Magnesium Glycinate 90 Capsules

The form in almost every multivitamin is magnesium oxide - bioavailability around 4% in human studies. The label says 400mg, your body absorbs roughly 16mg. Magnesium glycinate sits in the 24-26% absorption range - roughly 6x the bioavailability. If your multi is already covering you on the rest of the micronutrients, this slots in alongside it. Don’t double up on iron or zinc, but magnesium is fine.

Magnesium bisglycinate (magnesium bound to two glycine molecules), inside a vegetable-cellulose capsule shell. Zero fillers we can hide behind a ‘blend’ label. Zero proprietary mixes. We list the elemental magnesium per capsule on the label so you know exactly what your body sees - not the gross compound weight that some brands use to make the number look bigger.

Two things. First, form: cheap supermarket magnesium is usually oxide or carbonate - both poorly absorbed (around 4% and 30% respectively, but the carbonate one tends to be a laxative). Glycinate is the form sleep researchers actually use in clinical trials. Second, dose honesty: a lot of cheap mag is sold by total compound weight, not elemental dose. We list elemental on the label.

Yes. The magnesium glycinate compound is mineral + plant-derived amino acid. The capsule shell is vegetable cellulose (HPMC), not gelatin. Zero animal-derived ingredients.

The percentage of what you swallow that makes it into circulation in your bloodstream. The label tells you how much mineral is in the capsule. Bioavailability tells you how much of it your body can actually use. With magnesium oxide, you swallow 400mg and your bloodstream sees roughly 4% of it. With glycinate, you swallow the same 400mg equivalent and your bloodstream sees closer to a quarter of it. That difference is the entire reason this product exists.

Citrate is magnesium bound to citric acid - bioavailability around 16-25%, decent. The catch is that at any therapeutic dose, citrate pulls water into your bowel. It’s literally used in clinical practice as a laxative for colonoscopy prep. Fine in small amounts, problematic at the dose you’d actually need for sleep or recovery support. Glycinate uses an amino acid carrier instead - same-or-better bioavailability, no laxative effect at the dose on the label.

Magnesium isn’t a sedative - it doesn’t hit in 20 minutes. Most people running consistently below the daily intake recommendation notice changes within 1-2 weeks of taking it nightly. Sleep latency usually moves first (you stop lying awake mentally rehearsing tomorrow). Muscle cramping and eye twitching tend to settle by week two or three. If you were already fully replete from diet, you may not notice anything dramatic - that’s a good sign, not a bad one.

No. Magnesium glycinate isn’t a sedative. It restores a mineral and amino acid your nervous system uses to regulate itself - it doesn’t actively shut you down. If you split the dose into morning and evening, you won’t feel drowsy at lunch. Most users take it at night purely because that’s when the nervous-system wind-down is most useful, not because the capsule itself causes sleepiness.

Most users take 2 capsules in the evening, 30-60 minutes before bed, with water. That’s the standard nightly dose this pack is built around (90 capsules at 2 a day = 45 days, which is why the base subscription is 45 days). If you train hard in the morning and want to split for cramp prevention, take 1 with breakfast and 1 with dinner. Both protocols work - they just bias toward different outcomes.

Magnesium and zinc are best separated by a few hours - they compete for the same gut transporters at high doses, so taking them together blunts absorption of both. Calcium is fine to stack. Vitamin D actively pairs well (D helps with magnesium retention). If you take iron, separate that by a few hours too. Most people just take zinc at breakfast and magnesium glycinate before bed - clean separation, no overthinking.

Yes - this is exactly what it’s designed for. Magnesium is a daily-need mineral your body uses across hundreds of reactions; running it at adequate intake is the goal, not ‘cycling’ it. There’s no tolerance to build, no diminishing effect, no rebound when you stop. The only thing to watch is keeping the elemental dose in the recommended adult range (around 320-420mg/day total from all sources including food).

60-day money-back guarantee. Take it nightly for two months. If your sleep onset isn’t measurably easier, or your evening tension hasn’t dropped, email sales@nowheydeals.com.au and we’ll refund the order - empty bottle or not. We can do this because most people who try glycinate at this dose stick with it.
