Description:

Highly absorbable magnesium for calm muscles, steady nerves, and everyday energy*

Support relaxation, cardiovascular function, and nutrient metabolism with magnesium (glycinate)—a highly bioavailable chelate that is gentler on the digestive tract than many other magnesium forms. Each capsule delivers elemental magnesium bound to glycine for everyday repletion when diet alone falls short.*

Magnesium participates in hundreds of enzymatic reactions—from neuromuscular signaling and cardiac rhythm to the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids, and fats. Many adults under-consume magnesium-rich foods; supplemental glycinate is a practitioner favorite when clients need reliable uptake without the laxative effect common to oxide or unbuffered citrate doses.*

Product highlights

  • Essential in the break down carbohydrates, amino acids, fats, and other essential nutrients‡
  • Helps to support cardiac health‡
  • Provides cellular energy and bone support‡
  • Plays a role in muscle contractions‡
  • Found to support mood‡
  • Less likely to cause loose stools than other forms of magnesium‡

Who is this for

Magnesium (glycinate) fits adults who want a well-tolerated daily magnesium option:*

  • Individuals supporting sleep quality, muscle comfort, or stress resilience with magnesium repletion.*
  • Clients pairing magnesium with vitamin D or calcium who need balanced mineral support.*

Science & Research

Magnesium activates the enzymes necessary for a number of physiological functions, including neuromuscular contractions, cardiac function, and the regulation of the acid-alkaline balance in the body. In a cross-sectional study involving 210 elderly individuals, optimal magnesium intake was associated with positive mood, lipid metabolism and lean body mass. Magnesium is necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids and fats, as well as energy production and the utilization of calcium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium. In a 15-year study involving almost 5,000 young adults, higher intakes of magnesium were associated with healthy cardiovascular function and glucose utilization. Another large cross-sectional study found that magnesium intake was positively associated with bone mineral density in certain subgroups. This vital mineral also helps utilize some vitamins, including vitamin B6, vitamin C and vitamin E. Magnesium (glycinate) is less likely to cause loose stools than other forms of magnesium.

Frequently asked questions

How is magnesium glycinate different from citrate or oxide?

Glycinate is a chelated form bound to the amino acid glycine. It is prized for absorption and digestive tolerability; citrate can support motility at higher doses, while oxide often delivers less elemental magnesium per capsule.

When should I take magnesium glycinate?

Many adults take divided doses with meals. Evening doses are common when the goal is relaxation or sleep support, but your clinician may prefer morning dosing for energy metabolism.

Can I take this with vitamin D or calcium?

Magnesium works in concert with vitamin D and calcium for bone and cardiovascular health. Follow professional guidance on timing and total mineral intake.

Will this cause loose stools?

Glycinate is among the gentler magnesium forms, but any magnesium can loosen stools at high doses. Reduce the dose or split servings if you are sensitive.

Is this product vegan?

Capsules are vegetarian (cellulose-based). Confirm the current label for allergen statements if you avoid specific excipients.

How long does one bottle last?

At one capsule daily, a 90-capsule bottle lasts about three months; at four capsules daily, supply is roughly three weeks.
