THE STORY

Beyond the Sleep Story

Veloforte is an award-winning UK nutrition brand, known for natural energy, protein and recovery products built on real ingredients rather than artificial shortcuts.

With 50 Great Taste Awards and 33,000+ five-star reviews, the brand has built its reputation on formulating without compromise.

For MagnesiumPro, Veloforte set out to challenge a narrow assumption: that magnesium is mainly a sleep supplement. Founder Lara Giusti wanted a formula that reflected the mineral's much broader role in energy production, nervous system function, muscle recovery and long-term balance - Veloforte's second foundational-health launch after CollagenPro.

To deliver the plant-based vitamin layer of the formula, Veloforte returned to BIOVIT.

The Challenge

One Form Was Never Going to Be Enough

Most magnesium supplements on the market lean on a single form, dosed well below the recommended daily intake, and are often bulked out with fillers or synthetic vitamins.

Veloforte wanted the opposite: four complementary, high-purity forms of magnesium at a full 375mg serving - 100% of the daily recommended intake - in one capsule, alongside plant-based vitamins and natural botanicals, without any compromise on their clean-label, vegan positioning.

That combination proved hard to source. Formulating a genuinely comprehensive, multi-form complex while holding full label-claim compliance across a 24-month shelf life ruled out most premix suppliers, who could typically offer either the natural credentials or the stability data, but rarely both.

The BIOVIT Solution

The Vitamin Layer Behind a 4-in-1 Formula

Veloforte's formulation team combined four bioavailable magnesium forms - Glycinate for relaxation and nervous system balance, Malate for energy production, Taurate for metabolic and cellular function, and Aquamin® marine magnesium for electrolyte balance - with natural botanical extracts (ginger, turmeric and black pepper as BioPerine®) to support absorption and recovery.

BIOVIT supplied the plant-based vitamin layer that completes the formula: vitamin D3 from lichen extract for muscle function, bone maintenance, and immune support; vitamin B6 from lemon peel extract for psychological function, immune system health, and hormone regulation; and vitamin B12 from shiitake mushroom extract for energy metabolism, neurological function, and reduced fatigue.

The vitamin blend was dry-blended into capsule form, holding full label-claim compliance across a 24-month shelf life without a single synthetic input.

The Result

A New Category for Veloforte

MagnesiumPro launched in June 2026 to a 4.9★ average rating from 32 reviews, with 97% of reviewers saying they'd recommend it - Veloforte's second foundational-health product after CollagenPro.

“Synthetic fortification was never an option. Veloforte’s entire range is forged from natural real food ingredients so when it came to developing MagnesiumPro there was simply no compromise.” - Lara Giusti

BIOVIT's contribution is named directly on pack, reinforcing the natural-credentials story for a customer base that increasingly reads labels before it buys.

EFSA Health Claims Enabled

What the Label Can Say

BIOVIT's blend of D3, B6 and B12 enables the following 9 EFSA-approved health claims on pack:

Vitamin D3 — Contributes to normal muscle function, the maintenance of normal bones, and the normal function of the immune system.

Vitamin B6 — Contributes to normal psychological function, the normal function of the immune system, and the regulation of hormonal activity.

Vitamin B12 — Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, the normal function of the nervous system, and a reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Why This Matters

This case study demonstrates three things that matter for any supplement brand.

Natural credentials scale into complex formulas

A 4-in-1 complex with three added vitamins is a harder natural-sourcing brief than a single-ingredient product - BIOVIT delivered the full vitamin layer without a synthetic fallback.

Reviews reward reformulated categories

A 4.9★ launch and 97% recommend rate show that repositioning an established category (magnesium, beyond sleep) doesn't cost trust when the formulation backs up the story.

One supplier, multiple product lines

MagnesiumPro is BIOVIT's second Veloforte collaboration after CollagenPro - proof that a natural ingredient partnership can scale across a brand's wider range.
