Essential Magnesium is a premium five-source magnesium supplement available in the UK. Essential Mg combines five highly bioavailable forms of magnesium to deliver pure, optimally absorbable magnesium without the gut upset commonly associated with inferior forms.
Quick Benefits
- Supports cardiovascular health and healthy heart function.
- Enhances muscular function, contraction and recovery.
- Helps increase energy and reduce fatigue (ATP activation).
- Supports nerve function, protein synthesis and carbohydrate metabolism.
Backed by our 100% Quality Satisfaction Guarantee. We ensure every capsule meets our strict standards for purity.
This formula works alongside nutrients like vitamin d to support bone density. Essential Mg provides the balance needed for total body health and wellness.
While many athletes use protein powder for muscle repair, magnesium is vital for the underlying synthesis. It helps rebuild muscle tissue after hard workouts.
Why Our Five-Source Magnesium Supplement is Different
Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems. Most supplements rely on one cheap, poorly absorbed form. Our formula uses five distinct types.
- Magnesium Bisglycinate — Chelated to glycine for high absorption. It is gentle on the stomach with less chance of a laxative effect.
- Magnesium Succinate — Chelated to succinic acid. This supports energy metabolism (Krebs cycle) with high elemental magnesium content.
- Magnesium Citrate — Chelated to citric acid. This Krebs cycle intermediate is widely used for energy support and replenishment.
- Magnesium Malate — Chelated to malic acid. This form is often chosen for fatigue support and enhanced exercise performance.
- Magnesium Taurinate — Bonded to taurine for heart and muscle function. It is often called the “heart health” magnesium form.
Choosing a diverse formula ensures your body accesses different pathways. This approach allows for total systemic absorption and improved utility in cells.

Let customers speak for us
Extremely useful to use whilst cycling, removes the faff of opening gels whilst cycling and the solid bottle makes it easy to get in / out of jersey pockets.
Brilliant product - i use these in all my endurance events - some lasting up to 20 hours. These are great to ensure you get the required electrolytes without over hydrating.
Great service and the products are amazing, especially for endurance sports. I'm a big fan of the Endrolytes Electrolyte Caps. Their magnesium supplement and vitamin D are also very very good! I would highly recommend.
I’ve used Hammer products for around 6 years now & my favourite by a mile is the hammer Perpetuem, it’s fueled my last 100 mile ultra marathon not to mention multiple long distance triathlon's . It has 180calories per serving and it’s 34g of carbs & 5g of protein seems to work well . I’d strongly recommend for anyone who wants to take on ultra races as this fuel will support you when you need it most .
I started using Hammer Heed and Perpetuem 5 years ago and it's been such a game changer for my. Finding nutrition you can trust is so important for any athlete and I highly recommend Hammer Nutrition for any distance and any sport.
I couldnt race without hammer products. Heed is my favourite, such an amazing product. Paired with the gels it makes a great fueling recipe. Always fast shipping
Wonderful product for general Well being and Recovery. Great quick shipping.
Love all your products. I personally will concentrate on the perpetuum for my long swim(45km) as it feels like a meal every 4mins.
Thank you
great taste! great weight to calorie ratio! thanks
Great quality feel and easy to drink from whilst riding.
No plastic smells either.
Just need a few different colours?
Help me through a 70 miler. Would recommend 👌
