What it does
Magnesium glycinate is magnesium bound to glycine — an amino acid that enhances absorption and provides its own calming benefits. Unlike magnesium oxide (which is poorly absorbed and causes digestive issues), glycinate delivers high bioavailability with zero GI side effects. Involved in 300+ enzymatic reactions in the body.
Key benefits

The evidence
