Chelated Magnesium

Thorne Magnesium Glycinate

One capsule provides 120 mg of elemental magnesium bound to glycine. Glycinate is a true chelate, meaning the glycine completely envelopes the magnesium, and that structure is why this form has a decreased laxative effect compared with other magnesium formulations. It is the form to reach for when the reason you want magnesium is sleep or muscle relaxation rather than regularity.*

Glycine does its own work here. It is a calming neurotransmitter, which is why the glycinate form is the one Thorne points at pre-bedtime supplementation.* Dosing runs from one to four capsules daily, so the 90-capsule and 180-capsule bottles are the same formula at different durations.

The Form

The Glycine Is Not Just A Carrier

Magnesium forms differ in how well they are tolerated and in what the attached molecule contributes. In glycinate, both halves matter.

🔗
A True Chelate
In glycinate, the glycine completely envelopes the magnesium rather than loosely pairing with it. That is what makes it a true chelate, and it is the reason this form carries a decreased laxative effect compared with other magnesium formulations, which is the usual limiting factor on how much magnesium anyone can actually take.

🌙
Glycine Is A Calming Neurotransmitter
The molecule bound to the magnesium here is glycine, which acts as a calming neurotransmitter in its own right. That is the specific reason the glycinate form is a good choice before bed, and why the same 120 mg of magnesium behaves differently in this form than it would as citrate or oxide.*

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

1 capsule, one to four times daily, or as recommended by your health-care practitioner. Each capsule is 120 mg of elemental magnesium, so the range is 120 to 480 mg per day depending on where you land.
Yes, they are the same compound. Because it has two glycine molecules attached, "bisglycinate" is the more accurate name, since bis means two. Both names refer to the same thing, so if you are comparing this against a product labeled bisglycinate, you are comparing the same form of magnesium.
Only the count. Same formula, same 120 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule. The 90-capsule bottle is SKU M284 and the 180-capsule bottle is SKU M285.
Two reasons. It is a true chelate. The glycine completely envelopes the magnesium, which gives it a decreased laxative effect compared with other magnesium formulations. And glycine is itself a calming neurotransmitter, which is why this form is chosen for pre-bedtime use.* If you want magnesium for digestive regularity instead, citrate is the form for that.
The laxative effect is reduced in this form, not eliminated. Thorne's label states that gas, bloating, or diarrhea may occur in some individuals taking magnesium supplements. The amount at which it happens varies by person, and it resolves when the amount is reduced, which is part of why the dosing range is one to four capsules rather than a fixed number.
Yes to all three. The capsule is hypromellose derived from cellulose, with medium chain triglyceride oil and silicon dioxide as the only other ingredients.
This product is contraindicated in anyone with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. If pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product. Thorne reports no known adverse interactions or contraindications as of the label's publication date.
