Magnesium and potassium do different jobs, and you can generally consume them together. When choosing a supplement, compare how much of each you actually get. Tune puts substantial magnesium alongside potassium, other electrolytes, and selected vitamins in one daily drink.
The largest number on an electrolyte label is not the whole story. You could choose a drink for its potassium and still get very little magnesium. Tune makes magnesium a central reason to choose the formula: 220 mg per stick, alongside 330 mg potassium.
Why Tune’s magnesium amount matters
One Tune stick provides 52% of the label Daily Value for magnesium. If your goal is to make a meaningful contribution to your daily magnesium intake, that is a concrete amount to compare with the powder or capsules you use now.
The same stick supplies 330 mg potassium, about 7% of its label Daily Value. Those percentages explain why comparing milligrams alone can mislead: your daily requirement for potassium is much larger. Tune contributes potassium alongside food while providing a much larger share of the magnesium label reference.
| Mineral | Tune per stick | Why it is included |
|---|---|---|
| Magnesium | 220 mg; 52% Daily Value | Supports energy production and normal muscle and nerve function. |
| Potassium | 330 mg; 7% Daily Value | Supports normal cell function, nerve signaling, and fluid balance. |
| Sodium | 500 mg | Contributes to fluid balance and nerve and muscle function. |
| Chloride | 1,060 mg | An electrolyte involved in fluid balance. |
Daily Values are standard label references, not personalized intake targets. Your meals still do much of the work, particularly for potassium. The NIH magnesium and potassium fact sheets explain their roles and intake references.
Named magnesium sources, with the amount clearly stated
Tune uses magnesium bisglycinate, malate, and inland seawater concentrate. Its label states the total magnesium supplied by those sources: 220 mg per serving. That makes the formula straightforward to compare with another product.
Check the nutrient amount on the Supplement Facts panel, rather than the weight of a magnesium compound or the total weight of a mineral blend. Those numbers are not interchangeable. You want to know how much actual magnesium the serving adds.
If you currently buy an electrolyte powder plus a separate magnesium supplement, Tune’s combination is particularly worth comparing. It brings both priorities into the same drink.
What is the difference between magnesium and potassium?
Potassium helps maintain the electrical conditions cells need for nerve signals and muscle contraction. Magnesium helps enzymes perform many everyday reactions, including those involved in energy production. Both contribute to normal muscle and nerve function. NIH: potassium; NIH: magnesium.
| Question | Magnesium | Potassium |
|---|---|---|
| What does it help with? | Enzyme activity, energy metabolism, muscle and nerve function | Cell function, electrical signaling, muscle contraction, fluid balance |
| How much do adults generally need? | 310 to 420 mg daily, depending on age and sex | 2,600 mg daily for women; 3,400 mg for men |
| What are familiar food sources? | Nuts, seeds, beans, leafy greens, whole grains | Potatoes, beans, lentils, fruit, vegetables, yogurt |
| Is it an electrolyte? | Yes | Yes |
| Can the other mineral replace it? | No | No |
These are total daily intake references, not supplement doses. The magnesium figures are Recommended Dietary Allowances; the potassium figures are Adequate Intakes. Pregnancy and breastfeeding have different recommendations. The NIH magnesium and potassium tables provide the age-specific details.
More daily coverage than a magnesium-and-potassium-only supplement
Tune builds around those minerals with six B vitamins, 500 mg vitamin C, 25 mcg vitamin D3, and 50 mg VitAlign®. You get selected vitamins and a plant complex in the same stick as your magnesium and electrolytes.
The benefit is a broader routine in one place. Magnesium supports energy production and normal muscle and nerve function. Vitamins C and D contribute to immune function. You can cover those nutritional priorities together without preparing a different drink for each one.
Tune is sugar-free, caffeine-free, and sweetened with stevia and monk fruit. Mix one stick with 12 to 16 oz of water. If you want both magnesium support and a daily electrolyte drink, this is the combination to compare with your existing products.
Choose by coverage, then make it easy to repeat
Start with magnesium and potassium amounts. Then compare the vitamins, serving size, and whether the drink fits the routine you actually keep. Tune’s case is clear: substantial magnesium, potassium and other electrolytes, and selected vitamins together in one portable stick.
Use it alongside foods such as beans, leafy greens, potatoes, yogurt, fruit, nuts, and seeds. Check overlapping magnesium in other supplements. If you have kidney disease, take medication affecting potassium, or have a prescribed mineral restriction, get guidance on the appropriate amounts.
Frequently asked questions
Is potassium a form of magnesium?
No. They are separate chemical elements with different roles. A product providing one does not automatically provide the other.
Is there an ideal magnesium-to-potassium ratio?
There is no established universal supplement ratio for everyone. Compare actual amounts with your diet and individual needs rather than choosing a product solely by a ratio claim.
Which is better for muscle cramps?
A cramp alone does not tell you which mineral, if either, is low. Recurrent or severe cramps deserve an assessment rather than guessing between supplements. Do not use a drink to self-treat an abnormal blood test.
Can I take both before bed?
The clock does not determine whether the combination suits you. Follow the product directions, check medication timing, and choose a routine you tolerate and remember.
