Why We Formulated CorePure Magnesium+ This Way
When comparing magnesium supplements, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. One brand advertises 440 mg magnesium. Another highlights five different magnesium forms. Some combine magnesium with melatonin and promise deep sleep.
At CorePure, we chose a different path.
Instead of asking, How can we make the label look more impressive?, we asked: How can we create a thoughtful formulation that supports long-term daily wellness?
This philosophy shaped every decision behind CorePure Magnesium+.
CorePure Takeaway
Magnesium+ was designed around evidence, transparency and purpose, not around winning a front-label numbers comparison.
The Magnesium Marketing Race
The supplement industry often encourages consumers to compare products using only one number: the amount of elemental magnesium.
While dosage is certainly important, it is only one part of a much larger picture.
Common Myth
The supplement with the biggest magnesium number is automatically the better supplement.
A well-formulated magnesium supplement should also consider:
- The form of magnesium being used
- Bioavailability
- Overall formulation
- Intended purpose
- Ingredient quality
- Long-term usability
- Transparency
We believe these factors deserve just as much attention as the number printed on the label.
Does More Magnesium Always Mean Better?
Not necessarily. Many people assume that if one supplement contains more elemental magnesium than another, it must automatically be superior.
In reality, supplementation is more nuanced.
Evidence Note
The RDA is a population-level nutrition guideline. It is not a rule that every supplement must provide the entire daily requirement in one serving.
The Recommended Dietary Allowance is a general nutritional guideline for the population. It is not a recommendation that every supplement should provide the entire daily requirement in one serving.
Magnesium is also naturally found in foods such as:
- Nuts
- Seeds
- Whole grains
- Legumes
- Green leafy vegetables
A supplement is intended to complement a balanced diet, not necessarily replace every milligram obtained from food.
Our goal was to formulate a product that many people could comfortably include in their daily wellness routine while prioritising ingredient quality and bioavailability.
Why We Chose 200 mg Elemental Magnesium
CorePure Magnesium+ provides 200 mg elemental magnesium per serving from Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate.
Why We Chose This
We selected 200 mg as a thoughtful daily dose that can fit into a broader diet and routine, rather than pushing the number higher for marketing appeal.
Rather than simply increasing the dose to create a larger number on the label, we selected a level that aligns with our philosophy of thoughtful daily supplementation.
Individuals with greater magnesium requirements should always consult a healthcare professional, who may recommend different intake levels depending on their individual circumstances.
Why Magnesium Bisglycinate?
Not every form of magnesium behaves the same way.
CorePure Magnesium+ uses Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate, a form that is widely recognised for its excellent bioavailability and generally good gastrointestinal tolerability.
Why We Chose This
We focused on one well-established chelated magnesium form instead of splitting the formula across several forms for a longer-looking ingredient list.
Instead of dividing the formulation across several magnesium forms, we chose to focus on one well-established form that aligns with the purpose of this product.
Choose the right ingredient, not the longest ingredient list.
Why We Did Not Use Five Different Forms of Magnesium
Many magnesium supplements combine multiple magnesium forms into one product.
This approach is not necessarily wrong. Different magnesium forms have different characteristics and may be appropriate for different applications.
However, combining multiple forms does not automatically make a product superior. In some formulations, the amount of each individual form may be relatively small.
Common Myth
Five magnesium forms must be better than one. In reality, quality, dose, purpose and tolerability matter more than the length of the ingredient list.
Rather than pursuing complexity for marketing purposes, we chose one carefully selected form in a meaningful amount.
Why We Added L-Theanine
L-Theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid commonly found in tea leaves.
Why We Chose This
L-Theanine complements Magnesium+ by supporting a calm, relaxed state while staying aligned with a daily wellness positioning.
It has been studied for its ability to support:
- A calm and relaxed mental state
- Stress management
- Relaxation without causing excessive daytime drowsiness in many people
- Mental clarity and focus in certain situations
At CorePure, we included L-Theanine because we wanted Magnesium+ to support overall wellness, not simply increase the magnesium number on the label.
Why We Added Apigenin
Apigenin is a naturally occurring flavonoid present in plants such as chamomile.
Why We Chose This
Apigenin was included as a complementary botanical ingredient that supports the overall relaxation and wellness philosophy of the formula.
It has attracted growing scientific interest for its potential role in supporting:
- Relaxation
- Healthy sleep quality
- Antioxidant activity
- Overall wellness
Rather than relying solely on magnesium, we chose ingredients that complement one another while remaining consistent with our philosophy of balanced daily supplementation.
Why We Did Not Add Melatonin
Many sleep supplements combine magnesium with melatonin.
Common Myth
Every nighttime supplement needs melatonin. Magnesium+ was designed for long-term daily wellness without relying on a sleep hormone.
Melatonin is a hormone that helps regulate the body's sleep-wake cycle and has legitimate uses in certain situations, such as jet lag or specific circadian rhythm disorders under appropriate medical guidance.
However, when magnesium and melatonin are combined in the same product, it can be difficult for consumers to know which ingredient contributed to the perceived improvement in sleep, or whether the benefit resulted from the combination.
Our goal was different. We wanted to formulate a product intended for long-term daily wellness without relying on a sleep hormone.
Some people also prefer to avoid routine melatonin supplementation because:
- Individual responses can vary
- Some users report next-day grogginess or vivid dreams
- Melatonin may interact with certain medications
- It may not be appropriate for everyone without medical guidance
For these reasons, we chose Magnesium Bisglycinate, L-Theanine and Apigenin instead.
What We Chose Not to Include
Every ingredient we include must have a purpose. Equally important are the ingredients we choose not to include.
For CorePure Magnesium+, we intentionally avoided:
- Multiple magnesium blends simply for marketing appeal
- Melatonin as a routine ingredient
- Unnecessary complexity
- Formulation decisions based solely on front-label numbers
Our Formulation Philosophy
At CorePure, we do not formulate products to win comparisons based on the biggest number on the label.
We formulate products based on three principles:
Evidence. Transparency. Purpose.
Every ingredient must answer one simple question:
Does it genuinely improve the formulation, or does it simply make the label look more impressive?
If it does not improve the formulation, we do not add it.
Final Thoughts
There is no single perfect magnesium supplement for everyone. Every formulation reflects a series of decisions.
Our decision was to create a product centred around:
- A highly bioavailable form of magnesium
- Thoughtfully selected complementary ingredients
- Honest formulation
- Long-term daily wellness
- Transparency over marketing
We believe lasting trust is earned not by printing the biggest number on the front of the bottle, but by helping people understand why every ingredient is there in the first place.
CorePure Takeaway
A formula is not just what it contains. It is also what it deliberately leaves out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why not 440 mg?
Because our goal is a thoughtful daily-use supplement, not the highest front-label number. Magnesium also comes from food, and individual needs vary.
Why not multiple magnesium forms?
Multiple forms can be useful in some formulas, but they do not automatically make a product better. We chose one well-established form in a meaningful amount.
Why no melatonin?
We wanted Magnesium+ to support long-term daily wellness without relying on a sleep hormone. Melatonin can be useful in some situations, but it is not appropriate for everyone.
Can I take more than one serving?
Some individuals may need different intake levels, but that should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional, especially if you have a medical condition or take medication.
