Magnesium Glycinate Powder - 100g
MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE, ALSO KNOWN AS MAGNESIUM DIGLYCINATE OR MAGNESIUM BISGLYCINATE, IS THE MAGNESIUM SALT OF GLYCINE
Magnesium glycinate pairs elemental magnesium with the amino acid glycine. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, normal nervous system function and normal energy metabolism — it's the same mineral built into every LYTES electrolyte formula, just here as a higher-dose, standalone powder for anyone tracking their magnesium intake separately.
Why the glycinate form?
Not all magnesium supplements are formulated the same way. Magnesium oxide is the cheapest and most common form on the shelf, but it's less easily absorbed, and many people find it harder on the stomach. Magnesium glycinate is chelated — bound to glycine — which is why it's one of the more commonly chosen forms among people who've tried other magnesium supplements first. This tub is pharmaceutical grade, 13% elemental magnesium, with no fillers.
How much elemental magnesium is in a serve?
A 1600mg serve of this magnesium glycinate provides approximately 208mg of elemental magnesium (1600mg × 13%). It's supplied as a raw powder rather than pre-dosed capsules, so you can weigh out exactly the amount you want with a milligram scale — useful if you're following a specific protocol or want more control than a fixed capsule dose allows.
Who chooses this one
A straightforward pick for anyone already tracking magnesium alongside creatine, electrolytes or a fasting protocol, and for anyone who's tried a cheaper magnesium first and found it didn't sit well. It suits keto, fasting and low-carb lifestyles, and — as a raw powder — it's also a cost-effective way to reach a meaningful elemental magnesium dose. Prefer not to weigh out powder? Our Magnesium Bisglycinate capsules use the same chelated form, pre-measured.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between magnesium glycinate and other forms of magnesium?
It comes down to what the magnesium is bound to, which affects elemental content and how readily it's absorbed. We also stock magnesium malate (bound to malic acid) and magnesium taurate (bound to taurine) if you'd like to compare forms — see our full magnesium range.
Is this the same as magnesium bisglycinate or magnesium diglycinate?
Yes — glycinate, bisglycinate and diglycinate all refer to the same magnesium-glycine compound; different suppliers and labels use the terms interchangeably.
Is this suitable for keto, fasting or low-carb diets?
Yes. This product contains no sugar, fillers or additives, and fits comfortably within keto, carnivore, fasting and low-carb approaches.
How do I measure an accurate dose?
Standard kitchen measuring scoops aren't accurate enough for milligram-level dosing. We recommend a milligram scale to measure your serve precisely, and always follow the directions on the label.
Can I take this every day?
Follow the directions on the label, and speak with your doctor or another qualified medical professional before starting any new supplement — especially if you're on medication or managing a health condition.

DIRECTIONS
As a dietary supplement take 1600mg once or twice per day or as directed by your medical professional. Measuring scoops are not an accurate form of measurement. A milligram scale is needed to accurately measure dosages.
