The Mango Magnesium

The Mango Magnesium contains a sea mineral powder, which is pure dehydrated concentrated sea water. Magnesium found this way in nature is ionic, meaning it is a positively charged ion that is readily absorbed and used by the body. 

The reason the minerals remain ionic, even in this powder form, is because of the drying process used - no heat treating or irradiating is used. The minerals are spray dried, which means to blow air through a giant tunnel. In this process, there still remains what are called the "waters of hydration" which is water retained within the crystal structure of the mineral. This is what allows the minerals to remain in ionic form, and 100% soluble when added to water. 

So technically speaking, the form of magnesium would suggest magnesium chloride as this is what it is in the ocean. However, the level of magnesium listed on the jar is elemental, so the amount your body will be receiving in a serve. Due to the sea minerals naturally containing chloride, this allows the magnesium to be readily absorbed into cells in higher amounts, because chloride is used abundantly by the body as an electrolyte. 

For context, other more natural magnesium supplements that use marine magnesium, but they actually then isolate the magnesium from the sea water using calcium hydroxide to form magnesium hydroxide, derived from sea water. Hydroxide has been added to form magnesium hydroxide.  We haven’t removed/isolated the magnesium from the sea water, nor have we added chloride to make it magnesium chloride, we have taken it exactly how it is found in nature's sea water and dehydrated it in a way that allows all the minerals (magnesium, sodium, chloride, etc) to stay in their ionic form.

Foraged products are different.. so they need to be treated differently too! At Foraged For You we have no fillers, no excipients, no flow agents, no synthetic chemicals or isolates, and no space taken by anything that doesn't provide you nutritional value. Our philosophy is simple: if it doesn’t nourish the body, it doesn’t belong in the product.

This is why our products feel different, smell different, behave differently and yes, sometimes they can clump, settle, or change with temperature or moisture. That’s not a flaw… that’s real food.

When you remove excipients, you also remove the chemical buffers that protect products from moisture, heat, oxygen and light. So our blends are more alive, more sensitive, and more responsive to their environment - just like real food.

That’s why we always recommend:

• Storing them in a cool, dry place especially if you live in a humid area
• Sealing them properly after use.. like seriously tight!
• Avoiding moisture (no wet spoons or fingers!), and keeping the moisture sachets in the jars
• Not leaving them in hot cars or sunny windowsills
• If you purchase a refill subscription pouch, always pour straight into a Foraged jar or airtight container after opening
  

Remember, you’re not handling a lab-made synthetic powder here. You’re handling a pure, concentrated food. That’s why our blends may look denser, darker, or more “rustic” and imperfect than what you’re used to.. because well, they are.

So in short.. our products ask a little more of you - better storage, more care, a bit of respect - but it’s because they’re doing a lot more for you in return. 

They’re not engineered for machines, they’re made for human bodies. So thank you for caring for them with the love and respect that real food deserves. 

The red marine algae (Lithothamnion calcareum), after years of thriving in the mineral-rich Atlantic sea, naturally calcifies on the North Atlantic seabed. From here it is safely and sustainably harvested and processed in order to maintain its mineral content. Not only does it contain a spectrum of minerals, but it has proven to be one of nature’s richest sources of calcium. 

Certified organic mango powder brings a nourishing, naturally sweet, tropical flavour to the formulation, without the need for artificial additives. Together, these carefully selected wholefood ingredients bring the nutritional complexity of the ocean together with the goodness of real fruit, creating a simple and enjoyable way for the whole family to incorporate mineral nourishment into everyday life. 

The Magnesium Mango Powder has been designed to nourish the whole family.

  *This product is a 1-3 month supply, depending on your serving size, whether using an adult or children's serving. 

The Mango Magnesium is most enjoyed mixed with water, pure juice or coconut water, or added to smoothies, mango nice-cream or homemade icy poles and gummies. 

When mixing with liquid, we recommend adding a small amount of water or juice first to create a smooth paste before gradually adding more liquid. This helps the powder fully disperse and blend beautifully, as we choose not to use synthetic emulsifiers. To create a milder flavour, simply dilute with additional water. 

Please note, a 7.5g serve of The Mango Magnesium Powder is equivalent to 4 capsules of The Ocean’s Magnesium Capsules. Adults who regularly consume 6 capsules daily may like to enjoy a slightly larger serve of powder to align with their usual intake.
