About this product

Each 2-capsule serving provides 380 mg of elemental magnesium from magnesium bisglycinate, a buffered chelate in which magnesium is bound to the amino acid glycine. The manufacturer formulated it to support mood, sleep and muscle relaxation.

  • Strength that stands out. Two capsules supply 1300 mg magnesium bisglycinate, of which 380 mg is elemental magnesium (101% NRV).
  • Gentle on the gut. The chelated form is designed to make good use of amino acid absorption channels, so less unabsorbed magnesium reaches the large intestine.
  • Everyday essentials. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal muscle function and to normal functioning of the nervous system.
  • Supports normal psychological function. Magnesium is involved in how the nervous system works, which is why it is chosen for calm and restful routines.
  • Simple formulation. Plant-cellulose capsule shell with only rice flour and rice bran as supporting ingredients.
  • Good to know. Adults take 2 capsules daily, best with food, or split between morning and evening. Children aged 12 and over take 1 capsule daily. 180 capsules last 90 days. Seek advice first if pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication. Do not exceed the stated dose. Vegan, with no fillers beyond rice flour and rice bran.

How it works

Role in the body: magnesium helps more than 300 enzyme systems work, including those behind energy production, muscle and nerve function, and building protein and bone.

Why glycinate: here the magnesium is bonded to the amino acid glycine (a chelate). The evidence that this form absorbs better than others is limited. In one small 1994 trial of 12 people with bowel resection, overall absorption was similar to magnesium oxide; the glycinate was absorbed better in those who absorbed oxide poorly, and it was better tolerated.

Sleep: a 2025 trial in 155 adults who reported poor sleep found a small improvement in self-reported sleep with 250 mg of magnesium bisglycinate daily for 4 weeks, which the authors describe as a modest benefit. This product has not been tested for sleep, and we make no sleep claim for it.

What to expect

Magnesium supports normal body functions when your diet doesn't provide enough. It won't fix tiredness, cramps or poor sleep that have other causes. Results vary from person to person, and no particular outcome or timeline is promised.

Warnings & allergens

From the label

Do not use as a substitute for a varied diet and healthy lifestyle. Seek professional medical advice before taking if pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

Safety notes

Kidney disease: the risk of magnesium building up is higher if your kidneys don't work normally. Speak to your doctor first.

Medicines: magnesium can interact with osteoporosis medicines called bisphosphonates (e.g. alendronate), some antibiotics (tetracyclines, quinolones), diuretics and long-term stomach-acid medicines (proton pump inhibitors). Some need to be taken several hours apart from magnesium; ask our pharmacist how to time them.

Too much magnesium: large amounts from supplements can cause diarrhoea, nausea and stomach cramps. Count magnesium from other products too, such as antacids, laxatives and multivitamins.

Upper limit: the adult serving (380 mg) is above the US upper limit for magnesium from supplements (350 mg a day for adults), which is set mainly to avoid diarrhoea. If you get loose stools or are unsure, speak to our pharmacist.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical supervision, speak to a healthcare professional before use. Keep out of reach of children.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

FAQs

Is 380 mg the amount of magnesium I actually get?

Yes. 380 mg is the elemental magnesium in 2 capsules. The 1,300 mg figure is the weight of the whole magnesium bisglycinate compound, including the glycine.

How is glycinate different from magnesium oxide or citrate?

In glycinate, magnesium is bound to the amino acid glycine. Small studies suggest it is well tolerated, but there is no strong evidence that it absorbs much better than other forms in healthy people.

When should I take it?

Igennus advises 2 capsules a day for adults, best with food. You can take 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening.

Can I take it with my medicines?

Some medicines, including certain antibiotics and osteoporosis medicines, need to be taken hours apart from magnesium. Ask our pharmacist before you start.

Can my teenager take it?

Igennus's directions allow 1 capsule a day for children aged 12 and over.

How long does one pot last?

90 days at the adult serving of 2 capsules a day.
