Applied Nutrition Magnesium Solutions Effervescent Tablets are a lemon-flavoured magnesium supplement, supplied as 20 tablets that dissolve in water rather than being swallowed. Each tablet provides 300mg of magnesium, which contributes to normal muscle function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, in a zero-sugar, low-calorie drink that offers an alternative for anyone who finds swallowing tablets difficult.

Key Features

• Tri-source magnesium: Each tablet delivers 300mg of magnesium from magnesium salts of citric acid, magnesium carbonates and magnesium oxide, which contributes to normal muscle function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Dissolves in water: The tablet dissolves in 300-500ml of water to make a drink, rather than being swallowed as a solid tablet.
• Zero sugar and low calorie: The formula contains no added sugar and is low in calories, sweetened with sucralose instead.
• Informed-Sport tested: Applied Nutrition has this product tested through the Informed-Sport programme, so each batch is screened for substances banned in sport.

How much magnesium is in each tablet, and how does that compare to my daily needs?

Each tablet provides 300mg of magnesium. For comparison, the NHS recommends adults get around 300mg a day for men and 270mg a day for women from their overall diet, and advises that supplement intake of magnesium above 400mg a day can cause diarrhoea. This product is designed as a top-up, not a replacement for magnesium obtained through a varied, balanced diet.

What does Informed-Sport tested mean for this product?

Applied Nutrition has this product tested through the Informed-Sport programme, which independently tests every batch of certified sports supplements for substances banned in sport before it reaches the market. This gives competitive athletes added assurance that the product complies with anti-doping rules.

Is this product suitable for vegans?

Applied Nutrition confirms this product is suitable for vegetarians. The manufacturer does not make a specific vegan claim for this product, so vegan customers who need certainty should check directly with Applied Nutrition or look for vegan-specific labelling.

This product is not suitable for anyone under the age of 16.

• Do not exceed the recommended daily dose of one tablet (300mg of magnesium); taking more than 400mg of magnesium a day from supplements can cause diarrhoea, according to NHS guidance.
• Do not use if the tamper seal on the tube is broken or missing.
• This supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet.

Magnesium supplements are generally well tolerated within the recommended dose. According to NHS guidance, taking more than 400mg of magnesium a day from supplements can cause diarrhoea; each tablet of this product provides 300mg, so exceeding the stated daily dose is the main way this could happen. There is not enough evidence to know the effects of taking high doses of magnesium over a long period.
