Mag Phos
No. 8 · Magnesium phosphate
Explore Mag Phos No. 8, magnesium phosphate in the Schüssler tradition, with traditional muscle-comfort context, label guidance and both individual and combination products.
What is Mag Phos?
Mag Phos is the abbreviated name for magnesium phosphate in the Schüssler tissue salt tradition. It is No. 8 in our range. You may also encounter the longer name Magnesia phosphorica in traditional reference material.
This guide explains its identity, traditional associations and the differences between an individual preparation, a combination formula and nutritional magnesium. It also brings together the products in our collection that list Mag Phos.

- Traditional themeMuscle comfort
Mag Phos in the tissue salt tradition
Traditional tissue salt literature associates Mag Phos with muscle comfort and relaxation. The title “muscle relaxant” sometimes appears in historical descriptions and product names, reflecting its place within that framework.
Those associations explain the tradition; they do not establish that the tablets relieve cramps, treat pain or relax muscles. A traditional title is not an individual treatment plan, and it does not identify the cause of discomfort.
For readers learning about the twelve salts, it helps to distinguish the mineral name from the traditional theme and the finished product directions. Each provides a different kind of information.
Mag Phos and nutritional magnesium
The word magnesium appears in both tissue salt and nutritional supplement descriptions, but the finished preparations should not be assumed to be equivalent. The mineral name alone does not tell you how much elemental magnesium a product supplies.
A tissue salt potency or dilution notation describes its preparation. It is not a magnesium amount in milligrams. No. 8 identifies the salt in this range and is neither a dose instruction nor a measure of magnesium content.
If you are comparing products, read their full labels and intended format. You can explore the separate magnesium ingredient guide for the broader topic. Do not use a tissue salt as a way to correct a magnesium deficiency.
Where you will find Mag Phos
Mag Phos appears in two products in our current collection. The individual preparation and the children's combination have different formulations, so check each pack separately.

View product details →Understanding the other phosphate names
Several tissue salts share the “Phos” ending, but each has a different full identity. Calc Phos is calcium phosphate, Kali Phos is potassium phosphate and Ferr Phos is iron phosphate.
Mag Phos is the magnesium phosphate preparation. Similar names do not make these products interchangeable. A combination formula brings named salts together in a particular finished product; it is not an instruction to recreate that combination using separate packs.
To explore the other ingredients listed in Bones & Teeth KIDZ Minerals, visit Calc Fluor, Calc Phos and Silica.
Checking the label and storing your tablets
Look for the full ingredients, tablet base, preparation strength, pack size and directions. The current individual Mag Phos description does not specify its dilution or complete tablet base. We do not infer those details from another brand or from the KIDZ formula.
If you avoid lactose, dairy or another ingredient, check the actual product label. The KIDZ combination explicitly contains lactose. Contact us before ordering if you need a detail confirmed for either product.
Follow the amount and method on the finished pack. Check individual suitability with an appropriate practitioner during pregnancy or breastfeeding, when taking medication or when choosing for a child. Persistent or unexplained discomfort deserves individual assessment.
Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat, out of reach of children. Retain the packaging for its directions and batch details, and do not use the KIDZ product if its safety seal is damaged.
