Organika Magnesium Taurate (180 VCaps)

Organika Magnesium Taurate is magnesium bound to the amino acid taurine, in vegetarian capsules taken 3 a day. Helps to maintain normal muscle function, including the heart muscle. A bottle of 180 capsules is a two-month supply.

What Organika Magnesium Taurate is licensed for

It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80146731. The licence lists three recommended uses:

• Helps to maintain normal muscle function, including the heart muscle.
• Helps in energy metabolism and tissue formation.
• Helps to maintain normal electrolyte balance.

What magnesium taurate is

Taurine is an amino acid found in high concentrations in heart and skeletal muscle tissue. Magnesium taurate joins the two, so each dose delivers magnesium in a form bound to taurine. Each capsule provides 40 mg of elemental magnesium, and the label dose of 3 capsules gives 120 mg a day.

The formula is magnesium taurate alone, without the magnesium oxide used in some other formulas to raise the number per capsule. That is why the dose is spread over three capsules. The rest of the capsule is a hypromellose shell, microcrystalline cellulose and vegetable-source magnesium stearate.

Which Organika magnesium suits you

Organika makes several magnesium formulas, and the difference is the partner molecule. Taurate is the one whose licence specifically names the heart muscle. Bisglycinate is the everyday all-rounder at 200 mg in one capsule, Malate is the highest single-capsule dose at 250 mg, and Magnesium Bisglycinate + Melatonin is the bedtime formula. If you want a lower, steady daily amount in a single form, taurate fits.

How to take it

Adults 19 and over take 3 capsules once a day. You can take them together. If you also use a multivitamin or another magnesium product, add the amounts together before you start.
