Magnesium Glycinate
Magnesium Glycinate Capsules deliver one of the most bioavailable forms of magnesium, helping your body maintain optimal levels of this essential mineral. Magnesium is vital for hundreds of biochemical reactions, including those that support nerve function, muscle health, and energy production. This gentle, well-tolerated form is ideal for individuals seeking daily support for relaxation.
Whether you’re winding down after a long day or recovering from physical activity, magnesium glycinate helps support muscle relaxation and nervous system. It also plays a role in healthy sleep patterns, making it a great addition to your nighttime wellness routine.
Each capsule provides 275 mg of elemental magnesium sourced from 2,500 mg of magnesium glycinate for optimal absorption and effectiveness. With no artificial additives and a clean, simple formula, Magnesium Glycinate Capsules are perfect for supporting overall well-being, day and night.*

Quick Tips
- Aim for a mix of these foods daily for better absorption (only about 30–40% of dietary magnesium is typically absorbed).
- Pairing with vitamin D-rich foods or avoiding excessive calcium/phytates at the same meal may help.
Magnesium is a critical micro nutrient involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, including DNA repair, energy metabolism, vitamin D activation, and nervous system function. Many people (around 40-50% in the U.S.) fall short of optimal intake from diet alone, which can contribute to issues like increased cancer risk, DNA damage, and higher all cause mortality when chronically low.
Not all magnesium supplements are equal in terms of absorption. We strongly prefer organic magnesium salts over inorganic forms (like magnesium oxide or sulfate), as the organic forms raise plasma magnesium levels more effectively. These include:
- Magnesium glycinate (also called bisglycinate)
- Magnesium citrate
- Magnesium malate
- Magnesium taurate
Magnesium glycinate stands out as one of the most bioavailable and gentle options on the stomach, with minimal laxative effects compared to citrate. It comes with the added benefit of delivering glycine, an inhibitory neurotransmitter that may support calming effects.
We recommend taking this supplement with breakfast in addition to other forms of magnesium such as a flavored magnesium powder with 12oz of water before bed. this will significantly boost your magnesium intake, getting you much closer to the recommended daily dose and give you a calming effect before bedtime. Along with a proper diet of green veggies, you should be in the proper range of daily magnesium intake. Always consult with and stay up to date with your doctor to ensure proper blood levels.
Studies:
Here are two quality studies that specifically examine magnesium bisglycinate (also called magnesium glycinate) supplementation and its potential benefits. These are relevant to many Americans, as dietary surveys (including NHANES data) show that a large portion of the U.S. population (often around 48% or more) consumes less magnesium than recommended, which may contribute to issues like poor sleep, stress, or related symptoms.
1. Magnesium Bisglycinate Supplementation for Insomnia Symptoms (2025 Randomized Controlled Trial)
- Study: Schuster J, et al. "Magnesium Bisglycinate Supplementation in Healthy Adults Reporting Poor Sleep: A Randomized, Placebo Controlled Trial." Published in Nature and Science of Sleep (2025). This was a double blind, placebo controlled trial involving 155 adults (ages 18–65) with self-reported poor sleep quality.
- Intervention: Participants received magnesium bisglycinate providing 250 mg elemental magnesium daily (plus glycine) for 4 weeks, compared to placebo.
- Key Findings: The magnesium bisglycinate group showed a statistically significantly greater reduction in Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) scores compared to placebo (–3.9 vs. –2.3 points; p = 0.049). The effect size was small (Cohen’s d = 0.2), but within the magnesium group, ISI scores dropped by 28%. Benefits appeared more pronounced in those with lower baseline dietary magnesium intake.
- Relevance to Americans: Poor sleep and insomnia symptoms are common in the U.S., often linked to suboptimal magnesium status. This well absorbed form (glycinate) modestly improved self reported insomnia without notable side effects, supporting its use as a non pharmacological option for mild sleep issues. No significant changes were seen in other psychological measures.

2. Systematic Review on Supplemental Magnesium for Anxiety and Insomnia (2024 Review with Glycinate References)
- Study: Rawji A, et al. "Examining the Effects of Supplemental Magnesium on Self Reported Anxiety and Sleep Quality: A Systematic Review." Published in Cureus (2024). This review analyzed multiple clinical studies on magnesium supplementation, including forms like magnesium glycinate and bisglycinate.
- Key Findings: Supplemental magnesium (including glycinate) showed likely benefits for mild anxiety and insomnia, particularly in individuals with low magnesium status at baseline. Specific included studies using glycinate or mixed forms reported reductions in anxiety scores (e.g., one pediatric study showed significant anxiety decreases over 6 months; an adult anxiety trial with bisglycinate component showed meaningful HAM-A score improvements). The review highlights better tolerability and absorption of chelated forms like glycinate compared to others (e.g., oxide).
- Relevance to Americans: Anxiety and sleep disturbances affect millions in the U.S., and magnesium deficiency or inadequacy is widespread due to diet patterns. The review concludes that magnesium supplementation is "likely useful" for these issues in at risk groups, with glycinate noted for its calming effects and fewer gastrointestinal side effects.
