

• Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place
• Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture
• Keep out of the reach and sight of children
