Clinical Description
Magnesium Glycinate is a chelated form of magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine, offering superior bioavailability and gentleness on the digestive system. Each capsule provides 500mg of magnesium glycinate complex, delivering approximately 50mg of elemental magnesium. Unlike other forms of magnesium, glycinate does not cause laxative effects, making it ideal for individuals with sensitive stomachs or those who experienced digestive upset with other magnesium forms. The glycine component provides additional calming benefits, as glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and supports healthy sleep architecture. Clinical research shows magnesium glycinate is particularly effective for anxiety, restlessness, and sleep disorders. It supports GABA production, the brain’s primary calming neurotransmitter, and helps regulate the HPA axis (stress response system). Magnesium glycinate also supports muscle relaxation, cardiovascular health, and bone density. This form is preferred by practitioners for patients with anxiety, insomnia, or digestive sensitivity. Our magnesium glycinate is manufactured using a proprietary chelation process that ensures maximum stability and absorption.

How do I take Magnesium Glycinate?
Take 3-4 capsules in the evening, 30-60 minutes before bed, with water. You can take with or without food. For daytime anxiety support, split the dose: 2 capsules mid-afternoon and 2 capsules before bed. Start with 2 capsules if you're new to magnesium.
What are the side effects?
Magnesium glycinate is extremely well-tolerated and gentle on the stomach. Unlike magnesium citrate or oxide, it does NOT cause loose stools or diarrhea. Some people may feel slightly drowsy, which is why it's best taken in the evening. No significant side effects are expected at recommended doses.
Can I combine this with other supplements?
Yes, magnesium glycinate combines excellently with other supplements. It's particularly synergistic with Vitamin D, calcium, B vitamins, and omega-3s. It can also be combined with other calming supplements like L-theanine or GABA for enhanced relaxation. Take 2 hours apart from thyroid medications.
When will I see results?
Many people notice improved sleep quality and a sense of calm within 3-7 days. For anxiety reduction, allow 2-3 weeks of consistent use. For muscle cramps or restless legs, benefits typically appear within 1-2 weeks. Magnesium works cumulatively, so consistent daily use provides the best results.
Is this safe for long-term use?
Yes, magnesium glycinate is safe and beneficial for long-term daily use. It's one of the gentlest and most effective forms of magnesium. Many people take it indefinitely for sleep, anxiety, and overall health support. If you have kidney disease, consult your doctor before long-term use.
What's the difference between Magnesium Glycinate and Magnesium Citrate?
Magnesium glycinate is gentler and doesn't cause loose stools, making it ideal for sensitive stomachs. It's more calming due to the glycine component and better for anxiety and sleep. Magnesium citrate is also well-absorbed but has a mild laxative effect, making it better if you also want digestive support. For pure relaxation and sleep, glycinate is superior.
Will this make me drowsy during the day?
Magnesium glycinate promotes relaxation but is not a sedative. Most people don't experience daytime drowsiness. However, if you're very sensitive, start with an evening dose. Some people do take it during the day for anxiety without drowsiness, but evening use is recommended for sleep support.
