What is it?
Magnesium bisglycinate is a chelated form of magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. This bond dramatically improves absorption compared to common forms like magnesium oxide, and the glycine component has its own calming and sleep-supporting properties. It is one of the most bioavailable magnesium forms available and is exceptionally well tolerated.
Why use it?
Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including muscle contraction, energy production, and protein synthesis. Athletes lose magnesium through sweat and typically require more than sedentary individuals. Deficiency manifests as muscle cramps, poor sleep quality, increased fatigue, and impaired recovery. The bisglycinate form is ideal for evening supplementation due to its relaxing properties.
How it works
The chelated bond between magnesium and glycine protects the mineral through the digestive tract, preventing the stomach upset and laxative effects associated with other forms. Once absorbed, magnesium regulates neuromuscular signals and muscle contractions, supports GABA receptor activity (the calming neurotransmitter), and is a cofactor for ATP production. The glycine component independently promotes relaxation and supports sleep quality.
How to use
Add ~200mg (0.2g) to your shake, smoothie, or beverage of choice. Mix well.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I take magnesium?

The best time is 30–60 minutes before bed. The calming effect of magnesium bisglycinate supports sleep onset and quality. It can also be taken with your evening meal.

Why bisglycinate over other forms?

Magnesium bisglycinate has significantly higher bioavailability than oxide or citrate forms, and does not cause the digestive discomfort or laxative effect that cheaper forms are known for. The attached glycine molecule adds its own sleep and relaxation benefits.

How much magnesium do I need?

The recommended daily intake is 300mg for women and 400mg for men. Athletes may benefit from up to 400–600mg daily. Our serving provides an appropriate dose designed to be mixed into your evening shake.
