Reason 01

It's the only UK magnesium where every single batch gets independently lab-tested.

🧪 Batch-Tested · Verified
NF Magnesium Glycinate bottle with QR code linking to that batch's lab report

Most UK magnesium brands send one early batch to a lab, get a clean certificate, and put that test on their website forever. The next 50 batches? Never re-tested. You're trusting a result from a batch that's no longer in production.

NF Magnesium Glycinate is third-party tested at an accredited UK lab on every single batch we manufacture. Every bottle has a QR code on the back. Scan it, and you're taken straight to the Certificate of Analysis for the exact batch in your hand. The full archive is published at testing.nfsupplements.co.uk. If a batch doesn't match the label, it doesn't go out the door.

What gets tested per batch
Elemental magnesium content · Identity verification · Heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury) · Microbial contamination · Capsule fill weight uniformity

Don't take our word for it. Don't take a brand's word for it. Take the lab's word for it — and then check that the lab tested this batch.

Reason 02

It exposes the "buffering scandal" the rest of the magnesium industry won't talk about.

⚠️ Industry Investigation
The full magnesium investigation video
Watch · The full investigation. 5 brands. 1 lab. 0 passes.

We bought the top 5 best-selling magnesium supplements on Amazon UK. Sent two of every bottle to an ISO 17025-accredited lab. Kept one back, in case any of them tried to claim we'd swapped capsules.

Every single one is using the same trick. They mix cheap magnesium oxide into "glycinate" formulas to inflate the elemental number on the label. Oxide is 63% elemental on paper, but your body absorbs around 4% of it. Glycinate is only 13% elemental — but your body absorbs 40–50% of it.

What's worse: some brands actually print it on the label. Free Soul calls their formula "buffered" right on the bottle — that's the legal way of admitting they're cutting their glycinate with oxide. Most don't even bother with that — they just hide the oxide entirely and let the maths do the lying for them.

OXIDE 63% ON LABEL ~4% ABSORBED GLYCINATE 13% ON LABEL 40-50% ABSORBED

They pick oxide because it lets them print a bigger number on the bottle. We picked glycinate because it actually works.

Reason 04

It's 100% pure magnesium glycinate. And the maths proves it.

📐 The Maths Doesn't Lie

Take any UK magnesium bottle off the shelf. If they claim more than 13% elemental from "magnesium glycinate", it's mathematically impossible without hidden oxide. We had this confirmed by the UK's largest magnesium ingredient supplier. They had no idea why brands are allowed to do it either.

Run the numbers on Nutrition Geeks' best-selling product:

// Nutrition Geeks 3-in-1 — Per 2 Capsule Serving

1,000mg Glycinate × 13%= 130mg
400mg Malate × 15%= 60mg
400mg Citrate × 16%= 64mg
Honest total elemental= 254mg
Label claims384mg
Unexplained gap130mg
Only oxide can fill this gap

That 130mg hole in the maths can only be filled by one thing: magnesium oxide, the cheapest form of magnesium money can buy. ~217mg of hidden oxide explains the gap exactly. They don't list it on the label.

Now run the same maths on us:

// NF Magnesium Glycinate — Per 4 Capsule Serving

2,600mg Glycinate × 13%= 338mg
Label claims338mg
Unexplained gap0mg
100% pure glycinate. Nothing hidden.
NF Magnesium Glycinate bottle
Chemistry · Not Opinion

You can only get 13% elemental magnesium from magnesium glycinate.

That's a chemistry fact. Anything higher means hidden oxide.

Our 13% is the honest signature of pure glycinate. Anyone claiming higher is hiding oxide.

Reason 05

It delivers 338mg of magnesium your body actually absorbs — not just numbers on a label.

💊 Bioavailable
ABSORPTION INTO BLOODSTREAM OXIDE ~4% CITRATE ~30% GLYCINATE 40-50% If your body can't absorb it, it's not in your body. Visual: Absorption rate comparison

A 500mg "elemental magnesium" claim on a label means almost nothing if most of it comes from oxide. Your body only absorbs around 4% of oxide. That's roughly 20mg actually reaching your bloodstream from a 500mg label number.

And here's what the industry won't say out loud: most "glycinate" brands buffer their formula with around 30% magnesium oxide. That means roughly one in every three milligrams in the capsule is barely being absorbed. You paid for glycinate. You're getting two-thirds glycinate and one-third filler that mostly passes straight through you.

NF's 338mg is pure glycinate. No oxide cut. No filler. At 40–50% absorption, that's 135–170mg of usable magnesium reaching your tissues. We deliver more bioavailable magnesium than brands printing far bigger numbers on their bottles — because none of ours is wasted.

A smaller number you absorb beats a big number you don't.
50% of 500 is 250.
4% of 1000 is 40.
One looks better. The other is better.

Reason 06

It's manufactured in our own GMP-certified facility in Kidlington, Oxford.

🏭 UK Made · In-House
The NF Supplements team in our GMP-certified manufacturing facility in Kidlington, Oxford

Almost every supplement brand on Amazon UK doesn't actually make their supplements. They source from third-party manufacturers, who source from contract labs, who source from wholesale ingredients no one in the chain has personally verified.

NF Magnesium Glycinate is manufactured in our own GMP-certified facility in Kidlington, just outside Oxford. We mix the powder. We fill the capsules. We seal the bottles. We can't blame a contract manufacturer if anything is wrong, because there isn't one.

That's not a marketing line. That's how a UK brand actually controls what ends up in your capsule.

Reason 07

It delivers the most absorbed magnesium per serving of any UK supplement we tested.

📊 The Only Number That Matters

On a label, the highest numbers look like the winners. Free Soul claims 385mg. Nutrition Geeks claims 384mg. Zipvit claims 400mg. NF claims 338mg — a smaller number than three of the bestsellers.

But there's only one figure that actually matters: how much magnesium reaches your bloodstream. Adjust each brand for the absorption rates of the specific forms inside the bottle, and the rankings flip:

NF wins on absorbed mg — despite a smaller-looking label number

~152mg of bioavailable magnesium per serving. The highest of any UK magnesium we tested. Nearly 2x more usable magnesium than Nutrition Geeks — the country's #1 bestseller. Almost 3x more than Free Soul, despite their label claiming 47mg more than ours.

Two reasons we win:

01 / Quantity
A genuinely huge glycinate dose.
2,600mg of magnesium glycinate per serving — far more than the ~1,000mg most "glycinate" brands use before they start cutting it with cheap oxide.
02 / Quality
Zero oxide buffering.
100% of our formula is pure glycinate at 40–50% absorption. No filler, no oxide hiding in the maths to inflate the elemental number on the bottle.

Most brands compromise on dose or compromise on quality to fake the other. We just used more of the good stuff.

Where's The Proof Other Brands Do This?
Reason 08

Glycinate is the form linked to better sleep, calm, fewer cramps, and steadier heart rhythm.

😴 Sleep · Calm · Cramps · Heart
😴 SLEEP 🧘 CALM 🦵 CRAMPS ❤️ HEART Four reasons people buy magnesium. Glycinate is the form that delivers on all four. Visual: Glycinate benefits

The science on glycinate is specific. It crosses into the bloodstream more efficiently than oxide, citrate, or any of the other major forms. It's the form most consistently linked in the research to:

• Faster sleep onset and deeper sleep
• Lower stress reactivity and a calmer nervous system
• Fewer overnight muscle cramps
• Steadier heart rhythm and better blood pressure regulation

None of that holds for oxide. None of that holds for "buffered" blends where oxide is doing the heavy lifting. You bought magnesium for a reason. Glycinate is the form that does the thing you bought it for.

Reason 10 · The One That Ties It Together

Getting to #10 means one thing — you're serious about magnesium that actually works.

You didn't read this far to go back to the £9.99 bestsellers. You read this far because you want the magnesium your body can actually use, made by the brand willing to publish every test result.
