Magnesium Glycinate

Magnesium Glycinate is the form of magnesium bound to glycine — chosen for high bioavailability and low gastrointestinal disruption. Magnesium is one of the most extensively documented essential minerals in human nutrition, with multiple authorised health claims on the GB Nutrition and Health Claims Register. Two capsules deliver a clinically meaningful dose. From £6.99 per month — among the most affordable high-grade magnesium glycinate in the UK, designed by a practising NHS GP.

Magnesium Glycinate — The Most Bioavailable Form, Doctor-Designed

Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the human body. Public Health England's National Diet and Nutrition Survey data shows a substantial proportion of UK adults consume less magnesium than the Reference Nutrient Intake — particularly women and older adults.

The form of magnesium matters. Magnesium oxide — found in most cheap magnesium supplements — has poor bioavailability. Magnesium Glycinate bonds the mineral to glycine, an amino acid, producing a form with higher bioavailability and gentler digestive tolerance.

What Magnesium Contributes — Authorised UK Health Claims

Magnesium has the following authorised health claims on the GB Nutrition and Health Claims Register:

• Magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function.
• Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function.
• Magnesium contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
• Magnesium contributes to normal protein synthesis.
• Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance.
• Magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.
• Magnesium has a role in the process of cell division.

Each of these claims is conditional on the supplement providing at least 15% of the Nutrient Reference Value per daily portion. Our two-capsule dose comfortably meets that threshold.

Why Glycinate Specifically

The amino acid glycine is bound to the magnesium ion in this formulation. Glycinate forms of magnesium are generally well-tolerated and absorbed; mechanism aside, this is the form most clinicians recommend when patients have struggled with magnesium oxide or citrate.

Suggested Use

2 capsules, 30–60 minutes before bed. Magnesium's authorised contributions to nervous system, psychological function and tiredness reduction are best realised through consistent daily intake rather than occasional use. Pair with NMN Pure or NMN Plus in the morning for our standard daily stack.

Year-Round Value

Magnesium's contributions are cumulative — consistent daily intake is what matters. Our Magnesium 12 Month Supply at £49.99 is the most cost-effective way to maintain daily supplementation without interruption.
