Magnesium Glycinate

Take 2 – 3 capsules daily.

Magnesium can be taken at any time of the day. However, if you’re looking to support sleep and promote relaxation, consider taking it in the evening. This is because the glycine in Magnesium Glycinate can have a calming effect that may help improve sleep quality.

Magnesium supplements can sometimes cause gastrointestinal discomfort or diarrhea. Although Magnesium Glycinate is known to be the gentlest on the stomach, if you experience any side effects while taking it, consider taking it with a meal to help reduce discomfort.

We do not recommend exceeding 6 capsules in a single 24-hour period.

Magnesium Glycinate image 3 1

What is it?

A form of magnesium that combines magnesium with the amino acid glycine, Magnesium Glycinate is known for its ability to be easily absorbed by the body. Known to support over 300 bodily reactions, ample levels of magnesium are associated with restorative sleep, improved cognition and brain health, a healthy blood sugar response, and high bone density.

How it works?

Magnesium glycinate’s high rate of absorption is due to its binding with glycine, which enhances magnesium’s solubility and intestinal absorption while minimising its laxative effect.

Magnesium acts as an essential nutrient by serving as a cofactor for over 300 enzymatic reactions necessary for essential bodily functions. Cofactors assist enzyme reactions by stabilising interactions or participating directly in the chemical transformation. To name a few:

In the mitochondria, magnesium acts as a cofactor for enzymes to convert food (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) into cellular energy known as ATP. Once created, Magnesium also stabilises the structure by binding to ATP, making it available for various cellular processes.

Magnesium also assists with GABA by regulating its activity and promoting its binding to GABA receptors. Magnesium acts as a natural calcium blocker, preventing excessive calcium from entering neurons, which can lead to overstimulation. This allows GABA, the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter, to function more effectively in calming the nervous system.

Magnesium is essential for brain function by influencing the growth and density of new brain connections.

Why is it important?

Optimal magnesium levels help manage stress and promote relaxation, as low magnesium disrupts GABA regulation, affecting sleep and increasing stress. Magnesium is also important for muscle function and relaxation, helping prevent cramps and tension, especially in active individuals. Additionally, it supports efficient energy production, as low magnesium can impair cellular energy production, leading to fatigue, reduced endurance, and compromised cellular function.

Magnesium and longevity

As we age, magnesium levels decline due to diet, reduced absorption, and increased excretion. This decline impacts energy levels, muscle health, and nervous system function. By supporting cellular energy production, muscle recovery, and relaxation, magnesium glycinate helps maintain physical and mental ability, which is essential for healthy ageing and longevity.

Is Magnesium Glycinate right for you?

Consider the following statements. If you find one or more relatable, Magnesium Glycinate might be the support you’ve been searching for:

  • I’m looking to supplement with essential nutrients, but I want to avoid any gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with magnesium supplements.
  • I’ve noticed my energy dips throughout the day, and I’ve read magnesium plays a critical role in energy production. 
  • Despite getting adequate rest, I often wake up feeling unrefreshed. I’m looking for ways to improve my sleep quality.
  • I experience muscle cramps or twitches, which I’ve heard can be related to magnesium deficiency. 
  • Stress is a constant presence in my life, and I’m seeking natural methods to enhance my resilience and stress response.
  • I’ve been advised to increase my magnesium intake, but I am looking for a form that is easy for my body to absorb and utilise effectively.

Certainty of purity.

We are committed to the following quality controls to ensure consistency, reliability, and transparency in every product. Our goal is to raise industry standards and give you clear reasons to trust what you’re taking.

Frequently Asked Questions

‘Fully reacted’ means the magnesium in the supplement has completely bonded with glycine, providing a consistent, reliable dose of magnesium. Some products ‘buffer’ magnesium with cheaper forms like magnesium oxide to increase magnesium content without improving quality. We ensure only fully reacted magnesium glycinate in your capsules for purity and better results.

Yes, magnesium glycinate and magnesium bisglycinate refer to the same compound, just with different names. Both contain one magnesium ion bound to two glycine molecules, with identical molecular structures (C4H8MgN2O4). The term ‘magnesium glycinate’ is a common name, while ‘magnesium bisglycinate’ is the precise chemical term. The belief that magnesium glycinate contains only one glycine molecule is incorrect; this form doesn’t exist. You can verify this on PubChem: Glycinate and Bisglycinate.

When calcium enters a cell, it activates numerous processes within that cell, including neurochemical release and muscle activation, both of which can disrupt sleep. Magnesium works to limit how much calcium can enter a cell and, in doing so, slows down any excess activity in the body, leading to a calmer, more relaxed state. Having a high body temperature at night can inhibit sleep. Glycine works alongside magnesium to help lower the core body temperature by increasing blood flow to the skin, allowing excess heat to leave the body.

Collectively, these mechanisms of Magnesium Glycinate may help to calm and cool the body, preparing it for a restful night of sleep.

People who take prescription medications should consult with their doctor before taking magnesium supplements. Magnesium can interfere with how the body processes certain medications. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also consult with their doctor before supplementing with magnesium.
