Frequently Asked Questions

What does magnesium do for stress?

Magnesium supports the body's stress response by helping regulate the nervous system and the neurotransmitters involved in relaxation. Low magnesium is associated with feeling more tense, which is why adequate intake supports a sense of calm. Trio Nutrition Magximum uses magnesium glycinate, a gentle form often chosen for daytime or evening calm.*

Can magnesium help with relaxation 24/7?

Yes. Magnesium supports normal nervous system function and the neurotransmitters involved in relaxation, helping the body manage everyday stress during the day and naturally wind down at night. Magnesium is not a sedative. Trio Nutrition Magximum features magnesium glycinate, a gentle, highly absorbable form of magnesium well suited for daily use and an evening relaxation routine.*

Can magnesium be taken daily?

Yes. Most healthy adults can take magnesium daily. According to the NIH, adult men need 400–420 mg and adult women need 310–320 mg of magnesium per day from all sources, including food, beverages, and supplements. Trio Nutrition Magximum uses a flexible Quarter-Turn approach, with each capsule providing 25% of the Daily Value of magnesium, vitamin D3, and vitamin K2. A two-capsule serving provides 210 mg of gentle, well-absorbed magnesium glycinate, allowing intake to be adjusted in measured increments based on individual needs and a healthcare provider’s guidance.*

Why is magnesium taken with vitamin D3 and K2?

Magnesium, vitamin D3, and vitamin K2 are combined because the three nutrients work together: vitamin D3 supports calcium absorption, vitamin K2 helps move calcium into bone, and magnesium is a cofactor the body uses to convert vitamin D to an active form. Taking the three together supports bone and muscle health more completely than any one alone. Trio Nutrition Magximum brings all three together in one capsule.*

Does magnesium help mood?

Magnesium supports mood by contributing to normal neurotransmitter function and a balanced stress response. Magnesium is not a treatment for depression or anxiety, but adequate magnesium supports the body's baseline emotional balance. Trio Nutrition Magximum supplies magnesium glycinate to support a baseline of emotional balance as part of a healthy routine.*
