Things to know before taking PILLAR Performance

1. The Core of Triple Magnesium (3-Way Blend)
- Magnesium Citrate: Supports overall mineral balance and electrolyte regulation within the body.
- Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate: Specifically formulated for rapid absorption into the muscle cells.
- Magnesium Glycinate: The standout feature; it offers superior absorption into the brain and nervous system, promoting relaxation without causing digestive distress.
2. Best Time to Consume
For optimal results, take Triple Magnesium 30–60 minutes before bed. This helps the nervous system relax, making it easier to drift into a deep, high-quality sleep.
3. Changes in Urine Color
If you are consuming products high in B-Vitamins (such as Ultra B Active), your urine may turn a "neon yellow" or bright orange color. This is a perfectly normal process where the body flushes out excess Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) that wasn't fully absorbed.
4. Things to Avoid
High Calcium Intake: If taking both, space them at least 2 hours apart to prevent absorption interference.
Alcohol & Caffeine: Excessive consumption can cause the body to flush out magnesium through urine more rapidly.
High Phytate Foods: Large amounts of whole grains or raw nuts may slightly reduce mineral absorption.
5. Recommended Daily Intake
On average, adults require between 310–420 mg of magnesium per day (combined from whole foods and supplements).
6. Taste and Bitterness
A bitter or metallic taste is a natural chemical property of Magnesium. As an alkaline earth metal, its minerals naturally carry a sharp, bitter, or metallic profile when dissolved in water, similar to iron or zinc.
7. How to Manage the Bitter Taste
Increase Water Volume: Diluting the powder in 250–300 ml of ice-cold water masks the bitterness better than room-temperature water.
Mix with Citrus: Adding a squeeze of lemon or mixing with Vitamin C/fruit juice helps neutralize the mineral aftertaste.
Switch to Tablets: If you are highly sensitive to the taste, choosing the tablet form is the most effective way to bypass the flavor entirely.
8. Signs of Deficiency vs. Excess
Signs of Deficiency: Insomnia, high stress, frequent muscle cramps, eye twitching, or heart palpitations.
Signs of Excess: Diarrhea or loose stools—this indicates the dosage may be too high for your body to process at once.
9. Storage Instructions
- Keep the lid tightly sealed immediately after use.
- Do not remove the silica/desiccant packet.
- Ensure the measuring scoop is completely dry before use.
- Store in a cool, dry place (e.g., a pantry or shelf away from direct sunlight).
- Avoid heat and humidity: Do not store near stoves, on top of refrigerators, or in bathrooms.
- Do not refrigerate.
10. Precautions
While designed for performance and recovery, if you have underlying health conditions or are taking medication for blood pressure, antibiotics, or heart conditions, please consult a healthcare professional before starting a high-dose Magnesium regimen.
