Questions, answered

Is magnesium glycinate the same as magnesium bisglycinate?

Yes. Both names describe the same compound: magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. Bisglycinate refers to the two glycine molecules attached to each magnesium. Brands use either name on the label, so both are grouped together in this collection.

How do I compare magnesium glycinate products?

Check the elemental magnesium per serve on the label rather than the total compound weight, as that is the figure that varies most between products. Then compare serves per pack, price per serve and any added flavours or sweeteners. Each product page shows the price per serve to make this easier.

Should I choose magnesium glycinate powder, capsules or drink sticks?

Powder mixes into water or a smoothie, lets you adjust the amount and usually works out cheapest per serve. Capsules and tablets have no taste and need no mixing. Drink sticks are flavoured single serves that suit travel, work and the gym bag.

When should I take magnesium glycinate?

Follow the directions on the product label, as serve sizes and timing vary between brands. Our blog guide on the time of day to take magnesium glycinate covers the common routines in more detail.
