Magnesium Glycinate | Highly Absorbable Form

Support your body’s most fundamental functions with a smarter, gentler form of an essential mineral. NOW® Magnesium Glycinate features magnesium that has been chelated with the amino acid glycine. This advanced form is designed for high absorption and bioavailability, making it an ideal choice for supporting muscle, nerve, and heart health without the digestive upset common with other forms of magnesium.*

The Glycinate Advantage: High Absorption, Gentle on the Stomach

Magnesium is vital, but not all forms are easily used by the body. Magnesium Glycinate is a chelated mineral, which means the magnesium is bonded to glycine, a calming amino acid. This bond allows the mineral to be carried into the cells more efficiently and makes it very gentle on the digestive system, minimizing the laxative effect that can occur with other forms like magnesium oxide or citrate.

Essential Support for a Calm & Healthy Body*

Magnesium is a critical cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, supporting whole-body wellness.

• Muscle & Nerve Function: Supports muscle relaxation and healthy nerve impulse transmission, which can help with occasional muscle tension and promote a state of calm.*
• Heart Health: Essential for maintaining a steady heart rhythm and supporting overall cardiovascular function.*
• Energy & Metabolism: Plays a key role in the production of ATP (cellular energy) and the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.*
• Bone Mineralization: Works alongside calcium and vitamin D to support the maintenance of strong, healthy bones.*

How to Use for Daily Support

For adults, take two (2) tablets one to two times daily with food. Taking with a meal can further support digestive comfort and absorption.

Important Safety Information

Consult your physician before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication, or have a medical condition (especially kidney conditions). Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What does “chelated” mean and why is it better?

“Chelated” means the magnesium mineral has been chemically bonded to an amino acid—in this case, glycine. This process creates a molecule that is more easily recognized and absorbed by the body and is much gentler on the digestive tract.

How is this different from magnesium citrate or oxide?

Magnesium citrate and oxide are more likely to have a laxative effect because they are not as well absorbed. Magnesium Glycinate is specifically chosen for its high absorption and gentleness, making it ideal for those who want to get the benefits of magnesium for muscles and nerves without the digestive side effects.

Can I take this to help me sleep?

Magnesium Glycinate supports muscle relaxation and a calm nervous system, which are key components of a restful night. Many people take it in the evening to help them unwind before bed.
