Magnesium Glycinate

Magnesium plays a role in over 600 biochemical processes, and can support muscle, nerve, bone and heart health, among other functions that promote whole-body health. It’s important to get enough of this mineral, yet studies have found that as many as 60% of Americans don’t get enough magnesium in their diets.

You asked and we delivered! Magnesium Glycinate is a widely popular and well-absorbed form of magnesium that we added to our product lineup to meet high consumer demand.

This product contains magnesium from magnesium bisglycinate, providing 105 mg per capsule.

In the case of magnesium glycinate, magnesium is bound to a non-essential amino acid called glycine. Because it is bound to the amino acid, it can be absorbed through amino acid transport pathways—a method that enhances magnesium absorption.

Magnesium Glycinate is for anyone looking for this popular, bioavailable and well-absorbed form of magnesium to support their healthy levels of this important mineral.

Choosing a specific magnesium comes down to individual preference and will depend on what you are looking for in a supplement. Everyone’s needs vary, but you can support your healthy levels with several different forms of this mineral. For a well-absorbed form, magnesium glycinate is a great option. No matter which magnesium you take, it is important that you are taking dietary magnesium consistently at the right dose every day to keep your levels healthy.

The major difference between magnesium glycinate and magnesium citrate is the compound that each magnesium is bound to. Magnesium glycinate is a form of magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine, and magnesium citrate is a form of magnesium that is combined with citric acid. While both forms are popular for promoting heart, bone and whole-body health due to their individual bioavailability, choosing between the two comes down to individual preference. Either choice can help you meet your daily magnesium needs.

We suggest taking one capsule one to three times daily. This can be taken any time of day, with or without food. As with any supplement, it’s important to always follow the instructions on the product label to ensure you are taking it properly.

Yes! There are specific forms of magnesium that can help promote unique needs. For example, magnesium L-threonate is studied for healthy cognitive function, magnesium acetyl taurinate is intended for stress management, and magnesium carbonate can help fight occasional constipation. These can be taken in addition to your daily magnesium.

There is no indication that the nutrients within this formula would negatively interact with prescription medications. However, we always suggest that you inform your physician of any supplements you are taking.
