Magnesium and Vitamin D Supplements

Magnesium and vitamin D are both essential nutrients with a number of important roles in the body. They are sometimes combined in the same supplement, offering a convenient way to include both as part of your daily routine.

Both nutrients contribute to the maintenance of normal bones and normal muscle function. Magnesium also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, while vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

At Evergreen, you can explore magnesium and vitamin D supplements from trusted brands and compare different strengths and formulas to find an option that suits your needs.

Why Are Magnesium and Vitamin D Taken Together?

Magnesium and vitamin D have different roles in the body, but there is some overlap in their recognised functions.

Both contribute to:

• the maintenance of normal bones
• normal muscle function

Magnesium additionally contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function and normal energy-yielding metabolism.

Vitamin D contributes to normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus, normal blood calcium levels and the normal function of the immune system.

This makes a combined magnesium and vitamin D3 supplement a convenient option for people who are looking to include both nutrients in their routine.

What Is Vitamin D3?

Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is one of the forms of vitamin D commonly used in food supplements.

Here in Ireland, vitamin D is particularly relevant because we can't make sufficient vitamin D from sunlight throughout the year. Current HSE guidance recommends vitamin D supplementation for everyone in Ireland, although the amount and whether it is needed seasonally or throughout the year varies according to age and circumstances.

Choosing Magnesium and Vitamin D

As with any combination supplement, don't assume that the product containing the highest amounts is necessarily the best choice.

Check how much magnesium and vitamin D3 the recommended daily serving provides and consider what you're already getting from other supplements.

You'll also find different forms of magnesium across supplements. If you'd like to understand the difference between magnesium bisglycinate, citrate and other forms, our Types of Magnesium guide can help.

You can also explore our complete Magnesium Supplements range if you're looking for magnesium without added vitamin D.

Do You Need to Take Magnesium With Vitamin D?

Not necessarily.

Although the two nutrients are frequently discussed together and both have important roles in normal bone and muscle function, that doesn't mean everyone taking vitamin D also needs a magnesium supplement.

Your requirements will depend on your diet, individual circumstances and what you're already taking. A combined supplement is primarily a convenient way of getting both nutrients within one product.

If you're unsure whether a combination supplement is appropriate for you, speak to your pharmacist, GP or another qualified healthcare professional.
