Magnesium malate (1050 mg per 4-capsule dose) pairs magnesium with malic acid, an intermediate in the Krebs cycle involved in cellular energy production, making it a particularly relevant form for energy metabolism and reducing tiredness. Magnesium bisglycinate TRAACS (1020 mg per dose), an Albion Laboratories patent, is chelated with glycine, an amino acid with calming properties; this form offers excellent bioavailability and remarkable digestive tolerance, with a natural affinity for the nervous system.

Magnesium L-threonate Magtein (1000 mg per dose), under licence from ThreoTech LLC, is the only magnesium form shown to cross the blood-brain barrier, making it a leading candidate for supporting cognitive function.

Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, essential to energy metabolism, muscle contraction and relaxation, nerve transmission, protein and DNA synthesis, and bone health. The SU.VI.MAX study found that over 70% of the French population has intakes below nutritional recommendations. Signs of insufficient magnesium intake can include persistent tiredness, muscle tension, irritability, sleep disturbances or an eye twitch.

The multi-form approach of the Complex 360 targets several parts of the body at once — nervous system, muscles, brain, energy metabolism — where a single-form supplement can only act partially.

Take 4 capsules a day with a large glass of water, ideally with meals for the best digestive tolerance; intake can be split (2 capsules morning, 2 evening) to keep magnesium levels stable throughout the day. It can be taken in the morning to support energy and metabolism, or in the evening to support relaxation and sleep quality. A 120-capsule bottle covers a 30-day course at the recommended dose.

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose of 4 capsules. People with kidney impairment should consult their doctor before any magnesium supplementation, as excess magnesium is cleared by the kidneys and impaired kidney function can lead to build-up. Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women without prior medical advice. If you are on medication, particularly antibiotics (quinolones, tetracyclines), bisphosphonates or diuretics, consult a healthcare professional, as magnesium can affect the absorption of some medicines. Store in a dry place, away from heat and light. Keep out of reach of young children. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet.

What is the best form of magnesium?

There’s no single universally superior form — each has specific strengths: bisglycinate is known for its affinity with the nervous system and good digestive tolerance, malate for its contribution to energy metabolism, citrate for supporting transit, taurate for cardiovascular health, and threonate for cognitive support. The advantage of Dynveo’s Magnesium Complex 360 is combining three patented forms to cover the full range of needs; our team at Herba Barona in Paris 12 can help you choose the right magnesium for your situation.

Can magnesium be taken continuously?

Yes, magnesium can be taken continuously, as there’s no risk of build-up in healthy people with normal kidney function — excess magnesium is naturally cleared by the kidneys. In France, where dietary magnesium intake is often insufficient, regular supplementation can help maintain optimal levels; people with kidney impairment should consult their doctor before supplementing.

Is the Magnesium Complex 360 suitable for athletes?

Athletes have increased magnesium needs due to losses through sweat, intense energy metabolism and muscle demands. Magnesium is essential for muscle contraction and relaxation, ATP production and preventing muscle tension. With its three bioavailable magnesium forms, the Complex 360 offers comprehensive coverage for an athlete’s needs.
