Magnesium bisglycinate is one of the most recommended forms of magnesium because of its good absorption. Here is why.
What is magnesium bisglycinate?
It is magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine (chelated magnesium), which improves intestinal absorption compared with less expensive forms such as magnesium oxide.
Why is it recommended?
- Better absorption than magnesium oxide or carbonate.
- Better digestive tolerance: it has less of a laxative effect than other forms.
- Glycine also adds a mild calming effect that supports rest.
What is magnesium used for?
It contributes to normal muscle and nerve function, helps reduce tiredness, and plays a role in energy metabolism.
How to take it and dosage
Typical doses range from 300 to 400 mg of elemental magnesium per day, split with meals or taken at night if you are looking for rest support.
Contraindications and side effects
It is one of the best-tolerated forms; at very high doses it may cause digestive discomfort. Use caution in severe kidney impairment. Consult a healthcare professional if you take medication.
