If you’re training hard, juggling work and family, or just want steadier energy and better recovery, Magnesium is one of the smartest daily habits you can build. It’s an essential mineral used in 300+ enzymatic reactions, touching everything from energy production and muscle function to the nervous system and bones. In the UK you’ll often see the following authorised magnesium claims on-pack:
Contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue
Contributes to electrolyte balance
Supports normal energy-yielding metabolism
Supports the normal functioning of the nervous system and muscles
Contributes to normal psychological function
Contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth
Our Fraction One Magnesium Gummies are designed for people who prefer a tasty, convenient format over tablets or capsules—simple to take, simple to stick with.
The Research-Backed Benefits
1) Beat everyday tiredness & support steady energy
Magnesium is central to ATP (your cells’ “energy currency”) and helps enzymes release energy from food. That’s why the EU permits the claim “contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.” If your diet is light on nuts, seeds, legumes or greens—or training is heavy—topping up can help.
2) Muscles, nerves, and electrolytes
Magnesium helps your muscles contract and relax and keeps nerve signalling working smoothly. It’s also a core electrolyte alongside sodium and potassium, so it’s relevant for athletes and anyone sweating more than usual.
3) Heart & blood pressure (modest but meaningful)
Large meta-analyses of randomised trials report small average reductions in blood pressure with oral magnesium (roughly –2 to –3 mmHg systolic and –1 to –2 mmHg diastolic in typical study doses and durations). That’s modest, but across a population it matters—especially if your diet is low in magnesium. (Always keep your GP in the loop if you’re treating high blood pressure.)
4) Headache & migraine (selected use)
Clinical guidelines and headache charities note magnesium (often magnesium oxide) as an option for migraine prevention for some people. It isn’t a cure-all and dosing/forms vary, but it’s a conversation to have with your clinician if you’re a migraineur.
Why a Gummy?
Consistency wins. The “best” supplement is the one you actually take. Gummies are easy, portable, and taste good—so adherence improves.
Gentle on the stomach (form-dependent). Some magnesium forms (for example, certain organic salts like glycinate or citrate) are typically better tolerated than others; always read your label and start with the suggested serving.
No water or pills required. Ideal at your desk, in your gym bag, or on the go.
Who Might Benefit From Topping Up?
Athletes & heavy sweaters: To support electrolyte balance and normal muscle function.
Diet patterns light on nuts, seeds, legumes, wholegrains, or greens: Common in busy lifestyles. (Check NHS/EFSA dietary guidance if unsure.)
People exploring adjuncts for migraines: Under clinician guidance only.
Frequently Asked
Q: Can magnesium improve sleep or stress? A: Some small trials suggest possible benefits, but evidence is mixed and not an EU-authorised claim. If sleep or stress is your goal, consider broader sleep hygiene and talk to your clinician about whether magnesium fits your plan.
Q: What’s the “best” form of magnesium? A: It depends on tolerance and goals. Some forms are gentler on digestion; others (like certain salts) can have a laxative effect at higher intakes. Focus first on meeting daily needs consistently with a form you tolerate and a dose that fits EFSA/NHS guidance.
Q: How fast will I feel something? A: Minerals are about foundations, not quick fixes. Most people take magnesium for its long-term support of normal physiological functions (energy metabolism, muscles, nerves, bones) rather than an immediate “kick.”
