Get Magnesium Glycinate Online

Magnesium Glycinate is used to treat and prevent magnesium deficiency. It may help relieve associated symptoms such as muscle cramps, fatigue, headaches, sleep disturbances, and palpitations caused by low magnesium levels.

Magnesium Glycinate is chelated to the amino acid glycine, which improves intestinal absorption and makes it less likely to cause the laxative effect or stomach upset that can occur with magnesium oxide or magnesium citrate at higher doses.

Dosing depends on the severity of deficiency and individual factors. Common adult doses range from 200 mg to 400 mg of elemental magnesium per day, divided into one or two doses. Your physician will determine the appropriate dose based on your labs and symptoms.

People at higher risk include those taking diuretics or proton pump inhibitors, individuals with type 2 diabetes, gastrointestinal conditions such as Crohn's disease or celiac disease, older adults, and those with high alcohol intake, as all of these can reduce magnesium absorption or increase losses.

Magnesium Glycinate is generally well tolerated. At very high doses, it can cause loose stools, nausea, or abdominal discomfort. Rare but serious side effects from excessive magnesium intake include low blood pressure, slowed heart rate, and lethargy, particularly in people with impaired kidney function.

Magnesium can interact with certain antibiotics (such as tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones), bisphosphonates, and some blood pressure medications. Always inform your physician of all medications and supplements you are taking so they can check for interactions and time your doses appropriately.
