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 a \u003cstrong\u003etrue chelate\u003c\/strong\u003e. The glycine completely envelopes the magnesium, which gives it a decreased laxative effect compared with other magnesium formulations. And glycine is itself a \u003cstrong\u003ecalming neurotransmitter\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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.\n            \u003c\/div\u003e\n          \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n        \u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n          \u003cbutton type=\"button\"\u003e\n            \u003cspan\u003eCan it still cause digestive upset?\u003c\/span\u003e\n            \u003cspan class=\"faq-icon\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\n          \u003c\/button\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"faq-answer\"\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"faq-answer__inner\"\u003e\n              The laxative effect is reduced in this form, not eliminated. Thorne's label states that \u003cstrong\u003egas, bloating, or diarrhea may occur in some individuals taking magnesium supplements.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\n            \u003c\/div\u003e\n          \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n        \u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n          \u003cbutton type=\"button\"\u003e\n            \u003cspan\u003eIs it gluten, dairy, or soy free?\u003c\/span\u003e\n            \u003cspan class=\"faq-icon\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\n          \u003c\/button\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"faq-answer\"\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"faq-answer__inner\"\u003e\n              Yes to all three.
