We use Magnesium Bisglycinate — a chelated form bound to the amino acid glycine, chosen for its high bioavailability and gentle absorption. Unlike many other forms of magnesium, bisglycinate is easier on the digestive system, as well as being more bio-available. So your body can actually make use of it.

Some forms of magnesium are known to cause digestive discomfort or a laxative effect at higher doses. Magnesium Bisglycinate is one of the most gentle forms available, as it bypasses the digestive pathways that typically cause upset. As with any supplement, we always recommend starting with the suggested dose and taking it with food if you have a sensitive stomach.

Magnesium is an essential mineral and needs do increase during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but we always recommend speaking to your GP, midwife, or healthcare provider before starting any new supplement if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive. They'll be able to advise on the right dosage for your individual needs.

Magnesium is involved in over 300 processes in the body, so most adults can benefit from ensuring their intake is sufficient — particularly those with high stress levels, poor sleep, an active lifestyle, or a diet lower in magnesium-rich foods like leafy greens, nuts, and seeds. It's also common for magnesium levels to be depleted by things like caffeine, alcohol, and certain medications.

Magnesium can interact with certain medications, including some antibiotics, diuretics, and medications for osteoporosis or heart conditions, as it may affect how they're absorbed. If you're taking any prescribed medication, please check with your pharmacist or GP before adding a magnesium supplement to your routine.

Magnesium plays a role in regulating the nervous system and supports normal muscle function, helping the body wind down and recover after physical activity or a demanding day. Because Bisglycinate is so well absorbed, it works with your body's natural rhythms rather than against them — making it a popular choice for anyone looking to support restful sleep and day-to-day recovery as part of a nourishing and supported lifestyle.
