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, citrate, bisglycinate, taurate, 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 RDA.
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 content of elemental magnesium and its tolerance by the digestive system. Inorganic salts, such as oxide and carbonate, have a high content of elemental magnesium per gram. Organic salts and chelates, such as citrate and bisglycinate, are more soluble.
The rationale of a multi-form formula is precisely this: instead of choosing one form with its own characteristics, it combines five so that the profile of the preparation does not depend on a single salt. Magnesium participates in hundreds of enzymatic reactions in the body and modern dietary habits, with processed foods and fewer legumes, nuts, whole grains and leafy greens, often do not easily cover the needs.
Ingredients one by one
- Magnesium 187.5mg per capsule (50% RDA). Contributes to the normal functioning of muscles, the nervous system, normal psychological function, normal protein synthesis, electrolyte balance, normal energy-yielding metabolism, the maintenance of normal bones and teeth and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.*
- Magnesium citrate. An organic salt of magnesium with citric acid, one of the most soluble and widely used forms in supplements.
- Magnesium bisglycinate. A chelate in which magnesium is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine.
- Magnesium taurate. A 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 content of elemental magnesium per unit of weight.
- Vitamin B6 2.1mg (150% RDA), as 5'-phosphopyridine. Contributes to the normal metabolism of proteins and glycogen, to the normal functioning of the nervous system, to the normal psychological function, to the regulation of hormonal activity and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.*
The 5'-phosphopyridine is the biologically active form of vitamin B6, i.e. the form into 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 demanding work schedule who seek ingredients that contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal psychological function. For people who do not consume enough legumes, nuts, whole grain cereals and leafy greens. And for those who have tried single forms of magnesium and prefer a multi-form formula. The product is suitable for vegans and contains no sugar, gluten or lactose.

Frequently asked questions
How many capsules a day should I take?
The package instructions are 1 to 2 capsules per day. One capsule already covers 50% of the Recommended Daily Allowance of magnesium. If you are taking other magnesium preparations, 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 there are five salts with different solubility and different content of elemental magnesium, 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 preparations 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 fluoroquinolone antibiotics, keep a distance of at least 2 hours from taking magnesium. In any case of medication, pregnancy or breastfeeding, consult your doctor first.
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.
