How it works

Magnesium is a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions including protein synthesis, muscle contraction, and melatonin production. The glycinate chelate form has higher absorption and less gastrointestinal impact than magnesium oxide.

What to look for

Check the elemental magnesium content, not just the total weight per capsule. Magnesium glycinate or magnesium bisglycinate are the preferred forms. Avoid magnesium oxide (cheap, poorly absorbed). Target 300–400mg elemental per night.
