Magnesium

Q: When will I notice the benefits of a Magnesium supplement?

Everyone is different, but taking magnesium consistently contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and normal psychological function. When preparing for conception, we recommend taking it daily for at least three months to cover the egg maturation and sperm development cycles.

Q: Can magnesium support IVF success or embryo implantation?

There is currently no evidence that magnesium directly improves IVF success or embryo implantation, and it is not a treatment for infertility. However, it plays a supportive role in several areas relevant to a healthy IVF journey: • Stress and wellbeing: magnesium contributes to normal psychological function and the normal functioning of the nervous system, which may help support you through the stress of treatment. • Energy: magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal energy-yielding metabolism. • Cellular health: magnesium has a role in the process of cell division and is involved in over 300 enzymatic processes in the body. Although more research is needed in this specific context, magnesium is commonly included in fertility nutrition protocols for its broad role in overall wellbeing. If you are undergoing IVF, check with your clinic before starting any new supplement.

Q: Can I decant the vitamins into a pill pot?

No, we recommend keeping the vitamins in their original glass jar. Our packaging is designed to protect the product quality. The glass jar, together with the desiccant and tightly sealed lid, helps prevent moisture and oxidation. Decanting into another container (like a pill pot) can expose the vitamins to air and humidity, which may cause colour changes and reduce their effectiveness.

Q: Can marine Magnesium cause digestive issues?

Marine magnesium is generally well tolerated; if you experience mild looseness of stool, reduce to one capsule daily and build up to two.

Q: Is it safe to take Magnesium with other Zita West supplements?

Yes, this formula pairs well with multivitamins like Vitafem or Vitamen.

Q: What are the best dietary sources of magnesium for fertility support?

Magnesium is found in a variety of wholefoods that can be easily included in a fertility-friendly diet. Top sources include: • Leafy green vegetables – such as spinach and Swiss chard • Nuts and seeds – especially almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds • Whole grains – like brown rice, quinoa, and oats • Legumes – including black beans, lentils, and chickpeas • Dark chocolate – with high cocoa content (70%+) • Avocados and bananas Including these foods regularly can help maintain healthy magnesium levels, which are important for hormone regulation, stress management, and reproductive wellbeing.

Q: How does magnesium support hormone balance related to conception?

Magnesium contributes to hormone balance in several key ways: • Supports adrenal function by helping to regulate cortisol (the body’s main stress hormone), which may reduce stress-related hormonal disruption. • Contributes to the metabolism of oestrogen and the synthesis of progesterone, both vital hormones for ovulation and menstrual cycle regulation. • Helps calm the nervous system, supporting the mind-body connection that plays a role in reproductive health. By supporting these interconnected systems, magnesium helps create a more balanced hormonal environment that is favourable for conception.

Q: What is the recommended daily magnesium intake for ovulation health?

The NHS reference nutrient intake (RNI) for magnesium is: • 270mg per day for adult women • 300mg per day for adult men Magnesium needs may increase during times of stress or hormonal change, such as during ovulation or preconception. The Zita West Magnesium formula provides 250mg of bioavailable magnesium per daily serving, supporting your body’s needs during this critical phase of the fertility cycle. While food sources are important, supplementation can help bridge any nutritional gaps, especially when higher levels of stress or dietary restrictions are present.

Q: How does Magnesium support fertility?

Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal psychological function and to the normal functioning of the nervous system. If you are experiencing high stress or low energy while trying to conceive, Magnesium can be a helpful addition to your daily routine.

Q: What is marine sourced Magnesium?

Marine Magnesium is extracted from seawater and contains natural cofactors, like calcium, potassium and trace elements, that aid absorption and cellular uptake more effectively than isolated forms.

Product Details

Zita West Magnesium is a natural, marine-derived formula delivering highly absorbable Magnesium and trace minerals. Sourced from Irish sea water, Aquamin® TG Marine Magnesium contains natural cofactors including Calcium, Potassium and trace elements that may support absorption and cellular uptake.

Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function, normal hormonal activity and normal nervous system function, all of which are relevant to the nutritional demands of the preconception period. For both men and women, Magnesium contributes to normal hormonal activity and supports the body during periods of stress, as well as contributing to normal muscle function.

Magnesium has been studied in the context of glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity, making it of particular research interest for women with PMOS (formerly known as PCOS), where Magnesium levels are often found to be lower.

Who Is This For?

Magnesium is designed for:

Women and men trying to conceive who are experiencing high stress, irregular cycles or low energy
Women with PMOS (PCOS) looking to support insulin sensitivity and hormonal balance
Those looking to support healthy hormone function during preconception
Anyone wanting a highly absorbable, well-tolerated form of Magnesium

How To Take

Take two capsules daily with water and food, ideally splitting the dose across the day to enhance absorption.

Zita West packaging has been designed to maintain product quality. We recommend keeping all capsules in their original jars, instead of decanting into a pill pot. Store them somewhere cool, dry and away from direct sunlight in temperatures below 25°C.
