Magnesium Glycinate
Capsules 150mg

Magnesium Glycinate

Magnesium glycinate (as magnesium bisglycinate) contributes to healthy protein synthesis, normal functioning of the nervous system and muscles, and normal mental function. Magnesium is present in a chelate complex bound to the amino acid glycine. In this molecular structure, magnesium cannot form any undesirable compounds with other nutrients, so that each nutrient can have its full effect.

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):

Magnesium has a role in the process of cell division as well as contributing to:

• a reduction of tiredness and fatigue
• electrolyte balance
• normal energy-yielding metabolism
• normal functioning of the nervous system
• normal muscle function
• normal protein synthesis
• normal psychological function
• the maintenance of normal bones
• the maintenance of normal teeth

Recommended Dosage

Take 2 capsules (150mg pure magnesium per capsule) daily with 200ml water.

Note: Spreading the dosage out across the day can improve absorption, since only a limited amount of magnesium can be absorbed at a time. Ideal intake times for magnesium include the morning just after waking, before lunch or after sports, and in the evening before bed. Taking magnesium on an empty stomach or 30 minutes before a meal can improve absorption.

Daily Requirements

The German Nutrition Society recommends a daily intake of between 300 and 400mg of magnesium (NRV: 375mg). However, individual magnesium needs may vary according to biochemical factors, and can be significantly increased during stressful periods.

Note: According to the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), magnesium intake through supplements should not exceed a maximum daily amount of 250 mg of magnesium in food supplements in order to avoid a laxative effect (mild diarrhoea). The maximum amount applies to persons aged four years and older. For infants under four years of age, there is no such guidance relating to a daily maximum due to lack of data.

The BfR recommends that the daily dose be divided into at least two separate doses per day. This is because scientific data shows that magnesium tolerability is increased when intake is spread between two or more portions per day.

Food Supplement

Do not exceed the recommended dose. Food supplements cannot replace a balanced and varied diet. Keep out of reach of children.
