Magnesium is key to relaxation and deep sleep
Customer Reviews
Element 12 Magnesium is a blend of 12 important nutrients designed to support relaxation, healthy nerve, muscle and mood function. Magnesium is present in over 400 biological functions within the body and a deficiency in this mineral can lead to muscle spasms and restless legs as well as mood imbalance and broken sleep.

Element 12 contains 3 different forms of magnesium – all of which offer excellent absorption and bioavailability meaning the body can easily utilise the magnesium provided; these forms are also gentle on the stomach.
Some magnesium complexes offer seemingly much higher amounts of magnesium, such as magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide – but these forms have poor bioavailability so you do not end up getting as much magnesium into the body as you do with the forms we have used in Element 12 Magnesium.
The three forms of magnesium we have used are magnesium citrate, magnesium orotate and magnesium amino acid chelate. An additional benefit of magnesium orotate is the orotic acid it is bound to have been shown to have heart health and energy benefits.
The remaining eleven nutrients act either as co-factors working to further support the body’s ability to utilise the magnesium or to independently add further relaxation support.
Vitamins D and B6 along with selenium are essential co-factors for magnesium utilisation. B-group vitamins (B1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 12 and folic acid) are well known to support our nervous system and are particularly useful during times of tension. While each of the B vitamins has a specific benefit they have been found to work best when taken together, collectively they are known as the ‘anti-stress’ vitamins.
To further support mood health we’ve included zinc and l-theanine. Zinc is an essential trace mineral that is found in all tissues and fluids in the human body; deficiency of zinc has been associated with a range of mood disorders. L-theanine is an amino acid found in green tea that helps with relaxation and quality sleep.

Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate
This form of magnesium is easily absorbed by the body and is especially good for the muscles and nerves. Magnesium chelate is also known to reduce acid indigestion and heartburn.
L-Theanine
Found naturally in green tea leaves, this amino acid can provide a range of health benefits including mental focus and sleep quality. It is also known for its relaxation effect.
