Why Magnesium + Taurine Together
Two complementary nutrients, each with its own authorized role, combined in one capsule.
Backed by science
Taurine and magnesium are each studied for distinct but complementary roles in cardiovascular and muscle physiology - research on each is summarized below.
The AOR difference
300 mg taurine plus 65 mg elemental magnesium (as citrate) per capsule - vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free and made in Canada, with a single non-medicinal ingredient.
Advanced Ingredients, Superior Results
Two real, distinct actives - taurine and magnesium citrate - each contributing its own authorized role.
Taurine
A conditionally essential sulfur-containing amino acid concentrated in the heart, skeletal muscle and central nervous system, whose authorized role in this product is to help support cardiovascular function; also studied for roles in calcium handling within heart and muscle cells and in osmoregulation.

What the research says about Magnesium + Taurine
Peer-reviewed studies on taurine, magnesium and magnesium citrate specifically - shared for education, not as claims about this finished product. Magnesium + Taurine's own claims are the statements authorized under its Natural Health Product licence, NPN 80043532.
Taurine linked to blood pressure regulation and vascular health
A review of taurine's cardiovascular effects found evidence for blood pressure regulation, improved cardiac fitness and enhanced vascular health, alongside antioxidant properties relevant to aging and cardiovascular pathophysiology.
ReviewMeta-analysis: taurine improved heart rate, blood pressure and cardiac function
Pooling 808 participants across 20 randomized controlled trials, taurine significantly reduced heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and NYHA functional class, while increasing left ventricular ejection fraction, with no significant adverse effects versus control.
Meta-analysisTaurine improved blood pressure and vascular function in type 2 diabetes
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 2.4 g/day of taurine for 12 weeks significantly reduced systolic blood pressure and improved vascular function (endothelium-dependent and independent vasodilation, pulse wave velocity) in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Human RCTHigher magnesium intake linked to greater hip bone mineral density
A systematic review and meta-analysis in older adults found a significant positive association between magnesium intake and hip bone mineral density, with a positive trend also seen for femoral neck BMD.
Meta-analysisMagnesium is one of several nutrients implicated in skeletal health
A narrative review of calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K2 and magnesium supplementation found magnesium deficiency could negatively influence bone and muscle health, alongside its supporting role for calcium and vitamin D's established effects on bone.
ReviewMagnesium is required to activate vitamin D, which governs calcium for bone
A review describes how magnesium acts as a cofactor for the enzymes that activate vitamin D in the liver and kidneys; vitamin D in turn regulates calcium and phosphate homeostasis for bone growth and maintenance, linking adequate magnesium status to healthy bone metabolism.
ReviewA rationale for combining magnesium and taurine for vascular protection
A research hypothesis paper describes parallel calcium-modulating actions of magnesium and taurine in vascular and cardiac tissue - both help minimize excess intracellular calcium - proposing that the combination could offer complementary cardiovascular support.
ReviewMagnesium and taurine both implicated in the heart's response to calcium stress
Research on the 'calcium paradox' (a model of calcium-depletion/repletion injury) in the heart describes how a rise in extracellular magnesium and the efflux of intracellular taurine both act to limit the rise in intracellular sodium that drives cell damage, suggesting related protective roles for the two.
ReviewIntracellular taurine changes alongside extracellular magnesium during cardiac calcium stress
In isolated guinea-pig hearts, tissue taurine fell sharply during calcium-free perfusion, and raising extracellular magnesium during this period reduced the loss of cellular proteins on calcium repletion - a controlled experimental look at how the two factors interact in heart tissue.
Animal studyTaurine supports calcium-dependent muscle contraction
A review of taurine and skeletal muscle function describes taurine's role in facilitating calcium-dependent excitation-contraction coupling, regulating cell volume, and providing antioxidant defense during the stress of muscle contraction.
ReviewMagnesium supports normal muscle function including the heart muscle
A review for sports medicine practitioners describes magnesium's role in normal nerve and muscle function, cardiac excitability and energy production, noting it has been studied as an ergogenic aid because of these roles.
ReviewTaurine reversed oxidative damage in overused muscle
A review reports that taurine levels rise during exercise alongside reduced oxidative damage in overused muscle, and that short-term taurine supplementation improved physiological performance during high-intensity work in prior studies, supporting a role in muscle recovery from exertion.
ReviewTaurine's safety established up to 3 grams per day
A quantitative risk assessment of taurine, L-glutamine and L-arginine found no systematic pattern of adverse effects from oral taurine in published human trials, identifying an Observed Safe Level of 3 g/day for normal healthy adults - a range this product's labelled dose (up to 1.5 g/day) falls within.
ReviewCall to re-examine magnesium's 350 mg/day diarrhea threshold
A review of intervention studies and adverse-event reports since 1997 found most trials of single-ingredient magnesium supplements - some well above 350 mg/day - showed no significant increase in diarrhea versus control, suggesting the long-standing upper-intake threshold may be conservative.
ReviewMagnesium supplements well tolerated with low rates of GI side effects
A crossover trial comparing two 500 mg magnesium supplements with different release properties found both were well tolerated, with a very low frequency of gastrointestinal adverse effects and no significant difference in bioavailability between formulations.
Human RCTMagnesium citrate more soluble and bioavailable than magnesium oxide
A foundational comparison found magnesium citrate was substantially more soluble than magnesium oxide across a range of gastric acid conditions, and produced a significantly greater rise in urinary magnesium after an oral load - a direct measure of absorption.
Human studyMagnesium citrate outperformed other forms after 60 days of daily use
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, daily magnesium citrate supplementation produced the greatest serum and salivary magnesium concentrations compared with magnesium oxide and an amino-acid chelate, especially after 60 days of chronic use.
Human RCTMagnesium citrate raised blood and urinary magnesium more than oxide
In magnesium-saturated healthy men, a single 400 mg dose of magnesium citrate produced a significant rise in 24-hour urinary magnesium excretion and higher plasma magnesium at 4 and 8 hours, while magnesium oxide did not reach significance on either measure.
Human RCTThe structure of the enzyme that builds taurine in the body
Researchers solved the crystal structure of cysteine sulphinic acid decarboxylase (CSAD), the enzyme responsible for the rate-limiting step of taurine biosynthesis from cysteine, clarifying how it recognizes its substrate at the molecular level.
MechanismTaurine efflux is a core mechanism of cell volume regulation
A review of cell-volume regulation across vertebrate tissues identifies a taurine efflux pathway, alongside potassium and chloride channels, as a main effector by which cells respond to swelling - a foundational role for taurine as an organic osmolyte.
ReviewMagnesium is a required cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions
A comprehensive review describes magnesium's role as a cofactor for more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including the conversion of ATP to ADP for cellular energy production and the function of calcium ion channels involved in nerve transmission and muscle relaxation.
ReviewSingle doses of 1-6 g taurine improved endurance performance
A meta-analysis of 10 studies found oral taurine, at doses ranging from 1 to 6 g given as a single dose or over up to 2 weeks, improved endurance exercise performance, with the dose amount not significantly moderating the size of the effect.
Meta-analysis2 g/day taurine reduced muscle cramp frequency and severity in a dose-controlled RCT
In a randomized, double-blind, crossover trial in chronic liver disease patients with frequent muscle cramps, 2 g of taurine per day for 4 weeks significantly reduced cramp frequency, duration and severity compared with placebo, with no adverse effects reported.
Human RCTMagnesium tissue uptake varied by dose and compound in a controlled comparison
Testing three doses (45, 135 and 405 mg/70 kg elemental magnesium) of several magnesium compounds including citrate in mice, brain and muscle tissue magnesium levels rose with dose in a compound-dependent manner, and splitting a high dose into two smaller doses did not meaningfully increase tissue magnesium levels.
