Magnesium isn’t one job. It’s the thing three hundred other jobs need.
Enzymes are the machinery your body runs on, and many of them cannot work without a helper molecule sitting alongside them. For more than three hundred of them, that helper is magnesium. Nerve signalling, muscle relaxation, blood sugar handling, building protein, turning food into energy — all of it needs magnesium present.

Why the form matters, and why the serving is three capsules
Magnesium on its own is a reactive metal. It is never sold as the bare element, so every magnesium supplement is magnesium bound to something else, and what it is bound to is the real decision behind the product.
We bind it to glycine, an amino acid, rather than to an inorganic salt. That choice has a visible consequence, and it is worth explaining rather than hiding: the magnesium is only about a tenth of that molecule by weight. Delivering a full 275mg therefore takes 2,500mg of compound, and 2,500mg does not fit inside one capsule. Hence three. We would rather give you the whole amount and be honest about what it takes.
Ninety capsules make 30 three-capsule servings. Most people take it in the evening, with or without food, and it does not need to be taken with a meal.
Give it three months. Nutrient levels move slowly, and three months is a fair trial.
Common Questions
When should I take magnesium glycinate?
Most people take it in the evening. It can be taken with or without food.
Three capsules seems like a lot. Is it?
It is the size of the molecule, not the size of the dose. Magnesium is roughly a tenth of magnesium glycinate by weight, so 275mg of elemental magnesium takes 2,500mg of the compound to deliver, and that will not fit in a single capsule. The three capsules are one serving, taken together.
Can I take it with my other supplements?
Yes. Magnesium is commonly taken alongside other formulas and does not need to be separated from them. If you have reduced kidney function, or take prescription medication, speak to your doctor first.
