Both magnesium and glycine work synergystically to help to calm the nervous system and promote restful sleep.
Supports mental wellbeing
Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function and wellbeing.
Highly bio-effective form
Chelated with glycine for superior absorption and efficacy.
Gentle on digestion
Well tolerated, gentle form with minimal risk of digestive discomfort.
Magnesium bisglycinate is a gentle, well-tolerated form of magnesium that’s highly bio-effective and ideal for supporting relaxation, restorative sleep and overall nervous system health. In this advanced chelated form, magnesium is bound to glycine, a calming amino acid, which not only improves absorption but also works synergistically with magnesium to promote a sense of calm and restful sleep.
Chelation creates a mineral complex that is more efficiently absorbed than other forms. This makes magnesium bisglycinate a gentle, well-tolerated form of magnesium and an excellent option for those who are sensitive to other forms, offering effective support with minimal risk of digestive discomfort.

FAQ’s
What are the benefits of magnesium bisglycinate?
Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function, muscle function and supports the healthy functioning of the nervous system. In this chelated form, magnesium is bound to glycine - a calming amino acid that not only enhances absorption but also works in harmony with magnesium to promote relaxation and restful sleep. This gentle, highly bioavailable and well-tolerated form is ideal for those who are sensitive to other types of magnesium, offering effective support with minimal risk of digestive discomfort.
Chelated magnesium bisglycinate - what is chelation?
Chelation is a chemical process in which minerals like magnesium bind to molecules such as amino acids (e.g., glycine) or organic acids to form a stable complex. Chelation creates a mineral complex that is more efficiently absorbed than other forms. As a result, chelated minerals are often more bioavailable and effective.
Magnesium bisglycinate is a chelated form of magnesium, in which each magnesium ion is bound to two glycine molecules. This structure not only enhances absorption but also makes it a gentle form of magnesium ideal for individuals who may not tolerate other forms of magnesium well.
Am I getting enough magnesium?
Despite its importance, many people aren’t getting enough magnesium. Poor diet, soil depletion, food processing and cooking techniques have significantly reduced magnesium levels in our diets. Additionally, stress and busy lifestyles further increase our need for this essential mineral, by using more of it up. Often there may not be enough magnesium in a multivitamin, so adding a magnesium product to your other daily supplements can ensure you get enough of this essential nutrient.
How do magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium glycinate compare?
Magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium glycinate refer to the same compound, though the terms are often used interchangeably. "Bisglycinate" is the more precise chemical name, indicating that each magnesium ion is chelated with two glycine molecules—with "bis" meaning "two." While "magnesium glycinate" is more commonly used in everyday language and product labelling, "magnesium bisglycinate" more accurately reflects its molecular structure.
