Peak Mag M+

Deeper Dive:

Magnesium is not a single-function mineral. It shows up as a required participant in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the human body.

✨ Energy metabolism.
✨ Muscle contraction and release.
✨ Nerve signal transmission.
✨ Sleep regulation.
✨ Stress hormone response.
✨ ... It even plays a large role in activation of B vitamins into their usable forms.

It is less a supplement and more an operating requirement.

The magnesium depletion problem is sneaky. Your body defends blood magnesium levels the way it defends blood oxygen:

It's Non-negotiable.

So when your blood magnesium levels are low, your body pulls magnesium from your tissues, muscles, and bones to keep serum levels stable. Which means, until something is VERY wrong, serum magnesium on your bloodwork will look fine. Even when your cells are quietly running short (fun fact, it isn't just magnesium that does this).

Standard blood testing was built to detect disease, not to measure optimal cellular function and peak wellness. These are not the same thing, and most women over 40 are living in the gap between the two.

Why Malate instead of Glycinate?

In supplement chemistry, a 'salt' is the molecule magnesium is bonded to for delivery. Think of the salt form as the vehicle that drives a mineral to a specific destination. The mineral (in this case, magnesium) is the passenger. The salt determines where it gets dropped off.

Glycinate is trending for good reason (and we have our Peak Mag LG if you prefer glycinate)! It's gentle on digestion and has a strong affinity for the nervous system - which makes it genuinely useful for sleep and anxiety. But glycinate is a nervous system vehicle ahead of other systems.

Malate is an energy vehicle. Malic acid is a compound your mitochondria use directly in the Krebs cycle, the process that converts nutrients into cellular energy. Bonding magnesium to malate delivers it right into THAT process.

So, for women running on empty, the engine needs fuel before anything else downstream can work properly. You can't calm a nervous system that's exhausted at the cellular level.

That's why DiMagnesium Malate from Albion is 90% of this formula. Not because the other forms don't matter. They do. But energy production is where depleted women need the most support first, and Malate goes there directly.

How the eight salts divide the work:

Different magnesium salts have different tissue affinities based on their carrier molecule. Malate and Citrate support energy metabolism and digestive motility. Glycinate and Taurinate have stronger nervous system and neurological affinity. Caprylate is gut-specific, caprylic acid is naturally targeted to intestinal tissue. Orotate (in this case, sourced from Centian in Europe), has cardiovascular and cellular health associations. Lactate and Aspartate are gentle, well-tolerated forms that round out absorption across tissue types.

Eight forms. One formula. Covering the full map of where your body actually uses this mineral.

On the TRAACS verification:

Not all chelated magnesium is equal. A chelate means the mineral is bonded to an amino acid for better absorption. But that bond can be weak, inconsistent, or poorly formed depending on manufacturing. TRAACS (The Real Amino Acid Chelate System) is Albion Laboratories' independent, registered verification that the bond is correct, stable, and built to survive digestion. It's not just a marketing badge - it's documented proof that what's on the label is what reaches your cells.

Who Should Take This?

Women over 40 experiencing disrupted sleep, low energy, muscle cramps, brain fog, constipation, or a stress response that won't settle. Anyone whose magnesium bloodwork looks normal but still feels depleted. Anyone taking B vitamins, omega-3s, or probiotics who wants those supplements working at full capacity.
