Description
NOW Magnesium Glycinate is a chelated form of magnesium in which the mineral is bound to the amino acid glycine (as Albion™ bisglycinate). This bond helps the magnesium pass through the intestinal wall efficiently, so more is absorbed and less is left behind to cause the digestive upset linked to cheaper forms like magnesium oxide. Each two-tablet serving provides 200 mg of elemental magnesium.
The bottle contains 180 tablets. The suggested serving is 2 tablets, so each bottle gives you 90 servings. Taken once daily that lasts about three months; taken twice daily for higher needs, around 45 days. At 200 mg elemental magnesium per serving, two tablets cover roughly 48% of an adult's daily magnesium requirement.
Take 2 tablets, one to two times daily, with food, or as advised by your pharmacist or doctor. Splitting the dose between meals can improve comfort and absorption. Many people prefer an evening dose, as magnesium supports muscle relaxation and a calm wind-down before bed. Store in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children.
Yes. NOW labels this product as suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and the tablet coating is plant-based hypromellose (vegetable cellulose) rather than gelatin, the exact thing to look for in a vegan supplement. It is also Non-GMO and made without wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts or sesame, so it suits most common dietary restrictions.
