Magnesium Glycinate — chelated for superior absorption. Supports relaxation, restful sleep, muscle recovery, and stress balance. Vegetable capsules. Gentle on the stomach.
We chose Magnesium Glycinate specifically — not magnesium oxide (cheap, poorly absorbed, causes GI distress) and not magnesium citrate (better absorbed, but laxative effect at higher doses). Glycinate is the chelated form: magnesium bound to glycine, an amino acid with its own calming and sleep-supportive properties. That pairing matters. Up to 70% of people are estimated to fall short of adequate magnesium intake, and deficiency shows up as poor sleep, muscle tension, low energy, and heightened stress response. The glycinate form corrects that deficit efficiently, without the digestive side effects that make other forms hard to take consistently. Clean excipients — hypromellose vegetable capsule, rice flour filler. No unnecessary additives. This is the form we would recommend to anyone serious about actually addressing a deficiency, not just checking a supplement box.
Description
Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic processes in the body — yet up to 70% of people don't get enough. Poor sleep, muscle tension, low energy, and a heightened stress response are often the first signs. Magnesium Glycinate addresses all of it.
The glycinate form is chelated — bound to glycine, an amino acid that's calming in its own right — making it one of the most bioavailable and stomach-friendly forms available. No laxative effect. No GI discomfort. Just a high-absorption formula that gets magnesium where it needs to go. Three capsules daily, and most people notice the difference within days.
What This Supports
Sleep Quality
Magnesium plays a key role in regulating the nervous system for sleep. Glycinate form — paired with calming glycine — supports faster sleep onset and better sleep duration.
Stress & Calm
Magnesium helps regulate cortisol and supports GABA activity — the neurotransmitter associated with calm. Effective for reducing the edge of daily mental and physical stress.
Muscle Recovery
Essential for muscle contraction and relaxation. Supports relief from tension and cramping, and aids post-exercise recovery at the cellular level.
Heart & Energy
Supports healthy blood pressure, cardiovascular function, and energy production — magnesium is a cofactor in ATP synthesis, the body's primary energy currency.
Why Glycinate vs. Other Forms
- vs. Magnesium Oxide: Oxide is the most common and least expensive form — but bioavailability is only around 4%. Most of it passes through unabsorbed. Glycinate absorbs far more effectively.
- vs. Magnesium Citrate: Better absorbed than oxide, but known for a laxative effect at higher doses. Not ideal for daily therapeutic use. Glycinate avoids this entirely.
- vs. Magnesium Malate: Good for energy and muscle pain, but less research on sleep and calm. Glycinate's pairing with glycine gives it a distinct advantage for relaxation-focused use.
- The Glycine Advantage: Glycine is an inhibitory amino acid that independently supports sleep quality and calm — making the chelated form a two-for-one for anyone targeting stress and sleep.
- Gentle on Digestion: Unlike oxide and citrate at higher doses, magnesium glycinate does not cause GI upset — making it the most sustainable form for daily long-term use.
How to Use
Suggested Use: Take three (3) vegetable capsules once daily, or as directed by your healthcare professional. For sleep and relaxation support, take 30–60 minutes before bed.
- Three capsules is the full daily serving — do not exceed without physician guidance
- Can be taken with or without food — glycinate form is gentle on an empty stomach
- Evening use is optimal for sleep and relaxation benefits
- Consistent daily use builds and maintains healthy magnesium levels over time
