Supplements for active people and anyone looking after their bones and muscles: glucosamine and MSM joint formulas, marine and bovine collagen, calcium with vitamin D3 and K2, and a wide magnesium range in capsules, powders, gummies and liquids. Start with Joint Support, Bone Support or Collagen & MSM.
Magnesium makes up a large part of this range because it contributes to normal muscle function, to the maintenance of normal bones and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. The form mainly changes how you take it:
Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal muscle function, and vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, so D3 and K2 are often taken together: see Doctor's Best MK-7, Solaray Vitamin K-2 or Trec Vitamin D3 + Magnesium. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage and bones, which is why it appears in many collagen blends. For the full mineral line-up, see Minerals.
Start with what you want to look after. Calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K and magnesium carry authorised claims for normal bones, while collagen and glucosamine are popular in joint routines but have no authorised health claims of their own.
Every form of magnesium carries the same authorised claim: it contributes to normal muscle function. The choice comes down to format and how your stomach tolerates it; glycinate is a popular option, and powders and liquids let you adjust the amount.
Yes, many people combine them and some products already do. Check total doses on each label, and speak to a pharmacist first if you take warfarin or another blood thinner, as glucosamine may not be suitable.
Yes. Ultra Lyte Kids Magnesium Citrate gummies and ChildLife Liquid Calcium with Magnesium are made for children; follow the age guidance on the label.
Persistent pain, swelling or stiffness should be checked by a GP or physiotherapist. The supplements in this range are not intended to treat joint conditions.
