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.
