Magnesium Complex 6-in-1 Supplement with Zinc

Our 6-in-1 magnesium complex combines 6 types of magnesium - with different uptake pathways to increase absorption - with zinc, vitamin D, and vitamin B6 to support multiple essential functions. Magnesium itself contributes to muscle relaxation, nerve function, energy production and electrolyte balance. Zinc supports immune health and normal testosterone levels, while vitamin D maintains calcium absorption for bone strength. Vitamin B6 helps magnesium work efficiently in the body and supports energy metabolism and nervous system function. Together, they help reduce tiredness, maintain normal muscle function, and support healthy bones, mood, and immunity.

People with kidney disease, severe heart block, or myasthenia gravis should avoid magnesium supplements unless advised by a doctor. If you are taking antibiotics, bisphosphonates, or certain diuretics you should speak to your doctor or a qualified pharmacist first, as magnesium reduces the absorption of these medications. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also check with their GP before starting magnesium supplements.

Magnesium glycinate is typically chosen to support better sleep, thanks to its excellent absorption and gentle digestion which make it ideal for people wanting support for anxiety or muscle relaxation. A magnesium complex, by contrast, provides maximum absorption thanks to the various forms of magnesium that can be absorbed via different uptake pathways. It also offers broader nutritional support, with partner nutrients that work with magnesium in the body. VitaBright’s 6-in-1 magnesium complex, for example, combines magnesium with zinc, vitamin D, and B6 which can power up its benefits for immunity, bone health and energy production. The best option depends on your goals: glycinate for calm and sleep, or complex for all-round daily support.

You can take a magnesium complex at any time of day, but many people prefer taking it in the evening because magnesium has a naturally calming effect on the nervous system and muscles. If your main goal is to support energy or immunity, morning or lunchtime may be more suitable. Always take it with food for best absorption.

Yes, it can be helpful for several types of headache. Magnesium plays a role in blood vessel tone and nerve function, and low magnesium levels have been linked to headaches and migraines in some people. Supplements may help reduce the frequency of migraines, particularly in people with known magnesium deficiency or those whose migraines are triggered by hormonal changes or stress.

Magnesium supports normal blood glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Low magnesium levels are common in people with type 2 diabetes due to increased urinary losses, and correcting this may help improve glucose control. However, people with diabetes should always check with their GP before starting supplements, especially if taking medication that affects kidney function or electrolyte balance.

For most people, yes. A daily magnesium supplement is safe at recommended dosages, typically up to 400 mg of elemental magnesium per day from supplements. Regular intake helps maintain steady magnesium levels, which support normal nerve, muscle, and energy function. Exceeding this can cause diarrhoea or stomach upset, so it’s important not to overdo it.

Yes, if you want comprehensive nutritional support rather than magnesium alone. The addition of vitamin D, zinc, and vitamin B6 means the complex supports bones, immune health, hormones, and energy production as well as muscle and nerve function. It’s especially useful during times of stress, fatigue, or increased physical demand.

It can. Magnesium contributes to normal nervous system function and helps muscles relax, which supports a calmer state before bedtime. Vitamin B6 also supports the production of serotonin and melatonin, hormones involved in sleep regulation. While not a sedative, magnesium complex may improve sleep quality if low magnesium levels are contributing to restlessness or difficulty switching off.

Magnesium can reduce absorption of certain medications, including tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics, bisphosphonates (for bone health), and thyroid hormone replacements. It’s best to take these medicines at least two hours before or four hours after magnesium. Avoid combining magnesium with very high doses of calcium or iron supplements at the same time, as they can compete for absorption.

The muscles, heart, and nervous system depend most heavily on magnesium. The heart in particular relies on magnesium for normal rhythm and electrical stability, while muscles need it for contraction and relaxation. The brain also requires magnesium for neurotransmitter regulation and healthy nerve signalling.

At normal doses, magnesium is well tolerated. Taking too much can cause diarrhoea, nausea, or abdominal cramps. Extremely high intakes — usually only from excessive supplementation or in people with kidney problems — can lead to dangerously high blood magnesium levels (hypermagnesaemia), which can cause weakness, low blood pressure, or heart rhythm disturbances.

Yes, provided you check with your doctor or midwife first. Magnesium is essential during pregnancy for muscle relaxation, nerve function, and bone development. It may help reduce leg cramps and support blood pressure regulation. The magnesium complex also provides vitamin D and B6, both beneficial for maternal and foetal health.
