CanPrev Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 140 Extra Gentle

CanPrev Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 140 Extra Gentle Details

CanPrev Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 140 Extra Gentle delivers 140 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule as fully reacted magnesium bisglycinate — magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine for excellent absorption and exceptional digestive gentleness. The "Extra Gentle" name reflects exactly that: at 140 mg per capsule, it's a lower, gentler dose that's especially easy on sensitive stomachs, with no laxative effect. Bisglycinate is widely considered the best all-purpose magnesium form for sleep, stress, muscle, and nervous system support. CanPrev is a practitioner-tier Canadian brand. Made in Canada. Vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO.

Quick Facts

Who CanPrev Mag Bis-Glycinate Extra Gentle Is For

• Adults with sensitive stomachs who want a magnesium that's especially easy on digestion
• People who want a lower, gentler dose per capsule for flexible dosing
• Adults using magnesium for sleep, stress, muscle relaxation, and nervous system support
• Anyone who's experienced loose stools from other magnesium forms and wants no laxative effect
• People wanting the well-absorbed bisglycinate form from a practitioner-tier brand
• Adults wanting a Canadian-made, fully reacted bisglycinate at a fair price

Who this product is NOT for: If you want a higher dose per capsule (200 mg), see CanPrev Magnesium Bisglycinate 200 — fewer capsules for the same total. If you want magnesium specifically for brain and cognitive support, magnesium L-threonate is the targeted form — see CanPrev Magnesium Threonate. If you actually want magnesium for constipation relief, magnesium citrate or oxide is more suitable — bisglycinate is specifically designed NOT to have that effect. If you take medications, especially antibiotics or blood pressure medications, space magnesium by 2 hours and consult your practitioner. If you have kidney disease, talk to your practitioner before taking magnesium.

Vitamart's Take

This is CanPrev's "Extra Gentle" magnesium, and the name tells you exactly what makes it useful: at 140 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule as fully reacted bisglycinate, it's a lower, gentler dose that's especially kind to sensitive stomachs, with no laxative effect at all. Bisglycinate — magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine — is widely considered the best all-purpose magnesium form: well-absorbed, gentle, and versatile for sleep, stress, muscle relaxation, and nervous system support. The lower per-capsule dose is the distinguishing feature; it's ideal if you have a sensitive stomach or want to fine-tune your dose. CanPrev is a practitioner-tier Canadian brand, and "fully reacted" means the magnesium is properly bound to glycine (not just mixed), which matters for absorption and gentleness. The sensible choice for adults wanting a gentle, well-absorbed daily magnesium — especially those with sensitive digestion. If you'd rather take fewer capsules at a higher dose, CanPrev Bisglycinate 200 delivers 200 mg per capsule. For brain-specific magnesium, L-threonate is the form.

How CanPrev Mag Bis-Glycinate Extra Gentle Compares

Extra Gentle (140mg) vs CanPrev Bisglycinate 200

Extra Gentle / 140mg (this product): Lower dose per capsule, extra gentle on sensitive stomachs, flexible dosing.
CanPrev Bisglycinate 200: Higher 200 mg dose per capsule — fewer capsules for the same total magnesium. A fit if you tolerate magnesium well and want fewer capsules.

Bisglycinate vs Magnesium Citrate

Bisglycinate (this product): Gentle, no laxative effect, ideal for daily sleep/stress/muscle support.
Magnesium Citrate: Well-absorbed but has a laxative effect at higher doses. A fit if you want some regularity support or prefer a drink format like Natural Calm.

Bisglycinate vs Magnesium L-Threonate

Bisglycinate (this product): The all-purpose form for sleep, stress, muscle, nervous system.
Magnesium L-Threonate: The brain-targeted form that crosses the blood-brain barrier for cognition. A fit if your goal is specifically memory and focus.

The 7 Forms of Magnesium

Magnesium is the same mineral, but the form it's paired with changes what it does:

• Glycinate / Bisglycinate (this product): Gentle, well-absorbed, no laxative effect. The daily all-purpose form for sleep, stress, muscle. "Extra Gentle" is a lower-dose version for sensitive stomachs.
• Citrate: Well-absorbed, gentle laxative effect at higher doses. Popular as a drink (e.g. Natural Calm) and for mild regularity.
• L-Threonate: The only form proven to cross the blood-brain barrier. Specifically for cognition, memory, focus.
• Malate: Bonded with malic acid. Supports cellular energy. Popular for daytime energy.
• Taurate: Bonded with taurine. Cardiovascular support, calming.
• Citrate/Malate blends: Combination forms for broader coverage.
• Oxide: Poorly absorbed for body magnesium but ideal for digestive cleansing and constipation relief.

Bisglycinate is the gentle all-rounder, and "Extra Gentle" takes that one step further with a lower dose for sensitive stomachs.

How To Use

Adults: Take 1-2 capsules daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. The 140 mg per capsule lets you fine-tune your dose easily. Many adults take magnesium in the evening, as it supports relaxation and sleep, though it can be taken any time. Bisglycinate is gentle enough to take with or without food and won't loosen the bowels.

Space magnesium by 2 hours from antibiotics and certain medications. Talk to a healthcare practitioner before use if you take blood pressure medications, have kidney disease, or take medications that interact with magnesium.
