What is magnesium glycinate?
Magnesium glycinate (also called magnesium bisglycinate) is magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. Because the magnesium is attached to an amino acid, it is known as a chelated form.
It is one of the most popular forms of magnesium in the UK because it is generally considered gentle on the stomach, whereas some other forms, such as magnesium citrate, are better known for a laxative effect at higher amounts. We have paired it with vitamin C so you get two everyday nutrients in one capsule.
What does magnesium glycinate with vitamin C do?
Magnesium and vitamin C both contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. These are the UK-authorised health claims for each nutrient:
Magnesium contributes to
- Normal muscle function
- Normal functioning of the nervous system
- Normal psychological function
- Normal energy-yielding metabolism
- Electrolyte balance
- The maintenance of normal bones and teeth

Vitamin C contributes to
- The normal function of the immune system
- Normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin
- Normal energy-yielding metabolism
- The protection of cells from oxidative stress
- Increased iron absorption

How do I take it?
Take the recommended daily serving shown on the label with water, ideally with food. Many people take magnesium in the evening as part of their wind-down routine, but you can take it at any time of day that suits you.
Magnesium glycinate vs citrate vs oxide: which is best?
Choose glycinate if you want a gentle, everyday form; citrate is often chosen for digestion; oxide is the cheapest but the least well absorbed.

Magnesium Glycinate FAQs
What is magnesium glycinate good for?
Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, the normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function, electrolyte balance and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Glycinate is a chelated form that is generally considered gentle on the stomach.
Why is vitamin C added?
Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, normal collagen formation and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, so you get two everyday nutrients in one capsule.
When is the best time to take magnesium glycinate?
Any time that suits your routine. Many people take it in the evening with food. Follow the daily serving on the label.
Does magnesium glycinate help with sleep?
There is no authorised UK health claim for magnesium and sleep, so we do not make one. Magnesium is authorised to say it contributes to normal psychological function, the normal functioning of the nervous system and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Is magnesium glycinate better than magnesium citrate?
Neither is better for everyone. Glycinate is generally gentler on the stomach and suits everyday use, while citrate is better known for a laxative effect and is often chosen for digestion.
Are these capsules vegetarian?
Yes. They come in vegetarian capsules.
Can I take magnesium glycinate with Shilajit?
