Magnesium Supplements Ireland | Glycinate & More

Magnesium is one of the most essential minerals in the human body — involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions and carrying fully authorised health claims under EU Commission Regulation 432/2012, including that it contributes to normal psychological function, normal nervous system function, normal muscle function, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. If you are comparing forms, the single most important number on any label is elemental magnesium per serving — not compound weight.

🏴 HSE Ireland reference: Typical daily needs — 300 mg/day men, 270 mg/day women (ages 19–64). More than 400 mg/day from supplements can cause diarrhoea. 400 mg/day or less is unlikely to cause harm for most adults. If you have kidney disease, are pregnant, or take regular medication, check with your GP or pharmacist first. HSE source →

Reference guides · Educational content · Not medical advice

When comparing products in this collection, check for:

01 Elemental magnesium per serving — not compound weight. A 500 mg magnesium glycinate tablet may only deliver 50–70 mg of actual magnesium. These are not the same number.

02 Clear serving instructions — how many tablets or capsules equal the stated dose, and whether the label shows the daily total clearly.

03 Tolerance — if you notice loose stools, you have exceeded your threshold. Reduce dose rather than stopping entirely. This is specifically flagged in HSE public guidance at higher supplemental intakes.

04 Compliant labelling — avoid products making disease treatment claims or unverifiable outcome guarantees. In Ireland, supplement claims must follow the EU nutrition and health claims framework. FSAI guidance →
