Viridian Magnesium Taurate (112mg, 90 Capsules)

Viridian's Magnesium Taurate pairs magnesium with the amino acid taurine, a combination practitioners often reach for when cardiovascular routines and calm-focus are the goal. 112mg of elemental magnesium per serving in a gentle, well-absorbed form. 90 vegan capsules.

What it is

A capsule containing magnesium bound to taurine, an amino acid the body uses across the heart, eyes and central nervous system. Each serving delivers 112mg of elemental magnesium plus the taurine component. Viridian deliver it in a clean vegan capsule with no fillers and no synthetic colour. Made in the UK.

Why it works

Magnesium is one of the most-needed minerals for everyday wellbeing. It contributes to:

• Normal energy-yielding metabolism
• Normal muscle function (including heart muscle)
• Normal nervous system function
• Normal psychological function
• Reduction of tiredness and fatigue
• Electrolyte balance

Forms of magnesium aren't interchangeable. The form determines absorption, gentleness on the gut, and which tissues the mineral tends to reach in meaningful amounts. Magnesium taurate is the form practitioners typically choose when the goal is cardiovascular routine support, because both magnesium and taurine have their strongest roles in the heart and nervous system. Taurine itself is found in high concentrations in heart muscle.

For sleep and calming routines, magnesium bisglycinate is usually the first pick. For digestion routines, magnesium citrate. For cardiovascular and calm-focus routines, taurate is the targeted option. Our magnesium guide walks through all the forms in plain English.

Who it's for

A solid pick for adults working on cardiovascular routines as part of a wider plan. Popular with people in midlife and beyond who want a magnesium form aligned with heart-and-nervous-system goals. Also used by people who find other magnesium forms too loosening on the bowel and want a gentler daily option.

For a wider heart-focused routine, browse the Heart & Cholesterol range and consider pairing with a quality omega-3 (omega-3 EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function at qualifying intakes).

What's different about this version

Three things stand out. First, the form. Magnesium taurate combines two cardiovascular-supportive ingredients in one molecule. Second, the dose. 112mg of elemental magnesium per serving is a practical daily amount. Third, the clean Viridian label: vegan, no fillers, no shellac glaze, no synthetic colour.

Viridian have been making clean magnesium formulas for over 25 years and remain one of the longest-stocked brands at LSC.

How to use it

One to two capsules a day with food, or as advised by a practitioner. Many people prefer evening dosing as the taurine component fits naturally into a wind-down routine.

Magnesium contributes to reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal muscle function.

If you're on prescribed medication (particularly blood pressure medication, certain antibiotics, or medication for kidney or heart conditions), speak to your GP or pharmacist before starting. We can talk you through what's in the capsule, we just can't advise on interactions with prescriptions.
