What is Magnesium Breakthrough and who is it for?
Magnesium Breakthrough combines seven different forms of magnesium in a single formula. Most magnesium supplements contain only one or two forms, typically magnesium oxide or citrate. This product provides magnesium glycinate, citrate, malate, taurate, chelate, orotate, and Sucrosomial® magnesium, along with vitamin B6, manganese citrate, and a fulvic-humic mineral blend.
This approach makes sense if you’re looking for a comprehensive magnesium supplement rather than targeting a single form. Each magnesium compound has different absorption characteristics and tissue distribution patterns. Glycinate and bisglycinate forms are chelated to amino acids. Citrate binds to citric acid. Malate combines with malic acid. Taurate pairs with the amino acid taurine. The Sucrosomial® form uses a phospholipid delivery matrix.
Why This Formulation / How It Works
Most magnesium supplements use a single inorganic salt like oxide or a single organic form like glycinate. This formula combines seven different magnesium compounds, each with distinct chemical structures that influence where they’re absorbed and which tissues they reach.
The formula includes vitamin B6 as pyridoxine-5-phosphate (the active form), manganese citrate, and a fulvic-humic mineral blend with goMCT® (medium-chain triglycerides from coconut). The capsules use hypromellose (plant-based) rather than gelatin, with minimal excipients: microcrystalline cellulose for structure and ascorbyl palmitate (a fat-soluble form of vitamin C) as a preservative.
Different Magnesium Forms, Different Tissue Distribution
Magnesium bisglycinate and glycinate are chelated forms where magnesium binds to the amino acid glycine. This chelation protects the magnesium as it moves through the digestive tract. These forms are found in research on muscle tissue and nervous system applications.
Magnesium citrate, malate, and taurate are organic acid salts. Citrate pairs with citric acid (found in the Krebs cycle), malate with malic acid (also involved in cellular energy pathways), and taurate with the amino acid taurine (concentrated in cardiac and skeletal muscle). These forms appear in studies examining muscle function and cellular energy metabolism.
Specialized Delivery Forms
Sucrosomial® magnesium uses a phospholipid matrix to surround magnesium oxide particles. This creates a protective barrier that may influence how the compound moves through the digestive system. Magnesium orotate combines magnesium with orotic acid, a compound involved in pyrimidine synthesis (part of DNA and RNA production).
Cofactor Support
Vitamin B6 functions as a cofactor in over 100 enzyme reactions, including those involved in amino acid metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis. The formula uses pyridoxine-5-phosphate, which is already phosphorylated (the active form your body uses). Manganese serves as a cofactor for enzymes involved in bone formation, amino acid metabolism, and antioxidant function.
How to Use
The manufacturer recommends 2 capsules daily, providing 500 mg of elemental magnesium. Each serving contains approximately 71 mg from each of the seven forms, though the exact distribution varies by compound weight.
The formula can be taken with or without food. Organic magnesium salts (glycinate, citrate, malate, taurate) don’t require stomach acid for absorption, while inorganic forms may absorb better on an empty stomach. Some people find magnesium has a mild laxative effect when taken without food, particularly at higher doses.
BIOptimizers suggests a loading protocol for the first 4-6 weeks: starting with 3 capsules daily (1 morning, 1 afternoon, 1 before bed), increasing to 4 capsules in week 2, then 5 capsules in weeks 3-6, before returning to a maintenance dose of 2-4 capsules daily. This approach aims to replenish depleted stores more quickly than standard dosing.

Common Questions
How is this different from single-form magnesium supplements?
Most magnesium supplements contain one or two forms, typically oxide or glycinate. This formula provides seven different magnesium compounds, each with different molecular structures and tissue distribution patterns. The idea is that different forms may be utilized differently throughout the body, though research on multi-form combinations versus single forms is limited.
Why does this contain vitamin B6 and manganese?
Vitamin B6 is included based on research showing it may influence magnesium absorption and cellular uptake. Manganese serves as a cofactor for several enzymes and is involved in bone metabolism alongside magnesium. The amounts are relatively small (1.3 mg B6, 0.5 mg manganese per serving).
Can I take this if I’m already taking a different magnesium supplement?
That would give you a higher total magnesium dose. The tolerable upper intake level for supplemental magnesium is 350 mg daily for adults (not including dietary magnesium). This product provides 500 mg per serving. Taking additional magnesium could exceed recommended limits and may cause digestive upset. If you’re taking other supplements containing magnesium, calculate your total intake.
What’s the difference between the capsules and the drink powder versions?
The capsule form contains all seven magnesium types. The drink powder versions contain different formulations with added electrolytes and flavoring. Check the specific product labels, as the magnesium forms and amounts differ between formats.

Brand
BIOptimizers
BIOptimizers Supplements Australia
BIOptimizers is a North American supplement company with a focused range built around two common nutritional gaps: digestive enzyme capacity and magnesium sufficiency. Their Australian-available products address foundational needs rather than targeted therapeutic goals, making them a practical starting point for people managing general digestive function and sleep or stress-related magnesium depletion.
The brand's distinguishing characteristic is multi-form formulation. Rather than using a single enzyme type or a single magnesium compound, both products in the Fairfield range use multiple forms designed to broaden coverage - recognising that individuals absorb and respond differently depending on gut environment, genetics, and current health context.
| Product Range | Primary Application |
|---|---|
| MassZymes | Broad-spectrum digestive enzyme support, with emphasis on protein digestion |
| Magnesium Breakthrough | Multi-form magnesium for general repletion, sleep onset, and muscle function |
Both BIOptimizers products at Fairfield Nutrition share a common formulation logic: using multiple forms of a compound to account for individual variation in absorption and tissue response.
Why BIOptimizers' approach is different
Most magnesium supplements use one or two forms - typically oxide (high dose, lower absorption) or citrate (reasonable tolerance, moderate absorption). Different magnesium forms move through the body differently and tend to concentrate in different tissues: glycinate is generally well-tolerated and calming, malate is associated with energy-producing pathways in cells, and taurate has relevance to cardiovascular and nervous system tissue. Magnesium Breakthrough uses seven chelated and organically bonded forms, which means a single product can cover a broader range of physiological roles without requiring multiple separate supplements.
For digestive enzymes, the relevant question is usually not whether a product contains enzymes, but how much enzymatic activity is actually present. MassZymes is formulated for high protease activity - proteases are the enzymes that break dietary protein into the smaller peptides and amino acids the body can absorb. This distinction matters for people on high-protein dietary patterns where incomplete protein digestion is the underlying issue, rather than generalised bloating or food sensitivity.
The BIOptimizers range at Fairfield Nutrition
| Product | Best For | Key Ingredient(s) |
|---|---|---|
| BIOptimizers MassZymes | Supporting protein digestion, heaviness or discomfort after protein-rich meals, high-protein dietary patterns | High-activity protease blend with amylase and lipase |
| BIOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough | General magnesium repletion, sleep onset difficulty, muscle tension, stress-related depletion | Seven chelated and organically bonded magnesium forms |
Between the two products, the main decision point is whether digestive enzyme support or magnesium repletion is the more pressing need - they address distinct gaps and can be used independently or together. For magnesium, the multi-form approach suits people who have trialled single-form products without satisfactory results, or who want broader tissue coverage from one capsule. For digestive support, MassZymes is most relevant when discomfort or incomplete digestion follows high-protein meals specifically, rather than general digestive upset across all food types.
Why shop BIOptimizers at Fairfield Nutrition
We don't stock everything - we stock what we'd use. BIOptimizers products are stocked at Fairfield because their formulation logic is transparent and specific: the multi-form magnesium approach and the high-activity enzyme profile are clearly documented, and both products address genuine gaps rather than duplicating what basic supplementation already covers.
Magnesium Breakthrough earned its place in the range because multi-form magnesium products of this breadth are uncommon in the Australian market. Most locally available magnesium products use one or two forms, which limits their utility for people who do not respond predictably to standard glycinate or citrate formulas. Having a seven-form option available closes a real gap in what Fairfield can offer for magnesium repletion.
