Heart, bone & whole-body health, well-absorbed
Life Extension’s Magnesium Glycinate delivers 1,000 mg (105 mg elemental magnesium) of this widely popular form of magnesium, a vital mineral involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the human body.
What is Magnesium Glycinate?
Magnesium is good for your heart, bones, nerves and muscles. But these body systems use magnesium in different ways. Magnesium glycinate is special form of magnesium that is combined with the amino acid glycine. This form is well absorbed, allowing the different parts of your body to make use of it.
Looking for magnesium glycinate? This formula delivers 1,000 mg of this popular and well-absorbed form of magnesium.
Benefits of Magnesium Glycinate
- Magnesium supports heart, bone, muscle and nerve health
- Delivers a well-absorbed form of magnesium (as magnesium glycinate)
- Popular way to achieve daily magnesium intake for whole-body health
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. 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.
Why did you add Magnesium Glycinate to your lineup?
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.
What is in Magnesium Glycinate?
This product contains 1000 mg of magnesium bisglycinate, providing 105 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule.
Who is Magnesium Glycinate intended for?
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.
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. 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.

Don’t let stress weigh you down. Our Optimized Ashwagandha delivers a standardized extract of Withania somnifera, an Ayurvedic herb known to help relieve the effects of everyday stress.
What Is Optimized Ashwagandha?
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) helps your body manage the physiological effects of stress. Optimized Ashwagandha is made with Sensoril®, a clinically studied ashwagandha extract standardized to the active compounds known as withanolides that make this herb so good for your overall well-being.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) helps your body respond to everyday stress in a healthy way.
Optimized Ashwagandha Extract Benefits
- Supports a healthy response to everyday stress
- Promotes emotional well-being
- Encourages already-healthy levels of the stress hormone cortisol
Standardized Ashwagandha Extract
Active compounds in ashwagandha support a range of healthy functions. Our Optimized Ashwagandha Extract contains Sensoril® Ashwagandha extract made from both the root and leaf and is standardized to 32% oligosaccharides and 10% withanolide glycoside conjugates.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) has an extensive history of use in Indian Ayurvedic traditions, where it is used to promote healthy energy, emotional balance, and memory health. Our Optimized Ashwagandha provides 125 mg of standardized Sensoril® Ashwagandha Extract per serving.
Clinically studied for stress relief
Many clinical trials show ashwagandha offers a wide range of benefits, and helps balance the body’s response to stresses of day-to-day living. In fact, ashwagandha has become one of the most sought-after botanicals for stress management, with human and animal research finding it promotes a healthy stress response, memory health and cognition, overall well-being and more.
In a 60-day clinical trial, 130 adults with chronic stress were randomized to 125 mg of Sensoril® once or twice daily, 250 mg of Sensoril® twice daily, or placebo. At 60 days, all of the stress-related parameters being assessed were significantly improved in the groups receiving ashwagandha, with the higher doses eliciting a greater response. The ashwagandha extract also helped balance biological markers of stress and encouraged a healthy balance of the stress-related hormones cortisol and DHEA.
Ashwagandha, cognitive health and mood
Stress can also affect memory, concentration and mood. In the 60-day study, at each dose ashwagandha improved self-rating scores of cognitive function and mood. Specifically, ashwagandha helped relieve feelings of worry and irritability, and encouraged healthy memory and concentration.
The participants taking ashwagandha also had improvements in physical parameters related to stress such as stress-related muscle tension. Again, at the higher doses, greater improvements were seen.
Overall well-being and energy
Ashwagandha enhanced the reported well-being and energy level scores of study participants as well. Both well-being and general fatigue scores significantly improved in all groups given ashwagandha by day 30 and further improved by day 60—and again, no improvements were seen in the placebo group.

What Is Mega EPA/DHA?
Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil promote heart health, but they also offer benefits to maintain healthy, flexible joints and more. This pure, fresh fish oil provides the omega-3 fatty acids you need in easy-to-swallow softgels.
Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil promote heart health and offer robust support for brain, joints and more.
Mega EPA/DHA Benefits
- Promotes heart, joint & cognitive health
- Made with fresh, sustainably-sourced fish
- Helps balance omega-3 to omega-6 ratios
An Ideal First Fish Oil Supplement
Mega EPA/DHA is Life Extension’s entry-level fish oil supplement. It’s a convenient way to get your heart, mind and joint-friendly omega-3 fatty acids in an easy-to-swallow softgel. Mega EPA/DHA is ideal for anyone looking for an economical fish oil supplement or a formula with an adjustable dosage.
Omega-3s and heart health
Omega-3s are good for your heart.1 Research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids helps maintain a healthy heart. But the health benefits of fish oil support more than just the heart and vascular system.
Cognitive and joint health support
Omega-3s promote healthy cognitive function, help maintain your mood and encourage healthy blood flow in the brain.2-4 Omega-3s also inhibit inflammatory factors to support joint health.5 That makes taking an omega-rich fish oil supplement an important part of any joint health regimen.
Omega-3 vs. omega-6
There are two common omega fatty acids in our diets: omega-3s and omega-6s. They’re both essential to health, but balancing the two is even more important, especially since Westerners generally eat foods high in omega-6s and don’t get enough omega-3s. That makes omega-3 supplementation essential. For optimum health, the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids should be between 1:1 and 4:1.6
Made with pure, fresh fish oil
Mega EPA/DHA is made with fish oil sustainably sourced from anchovy caught wild in the South Pacific. Caught in a marine mammal-friendly fishery, these fish are processed in a facility located close to the fisheries to preserve freshness.
Each two-softgel serving of Mega EPA/DHA contains 720 mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 480 mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), making it an affordable and convenient way to get your daily omega-3s.

Help inhibit the effects of stress
Adrenal Energy Formula combines four stress-modulating extracts—holy basil, cordyceps, bacopa and ashwagandha—each scientifically validated to help support a healthy response to stress.
What Is Adrenal Energy Formula?
The body has a normal tendency toward homeostasis, a state of equilibrium across physiological systems. Supporting homeostasis is essential for health, but stress can hinder some aspects of our body’s ability to maintain homeostasis. Our formula contains botanical adaptogens shown to support a range of factors to help relieve the physical effects of stress.
Active compounds from holy basil, cordyceps, bacopa and ashwagandha support a healthy response to stress.
Adrenal Energy Formula Benefits
- Contains a complementary extract mix that helps maintain energy and focus
- Supports broad-spectrum healthy stress response
- Promotes the healthy process of homeostasis
Helps Maintain Healthy Balance
Adrenal Energy Formula combines four stress-modulating extracts—holy basil, cordyceps, bacopa and ashwagandha—each scientifically validated to support homeostasis, even on the most stressful days. These complementary botanical compounds can help support a healthy response to stress.
Up to 80% of visits to primary care physicians may be related to the effects of stress.1 One reason we so often seek help in supporting a healthy response to stress is that it's critical we support our bodies' ability to maintain homeostasis, or a state of equilibrium across physiological systems. Homeostasis is essential for health, so helping your body maintain homeostasis promotes a healthy physiological response to stress.
Botanical adaptogens help relieve stress
Fortunately, Life Extension has combined four potent extracts from botanical adaptogens. These compounds have been shown to modulate a broad range of factors to help relieve the effects of stress.
The four stress-modulating extracts from holy basil, cordyceps, bacopa and ashwagandha support homeostasis. Combined, they may complement each other to provide comprehensive adaptogenic stress defense.
The benefits of inhibiting stress response
Stress has been linked with shorter telomeres (the caps on the ends of chromosomes), suggesting that stress and aging may be linked.
Stress affects neurotransmitter production. In a pre-clinical study, stress inhibited neural plasticity (the ability of neurons to form new connections along neural communication pathways in response to new stimuli). So relieving stress may help support cognitive health.
For those who are seeking relief from the effects of stress, Adrenal Energy Formula™ is a broad-spectrum and potent formulation for maintaining healthy energy and vitality.
