Magnesium Glycinate

Common Name Magnesium Glycinate
Nature Chelated mineral–amino acid complex
Scientific Name Magnesium bisglycinate (magnesium bound to two glycine molecules)
Source Magnesium combined with glycine (a naturally occurring amino acid)
Part Used Mineral compound
  • Benefits

    • Supports Relaxation & Sleep: Glycine promotes a calming effect on the nervous system, helping reduce stress and improve sleep quality. (1)
    • High Absorption & Bioavailability: Magnesium Glycinate is a chelated form, allowing superior absorption and utilization in the body. (2)
    • Muscle Function & Recovery: Supports normal muscle contraction and relaxation, helping reduce cramps and tension. (3)
    • Nervous System Support: Helps maintain healthy nerve signaling and supports a balanced stress response. (4)
  • Magnesium Glycinate (Magnesium + Glycine Complex)

    Magnesium Glycinate is a highly absorbable form of magnesium in which the mineral is chelated with two glycine molecules. This structure enhances stability and improves bioavailability, allowing efficient delivery of magnesium to the body.

    Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, including those related to muscle function, nerve transmission, and energy production. Glycine, an amino acid with calming properties, supports relaxation and helps regulate neurotransmitter activity. Due to its synergistic effects, Magnesium Bisglycinate is widely used to support relaxation, sleep quality, muscle health, and overall nervous system function. (5)

Scientific Research and Studies

research and science

Sleep and Relaxation Support

Study Design: Studies have examined the role of magnesium and glycine in sleep and stress regulation.

Findings: Magnesium supports relaxation, while glycine contributes to improved sleep quality and calming effects on the brain. (1)
