Why Ethical Nutrition
How our magnesium is made
Four stages take each form from raw ingredients to a finished capsule.
-
ChelationMagnesium reacts with its carrier, forming the 100% chelated compound used in each formula.
-
FiltrationOnce the reaction is complete, the chelated magnesium is separated, purified and dried into a fine powder.
-
EncapsulationThe powder is blended and filled into vegan capsules, without unnecessary fillers or binders.
-
Final productFully chelated magnesium, packed in recyclable, plastic-free materials.
What does 100% chelated mean?
Chelation is the way magnesium binds to another molecule. In our range, that carrier is glycine, malic acid or taurine. Our magnesium is 100% chelated, rather than blended or buffered with magnesium oxide.
