Magnesium Bisglycinate
Magnesium is involved in over 600 enzymatic reactions in your body—from muscle recovery to sleep quality to heart function—yet most active people fall short of adequate intake, making supplementation a practical way to support performance and resilience. Thorne's bisglycinate form is highly absorbable and gentle on the digestive system, so your body can actually use it where it matters most.
Thorne Magnesium Bisglycinate is a great-tasting powder formulated to support the body's 600-plus enzymatic reactions — including muscle relaxation, cardiovascular function, cellular energy production, and healthy blood sugar — making it a practical daily mineral for those looking to address common magnesium gaps in the diet.
The mineral magnesium is crucial for the body to function properly because magnesium is involved in more than 600 of the body's enzymatic reactions.*
According to World Health Organization statistics, as many as 75 percent of U.S. adults do not meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Recommended Daily Intake of 420 mg of magnesium. Magnesium deficiency can manifest in many ways, such as inefficient blood sugar metabolism, muscle cramps or soreness, eyelid twitching, fatigue, and poor sleep.*
Why is magnesium important?
- Magnesium is essential for the health of the heart and blood vessels, brain, bones, muscles, and lungs, and to support healthy blood sugar*
- Promotes bronchial relaxation*
- It’s an essential mineral for electrical activity of the heart, which supports healthy heart rate and rhythm*
- Helps relax smooth and skeletal muscle*
- Promotes the dilation of blood vessels (vasodilation), which supports normal blood pressure and enhances blood flow*
- Supports insulin sensitivity for healthy blood sugar*
- Is a cofactor for enzymes involved in cellular energy production*
Benefits of Thorne’s Magnesium Bisglycinate:
- Magnesium Bisglycinate is a great-tasting powder that can be mixed with water, juice, or with another powdered supplement.
- The compound magnesium bisglycinate is also called magnesium glycinate; however, because it has two glycine molecules attached, it is more accurately called “bisglycinate” (bis = two). The bisglycinate form has superior absorption because of increased solubility.*
- Decreased laxative effect compared to other magnesium formulations because the bisglycinate form is a true chelate that completely envelopes the magnesium.*
- Glycine is a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and stress reduction in the body – making Magnesium Bisglycinate a good choice for pre-bedtime supplementation to support restful sleep.*
