Quick Facts

Who Pure Encapsulations Magnesium Glycinate Is For

• Adults wanting a gentle, well-absorbed magnesium for daily use without digestive upset
• People using magnesium for sleep, stress, or muscle relaxation
• Adults with sensitivities who need a hypoallergenic formula free from common allergens and additives
• Anyone whose practitioner specifically recommended Pure Encapsulations or practitioner-grade magnesium glycinate
• People who react poorly to magnesium oxide or citrate (loose stools) and want a gentler form
• Adults who appreciate a clean, minimal-ingredient formula from a trusted US practitioner brand

Who this product is NOT for: If you want magnesium specifically for brain and cognitive support, magnesium L-threonate is the targeted form — see CanPrev Magnesium Threonate. If you want magnesium for constipation relief, magnesium oxide or citrate work better — glycinate is gentle and won't have the laxative effect. If you want a more accessibly priced magnesium glycinate, see Vitacheck Magnesium Bisglycinate, one of our Vitamart Exclusive brands. If you take medications, especially antibiotics or blood pressure medications, space magnesium by 2 hours and consult your practitioner.

The 7 Forms of Magnesium

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

• Glycinate / Bisglycinate (this product): Gentle, well-absorbed, the daily all-purpose form. Sleep, stress, muscle. Doesn't cause loose stools.
• L-Threonate: The only form proven to cross the blood-brain barrier. Specifically for cognition, memory, focus.
• Citrate: Good general absorption, gentle laxative effect at higher doses. Energy production.
• Malate: Bonded with malic acid. Supports cellular energy. Popular for daytime energy and fibromyalgia support.
• 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 (used in milk of magnesia and Renew Life CleanseMORE).

For daily sleep, stress, and muscle support, glycinate is the gentle all-purpose workhorse. For cognition, threonate. For constipation, oxide.

How To Use

Adults: Take 1-2 capsules daily, ideally in the evening for sleep and relaxation support, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Magnesium glycinate is gentle enough to take any time of day. Take with or without food.

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