Moxi Nutrition HydraMag Magnesium Glycinate Drink Mix
The mineral most of us miss
Magnesium helps your body make energy, keeps muscles and nerves working normally, and plays a part in more than 300 enzyme systems.
Yet when government researchers analyzed national nutrition survey data (NHANES 2013–2016), 48% of Americans got less magnesium from food and drinks than they need. Teens and men over 70 were the most likely to fall short.
Long training days, busy schedules and meals light on greens, nuts and seeds make the gap easy to miss.
So what's an easy, sugar-free way to close it?

TRAACS™ magnesium chelate
HydraMag uses Albion's TRAACS™ magnesium lysinate glycinate chelate: magnesium bonded to two amino acids, glycine and lysine. Moxi calls it "double bonded," and every milligram is chelate, not a cheaper filler form.
A small, simple amino acid. It's the "glycinate" in magnesium glycinate, the form people ask for by name.
A second amino acid partner. That pairing is what Moxi means by "double bonded."
Albion's patented chelate line, made specifically for supplements. Moxi sources its magnesium from Albion.
Moxi chose a chelate over common forms like magnesium citrate and oxide, which are known for their laxative effect.
What magnesium does
Magnesium is a working part of more than 300 enzyme systems in your body, including the ones behind energy production and normal muscle and nerve function.
A warm or cold glass in the evening as part of your wind-down routine, to promote restful sleep.*
Supports normal muscle function and relaxation, and aids recovery after hard training.*
Your body needs magnesium to turn food into usable energy.*
Supports a calm mood and mental balance on busy, stressful days.*
Stir one scoop into a water bottle. No pills to swallow, no chalky tablets.
Sweetened with stevia and colored with beet juice. No sugar, no erythritol, 12 calories.
The label says it's enjoyed hot or cold, so it fits a training day or a wind-down tea.
Why you need it
Magnesium comes mostly from leafy greens, nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains. Most of us don't eat enough of them, which is why so many people fall short.
One scoop of HydraMag gives you 150 mg, about 36% of the Daily Value, in a drink you'll actually look forward to.

Tested on Ironman athletes
Moxi ran a beta test with Ironman triathletes training 20+ hours a week, and checked red-blood-cell magnesium, a blood test that looks at magnesium inside the cell, before and after.
Source: Moxi's own beta test (MOXiLIFE triathlete white paper). Athletes ages 29–70 took 200–300 mg of the same TRAACS™ magnesium chelate daily, more than one scoop. It's a small pilot without a control group, not a clinical trial.
Read the label
Plenty of "electrolyte" drinks lead with sugar or sugar alcohols. HydraMag leads with magnesium: 150 mg of chelate in every scoop, sweetened with stevia.
A lot of sugar-free drink mixes use the sugar alcohol erythritol. HydraMag doesn't.
