E-Z MG™ by Standard Process: Benefits, Uses, Side Effects & Care
I want to share one of my favorite supplements for supporting relaxation, energy, and muscle function: E-Z MG™ by Standard Process. This gentle, plant-based source of magnesium has become one of my go-to recommendations for both people and pets who need a natural way to boost their mineral intake.
Magnesium is one of the most important nutrients in our bodies. It helps muscles relax, supports the heart and nervous system, and even plays a role in better sleep and stress balance. The best part about E-Z MG™ is that it’s made from real food sources, like organic buckwheat and Swiss chard, instead of synthetic magnesium salts.
Let’s go over how this supplement works, what’s in it, and who can benefit from adding it to their daily routine.

Key Benefits of E-Z MG™
Each serving of E-Z MG™ provides a balance of minerals that work together to support overall health.
Nutritional Highlights:
-
Magnesium (70 mg): Supports hundreds of vital body reactions, including nerve and muscle function.
-
Calcium (20 mg): Helps build and maintain strong bones.
-
Iron (6 mg): Essential for red blood cell production and oxygen delivery.
-
Vitamin K1 (36 mcg): Aids healthy blood clotting and bone metabolism.
-
Potassium (310 mg): Supports heart health and muscle balance.
Together, these nutrients promote calm energy, better focus, and long-term wellness.
Why magnesium matters:
Low magnesium can lead to muscle cramps, fatigue, irregular heartbeat, and restless sleep. I often find that when clients begin a high-quality magnesium supplement, they notice a difference in just a few days.
Plant-based advantage:
The organic buckwheat and Swiss chard juice powders in E-Z MG™ add naturally occurring phytonutrients—plant compounds that promote overall wellness and antioxidant protection.

How I Recommend E-Z MG™ in My Practice
I like to tailor this supplement based on what each person needs most. Here are a few ways it can help:
-
Muscle health: Supports proper muscle contraction and relaxation.
-
Heart function: Helps maintain normal rhythm and blood pressure.
-
Stress and sleep: Encourages calmness and restful sleep.
-
Bone health: Assists calcium absorption for strong bones.
Timing tips:
-
If you experience muscle cramps, take it in the evening to relax your body overnight.
-
For stress or focus support, try it earlier in the day.
I always remind clients that this is not a cure or treatment for disease. It’s a natural way to support nutrient balance and strengthen overall health from the inside out.

FAQs
What makes E-Z MG™ different from other magnesium supplements?
E-Z MG™ uses organic, plant-based sources like buckwheat and Swiss chard. This makes it easier for your body to absorb and gentler on your stomach compared to synthetic forms.
Can I take E-Z MG™ with other supplements?
Yes, it pairs well with many Standard Process products. However, if you take blood thinners or iron-rich supplements, talk with your healthcare provider before combining them.
How long before I notice results?
Most people feel improvement in sleep, mood, or muscle comfort within one to two weeks. Consistent daily use gives the best results.
Is it safe for long-term use?
Yes, when taken as directed. Since it’s food-based, your body uses what it needs and safely eliminates the rest.
Can pets use E-Z MG™?
While it’s designed for humans, magnesium is important for animals too. I often recommend separate, pet-formulated magnesium products for safety and dosing accuracy.
E-Z MG™-Organic, 180 Tablets
Description
- Brain health*
- Neurotransmitter activity*
- Healthy Stress Levels*
- Sleep quality*
Our research has shown that magnesium in E-Z Mg is superior to magnesium citrate and glycinate forms in crossing the blood brain barrier in a magnesium-deficient animal model.
E-Z Mg is made from two key ingredients – Swiss chard (beet leaf) and buckwheat – both grown on our sustainable and certified organic farm in Wisconsin. These plants, high in magnesium, contribute to the multiple forms of magnesium available in E-Z Mg, helping take the guesswork out of which kind of magnesium to take.
The naturally-occurring magnesium in E-Z Mg is not expected to contribute to gastrointestinal side effects that are common in other forms of magnesium supplements.
What is the Benefit of Multiform Magnesium (Mg)?
The best source of magnesium is naturally-occurring and obtained from the diet. Various forms of magnesium make use of different uptake sites in the gut1 with 40% of magnesium absorption taking place throughout the intestines.2
Plant-based magnesium, like that found in E-Z Mg, is considered ideal as it consists of a collection of various magnesium forms. Since plant-based magnesium contains multiple forms, it helps take the guesswork out of which kind of magnesium to take.
The plant-based, magnesium in E-Z Mg may be absorbed by the body the way nature intended.
Why is There a Gap in Dietary Magnesium Intake?
The Standard American Diet (SAD) is high in processed foods and carbohydrates, low in vitamins and minerals. This inadequate daily intake of plant materials helps contribute to magnesium deficiency in more than 50% of the population.3,4 Data also suggests that produce - especially vegetables - has experienced a decline in mineral content over the last century.5
Signs of low magnesium may include:^
- Mild headaches
- Lack of mental clarity
- Muscle twitches
- Tremors
- Cramps
- Fatigue
- Muscle weakness
- Mood change
- Concern with glucose management difficulties
^E-Z Mg may not address these concerns and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Key Ingredients
E-Z Mg consists of extracts of two key ingredients: organic dried Swiss chard (beet leaf) juice and organic dried buckwheat (aerial parts) juice delivering 70 mg of elemental magnesium. The 70 mg of magnesium (approximately 17% of the RDI) would be sufficient to bridge the magnesium dietary intake gap for around 70% of the population. The remaining 30% (composed of individuals at the lowest end of dietary magnesium intake) are advised to increase their intake of plant-based diet along with E-Z Mg.
A Higher Standard of Support
A recent animal study has shown that E-Z Mg is able to elevate free ionic Mg in the cerebrospinal fluid following 14 days of oral supplementation.6
