Triquetra Plant Magnesium is a 100% whole food, plant-sourced form of Magnesium derived from an organic French sea vegetable complex. Being a whole food source of Magnesium, Plant Magnesium is recognized by your body as food, in contrast to isolated and synthetic forms of magnesium. Whole-food Magnesium is gentle on the stomach and digestive tract.

It is made up of a blend of three organic seaweeds grown off the coast of France. The sea lettuce supplies the magnesium and the bladderwrack, and the Irish sea moss supplies other trace minerals and nutrients. The seaweed is harvested and dried at a low temperature. Pure water is the only solvent used in the manufacturing process to remove impurities, and it is tested for heavy metals, which can be a problem in many seaweed products.
No ethylene dichloride, hexane, or acetone are used.
The raw material and finished product are tested for heavy metals.
Each capsule contains 125 mg of elemental magnesium.
Ingredients: Organic sea lettuce, organic Irish moss, organic bladderwrack
Other ingredients: Organic vegan Pullulan Capsule and Organic Rice Hulls
Each two-capsule serving contains approximately 10-20 micrograms of naturally occurring iodine.
Suggested use: Take two capsules daily or as your healthcare practitioner directs.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Most people do not get enough magnesium in their diet, and this is because there are not many foods with large amounts of magnesium. This is why a significant portion of the population consumes less magnesium than they need daily. Most of the magnesium in the body is stored in the bones and tissues, so blood tests for magnesium levels are not a good way of knowing if you are getting enough magnesium. There is currently no test that accurately shows magnesium levels in the body. Please don’t fall for hair mineral testing or finger prick tests for microscope analysis; they are not an accurate way of showing magnesium levels or deficiencies in the body.
