What Does Magnesium Glycinate Do?
Provides a well-absorbed magnesium chelate suitable for replenishing low dietary intake and reducing mild muscle cramps, though general sleep and stress benefits remain modest in well-nourished adults.
How much elemental magnesium does each tablet actually deliver?
Should I take this in the morning or before bedtime?

Dosage & Bioavailability
How the active doses and forms in Magnesium Glycinate compare to the research.
•Magnesium glycinate — 1.06 g per tablet, 1-2 tablets a day: 150-300 mg a day; within the 100-400 mg/day typically used in studies. That is about 0.15 g elemental from 1.06 g glycinate. It is within the 350 mg/day US upper limit (IOM (NIH ODS)) but above the 250 mg/day EU limit for supplemental magnesium (SCF 2001). This range is provisional until reviewed.
•Magnesium glycinate — magnesium glycinate is one of the better-absorbed, well-studied forms of magnesium.
