Why take Magnesium Glycinate?
Let’s think of nutrients as tools that your body uses to accomplish different tasks. And like tools, different nutrients are needed to accomplish different things. Your body can even make use of the same nutrient (in this case, magnesium) in different ways, depending on the job. So what makes magnesium glycinate so special? This form of magnesium is bound to a pair of glycine amino acids (which is why it’s technically called magnesium bisglycinate). This results in an absorbable form of magnesium your body can easily make use of.
Magnesium and glycine: A well absorbed form
Magnesium glycinate, sometimes referred to as magnesium bisglycinate, is a form of magnesium complexed with two glycine amino acids, which provides a well absorbed form of magnesium. How? When combined with the amino acid glycine, it makes a type of magnesium that can be easily absorbed by the body.
It is important to maintain adequate magnesium status, and a dietary magnesium supplement taken consistently is an easy way to support healthy magnesium levels in the body. Individual factors such as concentration of elemental magnesium per dose and gastrointestinal tolerance can help guide the best form of magnesium to choose. There are two primary advantages for magnesium glycinate:
Well absorbed: Magnesium glycinate is a form of magnesium that is well absorbed by the body.
Easy on the GI tract: magnesium glycinate contains a lower concentration of elemental magnesium per dose, which can help alleviate occasional gastrointestinal discomfort that some people experience when taking magnesium.
Magnesium and whole-body health
Magnesium is involved in more than 300 biochemical reactions, including bone, heart, muscle and nerve health.
Bone health: Magnesium is necessary for maintaining strong bones and teeth. It helps regulate calcium levels in the body, which is important for healthy bone density.
Muscle and nerve function: Magnesium supports proper communication between nerve and muscle cells, promoting overall nervous system function and supporting healthy muscle contractions.
Heart health: Magnesium helps maintain a steady heartbeat and supports already healthy blood pressure levels. It also contributes to vascular and endothelial function.
FAQ
What is magnesium used for in the body?
Magnesium plays a role in over 300 biochemical processes, and can support muscle, nerve, bone and heart health, among other functions that promote whole-body health.

I already take a different form of magnesium. Should I take this instead?
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.
How is magnesium glycinate different from magnesium citrate?
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.
When is the best time to take Magnesium Glycinate? Should it be taken with food or on an empty stomach?
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.
Are there other forms of magnesium for specific health needs?
Yes! There are specific forms of magnesium that can help promote unique needs.
