Life Extension Magnesium Glycinate - 105 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule in glycine chelate form. Gluten-free, Non GMO LE Certified, 90 vegetarian capsules per bottle.
Composition and form of magnesium
Each capsule contains 105 mg of elemental magnesium as magnesium glycinate - a chelated form where the mineral is bound to the amino acid glycine. Other ingredients: vegetable cellulose (capsule material) and vegetable stearate. No dyes, animal-derived fillers, gluten or GMO ingredients.
The bottle is designed for 30-90 days of use, depending on the selected number of capsules per day.
How many magnesium glycinate capsules should I take per day?
The manufacturer recommends 1 capsule 1 to 3 times a day - or as recommended by a doctor. When taking 1 capsule per day, the bottle is enough for 90 days, when taking 3 capsules - for 30 days. A single dose of 105 mg allows you to flexibly select the daily volume depending on individual needs.
Why choose magnesium glycinate?
Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body - it is one of the most involved trace elements in the daily functioning of cells. Magnesium glycinate is often chosen as a source of magnesium for the daily diet by those looking for a form with a mild effect on the digestive tract: the chelate structure avoids the osmotic effect characteristic of oxide or citrate in large doses.
The glycinate form of magnesium is often considered to support the nervous system and muscle function, which are the areas most often mentioned in the context of magnesium supplements. Life Extension positions the product as a supplement for supporting overall health.
How does magnesium glycinate differ from other forms?
Different forms of magnesium have different chemical structures and may differ in tolerability. Magnesium oxide is the cheapest form with a low concentration of elemental magnesium per molecule and a pronounced laxative effect at high doses. Magnesium citrate is well studied and widely distributed, but can also affect the functioning of the intestine. Glycinate is a chelated form: the magnesium molecule is connected to glycine, which, according to manufacturers, provides a milder effect on the gastrointestinal tract and stable absorption.
That is why magnesium glycinate often appears in discussions as an option for those who have already tried other forms and are looking for better tolerability.
Who is the Life Extension format suitable for?
Vegetarian capsule made of vegetable cellulose makes the supplement suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets. The absence of gluten is relevant for people with intolerance or sensitivity to it. The compact format of 90 capsules is convenient for those who plan a course of treatment or want to try the form for the first time before a larger volume.
