Power Health Magnesium Premium 5: five forms of magnesium in one capsule
The Platinum Magnesium Premium 5 from Power Health is a dietary supplement in 60 capsules, combining five different active forms of magnesium, citric, diglycine, taurine, carbonate and magnesium oxide, enhanced with vitamin B6 in active form. Each capsule provides 187.5mg of magnesium, i.e. 50% of the Recommended Daily Allowance, and 2.1mg of vitamin B6, i.e. 150% of the RDI.
It is aimed at people looking for a comprehensive magnesium formula and not a single form, either because they exercise systematically and are interested in muscle function, or because they have a demanding schedule and feel tired, or because they follow a diet poor in magnesium-rich foods.
Why the form of magnesium matters
Magnesium never circulates alone in a supplement. It is always bound to another molecule, an organic acid, an amino acid or an inorganic salt, and this molecule determines the solubility of the salt, its magnesium content and its digestive tolerance. Inorganic salts, such as oxide and carbonate, have a high magnesium content per milligram. Organic salts and chelates, such as citric and diglycine, are more soluble.
The rationale of a multi-formula is precisely this: instead of choosing one form with its own characteristics, it combines five so that the profile of the formulation does not depend on one salt. Magnesium participates in hundreds of enzymatic reactions in the body and modern dietary habits, with processed foods and fewer legumes, nuts and leafy greens, often do not easily cover the needs.
Ingredients one by one
- Magnesium 187.5mg per capsule (50% RDI). Contributes to normal muscle function, normal nervous system function, normal psychological function, normal protein synthesis, electrolyte balance, normal energy-yielding metabolism, maintenance of normal bone and teeth and reduction of tiredness and fatigue.*
- Citric magnesium. Organic salt of magnesium with citric acid, one of the most soluble forms and one of the most widely used in supplements.
- Diglycine magnesium. Chelated form, in which magnesium is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine.
- Taurine magnesium. Form in which magnesium is bound to taurine, an amino acid that occurs naturally in the body.
- Magnesium carbonate and magnesium oxide. Inorganic forms with high magnesium content per unit weight.
- Vitamin B6 2.1mg (150% RDI), as 5’-phosphopyridoxal. Contributes to the normal metabolism of proteins and glycogen, normal nervous system function, normal psychological function, regulation of hormonal activity and reduction of tiredness and fatigue.*
5’-phosphopyridoxal is the biologically active form of vitamin B6, i.e. the form in which pyridoxine is converted in the body.
Who is it suitable for
For adults who exercise systematically and want support for normal muscle function and electrolyte balance. For those with a busy work schedule looking for ingredients that contribute to reducing tiredness and fatigue and normal psychological function. For people who do not consume enough legumes, nuts, whole grain cereals and green vegetables. And for those who have tried single magnesium forms and prefer a multi-form formula. The product is suitable for vegans and contains no sugar, gluten or lactose.

Dosage and usage
Form: capsules
Content: 60 capsules
Recommended dosage: Adults, 1 to 2 capsules per day, preferably before a meal, as a dietary supplement or as directed by your doctor.

Frequently asked questions
How many capsules per day should I take?
The package instructions are 1 to 2 capsules daily. One capsule already covers 50% of the Recommended Daily Allowance of magnesium. If you are taking other magnesium supplements, add the quantities before increasing the dose.
Morning or evening, with or without food?
The label recommends taking preferably before a meal. The time of day is not specified, so choose the one that helps you to be consistent. If you take two capsules, you can divide them into two meals.
What is the difference from a simple magnesium with one form?
A classic preparation usually contains one form, for example only oxide or only citrate. Here five salts with different solubility and different magnesium content coexist, together with vitamin B6 in active form.
Can I combine it with vitamin D or calcium?
Combining magnesium with vitamin D or calcium is common. Just make sure not to exceed the recommended doses from all the supplements you take and ask your pharmacist about the intake schedule.
Is it suitable for vegans? Does it contain gluten or lactose?
Yes, it is suitable for vegans, as the capsule shell is of plant origin. It contains no sugar, gluten, lactose, preservatives or artificial colours.
I take it with medication, is there any caution?
If you are taking tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics, keep a distance of at least 2 hours from magnesium intake. In any case of medication, pregnancy or breastfeeding, consult first your doctor or pharmacist.
How long does a package last?
The package contains 60 capsules, i.e. 60 days with one capsule per day or 30 days with two.
