Description

The mineral magnesium is crucial for the body to function properly because magnesium is involved in more than 600 of the body's enzymatic reactions.*

According to World Health Organization statistics, as many as 75 percent of U.S. adults do not meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Recommended Daily Intake of 420 mg of magnesium. Magnesium deficiency can manifest in many ways, such as inefficient blood sugar metabolism, muscle cramps or soreness, eyelid twitching, fatigue, and poor sleep.

Benefits of Magnesium

Magnesium is essential for the health of the heart and blood vessels, brain, bones, muscles, and lungs, and to support healthy sugar metabolism*
Promotes bronchial relaxation*
It’s an essential mineral for electrical activity of the heart, which supports normal heart rate and rhythm*
Helps relax smooth and skeletal muscle*
Promotes the dilation of blood vessels (vasodilation), which maintains normal blood pressure and enhances blood flow*
Supports insulin sensitivity*
Is a cofactor for enzymes involved in cellular energy production*
The bisglycinate form of magnesium is a good choice for pre-bedtime supplementation to support restful sleep because the magnesium is bound to glycine, a calming neurotransmitter*

Did you know?

The compound magnesium bisglycinate is also called magnesium glycinate. However, because it has two glycine molecules attached, it is more accurately called "bisglycinate" (bis = two). Bottom line: They're the same thing.

Because athletes need to know their supplements are trustworthy and compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of nearly 300 substances banned by many major athletic organizations.

FAQs

Frequently asked question

Is Magnesium Bisglycinate worth buying for athletic performance and recovery?

Yes, especially if you train regularly. Magnesium is involved in over 600 enzymatic reactions, including muscle function and energy production. Most U.S. adults fall short of the recommended 420 mg daily. Bisglycinate is a highly bioavailable form, meaning your body absorbs it efficiently. Athletes commonly report reduced muscle cramps, faster recovery, and better sleep quality — all critical for consistent performance gains.

How does Magnesium Bisglycinate compare to other forms of magnesium supplements?

Magnesium Bisglycinate is considered one of the most absorbable and gentle forms available. Unlike magnesium oxide, which has low bioavailability and can cause digestive discomfort, bisglycinate is bound to the amino acid glycine, improving absorption and reducing stomach upset. For athletes prioritizing recovery, sleep, and muscle health, bisglycinate is generally preferred over cheaper, less bioavailable forms.

What are the signs that I might be magnesium deficient?

Common signs of magnesium deficiency include muscle cramps or soreness, fatigue, poor sleep, eyelid twitching, and inefficient blood sugar metabolism. Since up to 75% of U.S. adults don't meet daily magnesium requirements, deficiency is more common than most people realize. If you experience any of these symptoms regularly, a magnesium supplement may help support your body's needs.

How much magnesium do I need daily?

The FDA recommends 420 mg of magnesium per day for adults. Most people fall short of this through diet alone, especially those with active lifestyles that deplete minerals through sweat. Magnesium Bisglycinate supplementation can help bridge that nutritional gap. Always check the serving size on your product label and consult a healthcare professional if you're unsure about your personal needs.

Can Magnesium Bisglycinate help with sleep and recovery?

Magnesium plays a key role in regulating the nervous system and supporting muscle relaxation, both of which are essential for quality sleep and post-workout recovery. Many users report noticeable improvements in sleep depth and reduced muscle soreness when supplementing with magnesium bisglycinate. Taking it in the evening is a common strategy for maximizing these benefits.

Is Magnesium Bisglycinate safe to take every day?

For most healthy adults, daily magnesium bisglycinate supplementation is considered safe and well-tolerated. Its glycine-bound form is gentler on the digestive system compared to other magnesium types. However, if you have kidney issues or take prescription medications, consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement. Always follow the recommended serving size listed on the product label.
