MicroMag (Sucrosomial Magnesium)
MicroMag uses Sucrosomial technology which encapsulates the magnesium in a phospholipid bilayer, allowing it to bypass stomach acid and be absorbed directly in the intestines. This leads to significantly higher cellular magnesium levels than traditional chelates.
Quality & Materials
Sucrosomial Magnesium (Magnesio Sucrosomiale) providing 200mg elemental magnesium per capsule.
Evidence & Testing
Clinical studies on Sucrosomial Magnesium show it is 20% more bioavailable than magnesium citrate and significantly more effective at raising serum levels.
Brand Transparency
Nootropics Depot is famous for its in-house analytical lab (ISO certified) and provides some of the most detailed COAs in the industry.
Value Assessment
Excellent value given the high absorption rate; you effectively get more magnesium into your cells per dollar spent.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most 'high absorption' brands rely on glycine chelates, which are effective but can still cause GI distress at high doses. MicroMag's Sucrosomial delivery system is technically superior for those who cannot tolerate high-dose powders or large capsules.
