Aquamin® Marine Magnesium
A multi-mineral magnesium ingredient extracted from red marine algae (Lithothamnion sp.). Instead of a single isolated salt, it carries magnesium alongside the trace mineral profile the algae accumulates from seawater.
The form we use
Aquamin® marine-derived multi-mineral magnesium (branded, standardised extract)
Branded, standardised ingredients are traceable to a specific supplier, a specific extraction process and a specific published study set — unlike generic 'marine magnesium'. Aquamin® is the marine mineral ingredient with its own peer-reviewed trial record, which is why it sits in the sustained-release phase of the matrix rather than a commodity salt.
Why this form
How the common forms compare
| Form | What published literature reports | In TruWe |
|---|---|---|
| Generic 'marine magnesium' | Unstandardised; source, mineral profile and study record vary by supplier. | Not used |
| Aquamin® (Lithothamnion sp.) | Standardised branded extract with a published randomised-trial record in joint comfort and bone structure endpoints. | Used |
| Synthetic magnesium salt blends | Predictable elemental content, but no accompanying trace-mineral matrix and no ingredient-specific trial record. | Not used |

Questions, answered
Aquamin® Marine Magnesium FAQ
- What makes Aquamin® different from ordinary magnesium?
- It is a whole mineral extract from red marine algae rather than a single manufactured salt, so it carries magnesium plus the algae's trace-mineral profile, and it has its own published trial record.
- Is it vegan?
- It is derived from calcified red algae, not from animal sources.
- Why include it when the formula already has bisglycinate?
- The two behave differently in the gut. The matrix pairs a fast-solubility phase, a sustained phase and a deep-uptake chelate phase rather than relying on any one form.
- Is the ® meaningful?
- Yes — it identifies the specific standardised ingredient and the study set attached to it, so the research cited actually corresponds to what is in the tablet.
