Magnesium Capsules
Why Choose Magnesium Capsules?
Magnesium in capsule form consists of an outer coating or shell containing the active ingredient(s) and any fillers. The medicinal ingredients (and any fillers) can be in the form of a powder, liquid, paste, or suspension. Capsules are a convenient delivery method because they conceal unpleasant tastes or textures. They also offer other distinct advantages such as being smaller and easier to swallow than tablets, as well as tasteless, which makes them more palatable for many consumers. Higher-end magnesium supplements also feature standardized capsules, which are convenient because they offer precise dosing. However, it’s important to note that isn’t always the case, so read labels carefully. As far as practicality goes, consider too that capsules are more tamper-resistant than tablets, making them easier to throw into your purse or gym back and bring along wherever you go.
On the flip side, Magnesium capsules are more expensive and less stable than tablets and are often not in the most bioavailable form. In addition, they provide less active ingredient(s) than a tablet the same size, so you may need to take more capsules to get the dose you’re looking for. Also worth noting is the fact that many magnesium supplements come in capsules which feature animal-sourced gelatin (porcine, bovine, or fish), so may not be suitable for everyone. Of course, veggie caps are also available but are pricier.
Magnesium Capsule Absorption
Magnesium capsules typically offer superior bioavailability, which means that more of the active ingredient(s) enters the bloodstream, making them more effective than tablet forms. Further, because capsules (both gelatin and veggie caps) are broken down quickly in the digestive tract, they are also faster acting than tablets, so you should notice effects more rapidly.
Magnesium Capsule Benefits
Magnesium capsules offer excellent bioavailability and absorption, but this will also be a function of the form of magnesium in question. Capsules are easier to swallow, faster acting than tablets, and tasteless.
Magnesium Capsule Dosing
Capsules offer poor dosing flexibility since it’s next to impossible to measure out a precise alternative dose.
Magnesium Capsule Storage
Capsules are more vulnerable to light, heat, moisture, humidity, and temperature extremes, as well as have a shorter shelf life than tablets.
Magnesium Capsule Excipients
Most capsules use fillers. The most common of these include cellulose, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, carrageenan, titanium dioxide, as well as artificial colours and flavours. Read labels carefully to know what you’re putting inside your body.
MAGNESIUM CAPSULE POTENCY & FORMATS
Potency
Magnesium capsules are offered in different doses and the recommended daily intake is in the 200 – 420 mg range. You may need a higher dose if you’re taking magnesium to address a particular health condition.
Formats
There are different types of capsules; soft gel, hard gel, vegan, and enteric-coated, among others. Each has its advantages and drawbacks and each lends itself particularly well to certain ingredients. Soft gels are used for liquids, hard gels are ideal for powdered or granulated ingredients, and enteric-coated capsules are ideal for ingredients that need to be activated by acid exposure because they do not dissolve in the mouth.
Getting The Most Out of Your Supplement
Naturopaths often suggest taking your magnesium supplement in the evening, because it helps relax the body and the mind. Try taking magnesium one to two hours before bed. Since certain forms of magnesium have a laxative effect, try to have your magnesium with food, or opt for a non-laxative form such as bisglycinate which is milder on the stomach.
