Good price for a nice complex of magnesium compounds. One of the better magnesium supplements on the market.
I buy this product time and again. I definitely notice a difference if I've skipped it for a while, like now. So, I'll be ordering some more soon!
Very nice product. I take two every evening before going to bed. As a result, I feel more relaxed.
Excellent products, swiftly delivered

Vitakruid Magnesium 200 complex - Mineral, vitamin and amino acid supplement
Magnesium is fundamental to over 300 biochemical processes in our body. An inadequate magnesium balance can therefore manifest in numerous ways. This is why we've decided to unite all the organic magnesium forms we offer separately into one supplement. In doing so, we combine the specific applications of the different forms, making the Magnesium Complex a versatile supplement.
Magnesium bisglycinate is a compound of magnesium and two (bis) molecules of the amino acid glycine. Magnesium taurate is a combination of the amino acid-like substance l-taurine and magnesium. The bonds to l-taurine and glycine make it easier for the magnesium to cross the blood-brain barrier. Subsequently, the absorption in the brain tissue of magnesium taurate and bisglycinate is better than that of other magnesium forms.
Magnesium malate is a compound of magnesium and malic acid; magnesium citrate is, in turn, bound to citric acid. Both acids are part of the so-called citric acid cycle. This biochemical system is responsible for the majority of the energy our body produces in the cells. Moreover, research shows that our muscle tissue absorbs magnesium malate and citrate relatively well compared to other magnesium compounds.
Organic and chelated forms
Magnesium malate, taurate, bisglycinate, and citrate are organically bound forms of magnesium. Inorganic magnesium forms such as magnesium chloride, magnesium oxide, and magnesium sulfate are less bioavailable and thus less well absorbed. For instance, magnesium sulfate has a bioavailability of only 4%. This means that a dosage of 200 mg magnesium sulfate is effective for a mere 8 mg.
Our daily diet generally contains inorganically bound magnesium. These are the forms found in the soil and absorbed by the plants we eat daily. Examples include magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate. Our body thus absorbs only a small portion of the magnesium we get from regular food.
The best forms we know are magnesium chelates such as magnesium taurate, magnesium malate, and magnesium bisglycinate. The structure of an amino acid chelate is so strong that our stomach acid cannot split the form. This is due to the amino acids in the chelate form, which act as a protective layer for the magnesium. Magnesium bisglycinate thus reaches our intestines as a complete element, where our body then absorbs the valuable mineral. Furthermore, the amino acid-chelated nature results in fewer stomach and intestinal complaints compared to non-chelated magnesium forms.
Vitamin B6 as pyridoxal-5-phosphate
Vitamin B6 improves the absorption of magnesium. Additionally, the vitamin has many scientifically proven health-promoting effects on the body. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (the biologically active, co-enzymatic form of vitamin B6) has better bioavailability and is safer than pyridoxine. We use only the P-5-P form in our products.
- Magnesium plays a role in bone formation and the maintenance of strong bones.
- Magnesium is beneficial for brain function, mood, the cell division process, memory, learning performance, and concentration.
- Magnesium helps maintain normal protein synthesis, a good electrolyte balance, and a normal energy-yielding metabolism.
- Magnesium is important for strong teeth.
- Magnesium is good for the muscles and nervous system.
- Magnesium has a favourable influence on reducing fatigue and tiredness.
- Vitamin B6 is, among other things, good for the production of red blood cells, protein production, and cysteine production.

This magnesium also contains vitamin B. Is it problematic if you are also taking other vitamins with vitamin B, so that you end up consuming too much? Like the multivitamin for women 45.
On 13 january 2026 by Customer serviceThe Multi Women 45+ contains 4 mg of vitamin B6 in the bio-active, well-absorbable form of pyridoxal-5-phosphate. The Magnesium 200 also contains vitamin B6 in the form of pyridoxal-5-phosphate at 0.7 mg. This totals to 4.7 mg. This is still well below the 12 mg of vitamin B6 per day recommended by the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority). Therefore, you can easily combine the Multi Women 45+ with the magnesium complex.
Good afternoon, Can the magnesium complex tablet 200 be crushed or halved?
On 28 august 2024 by Customer serviceThe tablets of the Vitakruid Magnesium 200 complex can indeed be halved if you have difficulty swallowing the whole tablet. This can be done with a tablet splitter available at the pharmacy.
Crushing the tablets is also possible, but do bear in mind that the taste of the powder may not be pleasant. You can mix the crushed powder with a bit of water, juice, or yoghurt to make it easier to take.
Is the magnesium elemental weight or total magnesium?
On 26 june 2024 by Customer serviceThe stated amount of magnesium in the Vitakruid Magnesium 200 Complex refers to the total magnesium weight. This means that one dose (1 tablet) contains 50 mg of magnesium (taurate), 50 mg of magnesium (malate), 50 mg of magnesium (bisglycinate), and 50 mg of magnesium (citrate), making a total of 200 mg of magnesium.
So, when you look at the label, the amount of magnesium you see is the total amount of magnesium you are getting per dose. Should you have any further questions, please let us know via email.
Is there a similar magnesium available as a chewable tablet? I struggle with capsules and large pills.
On 22 september 2023 by Customer serviceYou could break the Magnesium 200 complex in half or crush it and mix it with juice, custard, or a smoothie, for example.
As a chewable tablet, we have the Vitaminstore Magnesium Chewable Tablet, which contains 3 different magnesium compounds; magnesium citrate, glycerophosphate, and malate. That could also serve as a good alternative.
Is there a difference between Solgar magnesium citrate and Vitakruid magnesium 200 complex? And if so, what exactly is it?
On 26 march 2023 by Customer serviceThe magnesium 200 complex, as the name suggests, is a blend of 4 different types of magnesium, supplemented with vitamin B6 and taurine for optimal absorption. This allows it to be effective in various areas of the body. Solgar's magnesium citrate contains only the form of magnesium citrate. Magnesium citrate is also a well-absorbed form of magnesium, primarily used for proper muscle function.
