Magnesium glycinate capsules provide magnesium in the highly bioavailable bisglycinate chelate form. The organic magnesium glycinate is very well tolerated and at the recommended dosage hardly causes any gastrointestinal complaints even in sensitive people.
The binding of magnesium to the amino acid glycine guarantees optimum absorption and effect of magnesium in the body.
Vitality Nutritionals formulations are free from impurities, articial flavourings and artificial sweeteners. Vegan or vegetarian ingredients are used where possible, and every product is non-GMO.
As our body cannot produce magnesium itself, it is crucial that we get our daily magnesium requirement from food or food supplements.
When it comes to your health, quality and safety are of the highest importance. Vitality Nutritionals has rigorous standards in place to ensure they work with only the most reputable suppliers.

Magnesium Glycinate 300 are capsules containing magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine (magnesium bisglycinate, buffered).
This form of binding is considered to be highly bioavailable and is described by many people as well tolerated.
The recommended daily dose is 2 capsules, taken with a glass of water during a meal. This provides 300 mg of magnesium, i.e. 80% of the daily requirement (NRV). This amount should not be exceeded.
Each capsule contains 150 mg of magnesium, which makes it easier to take an individual dose – for example, if someone only wants to take one capsule instead of two.
Ideally with a meal, divided into two portions over the day (e.g., in the morning and in the evening). There is no legally prescribed "best" time – it depends on personal preference and daily routine.
Because the binding to glycine (chelation) facilitates absorption in the intestine without having the osmotic effect that can have a laxative effect with other forms of magnesium in higher quantities. This is why glycinate is well tolerated by many people with sensitive stomachs.
Excessive consumption of magnesium can have a laxative effect. The product is not recommended for children under 4 years of age. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before taking it.
Both provide the same form of magnesium. Capsules are more practical when you are on the go and do not need to be mixed, while the powder allows for more flexible, individual dosing and is suitable for people who do not prefer capsules.
In addition to magnesium bisglycinate, the capsule shell consists of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, supplemented with corn starch, coconut milk powder and bamboo shoot extract (natural silica). According to the manufacturer, the product does not contain any allergens.
Both are chelated, highly bioavailable forms of magnesium, but differ in the binding partner: citrate is bound to citric acid, bisglycinate to the amino acid glycine.
In practice, citrate tends to have a laxative effect in higher quantities, while bisglycinate is perceived as milder by many people with sensitive stomachs.
There is no general "better" – both provide magnesium that is easily absorbed. Citrate is often chosen when cost or a slightly stimulating effect on digestion are important, while glycinate is more likely to be chosen when a sensitive stomach is the main concern. The choice depends on individual tolerance.
It is not possible to name a general "best" product in a reliable way, as this depends on purity, dosage per capsule, additives and personal tolerability.
What you can look for: tested raw material quality, no unnecessary additives and a transparent declaration of the elemental magnesium content (not just the total amount of the compound).
You take it to meet your daily magnesium requirements. According to the EFSA, magnesium itself contributes, among other things, to normal muscle function, to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, to normal energy metabolism and to the reduction of fatigue. Bisglycinate is often preferred because it is well tolerated.
It is one of the highly bioavailable and generally well-tolerated forms, but it is not "the best" across the board – other forms such as citrate or malate are also valid, depending on the application and personal tolerance.
Ideally with a meal, divided into two portions over the course of the day. Some people take a portion in the evening because they find it pleasant – but there is no officially "best" time; it is a matter of personal preference.
I cannot give a specific dosage recommendation for this, as a link between magnesium glycinate and sleep is not a claim approved by the EFSA.
If you want to use it specifically for sleep problems, you should stick to the generally recommended daily dose (see packaging) and, if in doubt, seek medical advice instead of increasing the dose on your own.
