Magnesium Glycinate

Because it is honest. Pure magnesium glycinate is only 13% magnesium by weight. That is basic chemistry. Brands that show 300mg or more of magnesium from glycinate are almost always mixing in cheap magnesium oxide and not telling you. We would rather give you a smaller dose your body can use than a bigger one it cannot.

Magnesium glycinate is the form of magnesium most often linked to better sleep, lower stress, muscle recovery, and relaxation. It is also gentle on the stomach. That means it does not cause the loose stools that magnesium oxide and citrate often cause.

Most people take it about an hour before bed. You can take it with or without food. If you forget, just take it whenever you remember that day. Consistency matters more than timing.

Yes. Every single batch. Before any bottle ships, a sample goes to an ISO 17025 accredited lab. They test for magnesium content, ingredient identity, heavy metals, and microbes. If the results do not match the label, the batch does not ship. All certificates of analysis are public at testing.nfsupplements.co.uk so you can check your own bottle's batch number.

"Buffered" is the polite industry word for "we mixed cheap magnesium oxide into the glycinate." It lets brands print a bigger number on the front of the bottle without paying for more glycinate. If you see the word "buffered" on a magnesium bottle, that is your warning sign. Our product is not buffered. It is pure glycinate, full stop.

Because oxide is the cheapest form of magnesium money can buy. It is also 63% magnesium by weight, which is much higher than glycinate at 13%. So one gram of oxide lets a brand claim five times more magnesium than one gram of glycinate. The catch is that your body only absorbs about 4% of oxide. They get a bigger number on the bottle. You get less actual magnesium.

The UK NHS suggests around 300mg per day for men and 270mg for women. Most adults get this from food, especially leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Magnesium glycinate supplements are for people who want extra support for sleep, stress, or recovery on top of what they eat.

It is much less likely than other forms. Magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate are well known for causing loose stools because your body cannot absorb them properly. Glycinate is gentle because it is bound to the amino acid glycine, which helps it pass through your gut without irritation.

Magnesium is generally safe with most things. But if you take prescription medicine, especially blood pressure medicine, antibiotics, or diuretics, talk to your doctor first. Magnesium can affect how your body uses some drugs.
