Magnesium is often chosen when we feel fatigue, increased tension, muscle discomfort, or simply want to supplement our daily diet with this important mineral.
However, when picking up different magnesium supplements, one important thing becomes apparent – magnesium is not just magnesium.
On labels, we encounter citrate, malate, gluconate, bisglycinate, and other names. Naturally, the question arises: what are the differences between them, and why are several forms of magnesium needed in one product at all? This very question was the starting point for the GraSole Day Magnesium idea.
This is not a single-form magnesium supplement. Magnesium Day formula combines four different forms of magnesium – Aquamin™ TG, magnesium malate, magnesium citrate, and magnesium gluconate.
Let’s look at each of them simply.
Magnesium Malate
In Magnesium Day, we use magnesium malate – a compound of magnesium and malic acid. Malic acid is naturally found in fruits and participates in the body's energy metabolism processes. Magnesium itself is essential for hundreds of enzymatic reactions in the body, contributing to normal energy metabolism, nervous system and muscle function, and helping to reduce tiredness and fatigue. Therefore, magnesium malate was a meaningful choice for the "Day Magnesium" formula designed for daytime use.
Magnesium Citrate
Magnesium citrate is one of the most popular and well-absorbed forms of magnesium. It is a compound of magnesium and citric acid. Citric acid is also naturally found in citrus fruits.
This form of magnesium is characterized by good solubility, allowing the body to absorb it efficiently. Studies show that magnesium citrate is absorbed better than, for example, magnesium oxide.
Magnesium is important daily: it helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue, maintain normal energy metabolism, nervous system activity, and muscle function. Therefore, in the "Day Magnesium" formula, magnesium citrate complements other selected forms of magnesium and minerals – magnesium malate and Aquamin™ TG.
Aquamin™ TG – Minerals from North Atlantic Red Algae
Aquamin™ TG is a natural marine-derived multimineral ingredient extracted from calcified red seaweed of the Lithothamnion species. These algae grow in the clean waters of the North Atlantic and naturally accumulate minerals found in seawater within their structure.
The uniqueness of Aquamin™ TG is that it is not a single isolated mineral, but a natural mineral matrix. Its main component is calcium, but it also contains magnesium and various marine-derived trace elements. The manufacturer specifies a minimum of 30% calcium content in Aquamin™ TG.
Red algae accumulate minerals naturally as they grow. After their life cycle ends, the mineralized algal structure settles on the seabed, from where the raw material is collected in a controlled manner, cleaned, and prepared for use in food supplements.
What makes Aquamin™ TG interesting?
- 🌊 Marine origin – derived from mineralized red seaweed.
- 🌿 Natural multimineral matrix – naturally contains magnesium and various trace elements along with calcium.
- 🦴 High calcium content – Aquamin™ TG contains at least 30% calcium.
- 🌱 Suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
- ♻️ Raw material is collected sustainably, adhering to principles of responsible resource use.
- reduce tiredness and fatigue;
- maintain normal nervous system function;
- maintain normal muscle function;
- maintain normal energy metabolism.
- 👌 The ingredient has a neutral taste and smell, making it widely used in food supplements.

Why is it used in "GraSole Day Magnesium"?
Aquamin™ TG provides the "Day Magnesium" formula with a natural marine-derived mineral complex. This is an interesting alternative to conventional single mineral sources, as the minerals here are in a naturally formed mineral matrix of red algae.
Thus, Aquamin™ TG's journey begins not in a laboratory, but in the North Atlantic Ocean – in red seaweed that accumulates marine minerals as it grows.
Magnesium Gluconate
This is a compound of magnesium and gluconic acid. It is a water-soluble form of magnesium used as a magnesium source in food supplements.
It is interesting that gluconic acid is naturally formed by the oxidation of glucose. Thus, the name "gluconate" is related to this organic acid, not to simple sugar.
Magnesium gluconate is valued for its solubility and is one of the organic forms of magnesium.
The magnesium obtained from it helps the body to:
- reduce tiredness and fatigue;
- maintain normal nervous system function;
- maintain normal muscle function;
- maintain normal energy metabolism.
So, magnesium gluconate is another form of magnesium chosen for the "Day Magnesium" formula. It is a highly water-soluble compound of magnesium and gluconic acid. It complements magnesium malate and citrate, ensuring that "Day Magnesium" provides magnesium from several different forms.
Not just how much magnesium, but also what form it takes
When choosing a magnesium supplement, we often first look for one number – how many milligrams of magnesium are in a serving.
This is important.
But it's also worth looking one line below – what forms of magnesium make up the product?
Is a single form of magnesium used?
Or a combination of several forms?
Are the raw materials used clearly indicated?
Do you understand what you are paying for?
That is why in the "Day Magnesium" formula, the ingredients are not hidden behind an abstract "magnesium complex" label.
Its four components each have their place in the formula.
Day Magnesium in short. This is not just "another magnesium".
It is a complex of four magnesium forms created for daily routine, combining:
- Aquamin™ TG;
- magnesium malate;
- magnesium citrate;
- magnesium gluconate.
Magnesium helps maintain normal energy metabolism, nervous system and muscle function, and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
Therefore, the product idea is simple: for the day – a formula that was developed with the day in mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Day Magnesium differ from regular magnesium?
The main difference is that the formula uses not one, but four forms of magnesium: Aquamin™ TG, magnesium malate, citrate, and gluconate.
Why are several forms of magnesium used?
GraSole chose a complex of several magnesium sources, rather than a single-form formula. Each form of magnesium used is a different chemical compound of magnesium.
Why is magnesium needed during the day?
Magnesium helps maintain normal energy metabolism, normal nervous system and muscle function, and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
What is the difference between Magnesium Day and Magnesium Night?
These are two different formulas. Magnesium Day consists of a complex of four forms of magnesium, while Magnesium Night uses magnesium bisglycinate and taurate forms, along with L-theanine, apigenin, and saffron.
In conclusion
Sometimes, when choosing a supplement, it is worth turning the package over and reading not the product name, but the ingredients list.
That is where the biggest difference of GraSole Day Magnesium lies.
Not one form of magnesium.
Not one complex-sounding ingredient.
But four different sources of magnesium in one formula created for the day.
Aquamin™ TG. Malate. Citrate. Gluconate.
Four different names that can now be easily understood.
And one clear product idea:
Magnesium Day – magnesium created for your daily rhythm.
