Direction 1
Every blood-sugar spike
When glucose rises, your kidneys work to stabilize it — and dump magnesium in the process. The higher and more frequent the spikes, the more you lose. It's a leak that runs all day.

For diabetics over 60
Your Diabetes Medications Have Been Quietly Draining One Mineral. Here's the 3-month timeline when you finally replace it.
If your A1c keeps creeping up no matter what you do, this is the part nobody explains at the pharmacy counter.

If you're a diabetic over 60, you've probably had the same conversation with your doctor more than once. Your A1c is up again. Nobody can quite say why. You leave with a new prescription, or a higher dose of the old one — and six months later you're back in the same chair.
Here's the part that almost never gets explained: the medications keeping your numbers in check are also quietly draining one specific mineral — and that mineral happens to be the co-factor your body needs to make insulin sensitivity, nerve function and energy production actually work.
The mineral is magnesium. And as a diabetic, you're losing it faster than almost anyone else on the planet.
In this article
- Why diabetics lose magnesium from three directions at once — including from metformin
- The week-by-week pattern people report when they refill it
- The 12-form complex built for the systems diabetics need most — under $1 a day
Why diabetics run empty
You're losing magnesium from three directions at once.
Each one on its own would be manageable. Together, they empty the tank faster than any normal diet can refill it.
Direction 2
Metformin
The foundation diabetes drug actively depletes magnesium stores. This is documented in peer-reviewed research and it isn't disputed — it just isn't mentioned at the pharmacy counter.
Direction 3
The diuretic for your other numbers
Most diabetics over 60 also take something for blood pressure or fluid. Diuretics flush minerals — magnesium included — straight out with the water.
So you're losing it from three directions — while your body needs it more than ever.
Losing it from three directions — while your body needs it more than ever.
Magnesium isn't a "nice to have" mineral. It's the co-factor required for insulin sensitivity, nerve protection and energy production. Without enough of it, the whole system runs rough:
- Your insulin can't clear glucose the way it should
- Your nerves start to deteriorate — feet first
- Your cells can't produce energy, so you feel it by mid-afternoon
- Your A1c keeps climbing while everyone shrugs and adds another prescription
Your diabetes may not be getting worse. Your mineral tank may just be empty — and the only way to find out is to fill it.
That's the reframe that changes everything. Instead of asking "what new drug do I add," you ask "what did the last three drugs take out?" — and you replace it.
The next 90 days
Here's what happens when you finally replace what's been drained.
This is the pattern we hear back most often. It isn't instant — it's a sequence.
-
WK 1
Week 1
The 3am bathroom trips start dropping.
Sleep gets deeper. You wake up and — for the first time in months — you don't feel like you got hit by a truck. This is usually the first thing people notice, and it's the one that makes them keep going.
-
WK 2
Week 2
Your fasting number starts creeping down.
Not dramatically — maybe 5 to 8 points. But it's moving, and it's moving in the right direction for the first time in years.
-
WK 4
Week 4
The tingling in your feet eases up.
Your energy comes back enough that you're not staring at walls anymore. Your spouse notices before you do.
-
MO 3
Month 3
Your A1c comes back — and it went down.
For the first time. Your doctor looks at you differently. Doesn't add a pill. Might even reduce one.
These results aren't guarantees — everyone responds differently. But the pattern is consistent.

Why not just grab any magnesium off the shelf?
Because most of what's on the shelf is one form — usually oxide, the cheapest one — and different forms do different jobs. Glycinate for nerves and sleep won't do what taurate does for glucose, and neither touches what threonate does for the fog. Buying five bottles to cover the bases is how people end up with a drawer full of half-used supplements and no plan.
PureNyx puts all 12 forms in one serving — two capsules with dinner. That's the whole routine. No pill fatigue, no bathroom-cabinet chemistry set.
These results aren't guarantees. Everyone responds differently. But the pattern is consistent: when diabetics refill their magnesium stores, their bodies start cooperating for the first time in years.— straight from our own product video, because we'd rather under-promise
One practical note: the timeline above runs about 90 days. One bottle is a 30-day supply. Most people who see it through pick the Buy 2, Get 1 Free option — three bottles for $45.90, a full 90-day supply, long enough to get through the whole arc before you decide.

Three questions we get every day
"Will this interfere with my metformin?"
Magnesium is a mineral your body already needs, and metformin depletes it — replacing it is the point. That said, always tell your doctor what you take. If you have kidney concerns, ask first; kidneys are how the body regulates magnesium.
"How fast will I notice anything?"
Sleep is usually first — often inside week one. The glucose and nerve changes take longer, which is why the Buy 2, Get 1 Free option (a 90-day supply) is what we recommend. Judge it at the end of the timeline, not on day 6.
"What if it doesn't do anything for me?"
Then you email us within 30 days and you get your money back. We'd rather refund you than have you keep something that isn't working — that's the whole reason the guarantee exists.
