Chewable Magnesium Supplements

Why chewable magnesium

Chewable magnesium skips the pills — you chew a tablet or gummy instead of swallowing a capsule, and the flavours make it easy to keep up a daily habit. It's a good fit for kids and for adults who find pills hard to take or just prefer not to.

Chewables vs. gummies

Chewable tablets usually carry a higher dose with fewer added ingredients, while gummies tend to taste better but often contain some sugar and a lower dose of magnesium. Both work — the choice comes down to taste, dose, and whether added sugar matters to you.

Chewable magnesium for kids

Chewables and gummies are a popular way to give magnesium to children who can't take capsules, and you'll find kids' formulas here dosed for smaller bodies — see our magnesium for kids page. Because flavoured gummies can look and taste like candy, keep them well out of reach so children don't help themselves to extra.

Forms in chewables

Chewable magnesium comes in a few forms. Bisglycinate is gentle on the stomach, citrate is well absorbed, and oxide is common in lower-cost options. The label will tell you which form and how much elemental magnesium you're getting per piece.

Chewable magnesium in Canada

Chewable magnesium sold in Canada carries a Natural Product Number (NPN) from Health Canada and ships from our Ontario warehouse to addresses across Canada.

A note on chewable magnesium

Like any magnesium, chewables can loosen the stools at higher doses, so build up gradually. Keep kids' gummies out of reach since they resemble candy, follow the age and dose on the label for children, and if you take medication, check with your pharmacist and space magnesium a few hours from other pills.
