Magnesium Bisglycinate Capsules - 320 mg - 120 Capsules
320 mg of magnesium – entirely from bisglycinate
The daily dose of two capsules provides 320 mg of magnesium, equivalent to a full 85% of the NRV. What matters is where these 320 mg come from: in our capsules, exclusively from magnesium bisglycinate.
That cannot be taken for granted in this product group. Many products that display bisglycinate on the front mix in magnesium oxide in the background – the cheapest magnesium compound available. The label may still say “magnesium bisglycinate”, and the magnesium figure rises without any more of the expensive bisglycinate being included. You can identify this in the ingredient list or by terms such as “buffered”, “Complex” or “Blend”.
There is no magnesium oxide on our ingredient list. It is short and you can check it in five seconds.
Capsules filled to the brim
Bisglycinate is a voluminous raw material. Anyone who wants to obtain 320 mg of magnesium exclusively from it needs a correspondingly large amount – and that is precisely why the capsules are large and the daily dose is divided between two. Adding oxide would make it possible to achieve the same figure with considerably smaller capsules. We chose the other route.
Why the bond determines tolerability
Magnesium is never used on its own, but is always bound to a partner. What happens in the intestine depends on this bond.
With oxide and citrate, the bond is weak: it dissolves in the stomach, the magnesium reaches the intestine unbound and draws in water. This is the reason for softer stools at higher doses.
With bisglycinate, the partner is the amino acid glycine – twice over – and this bond holds. The magnesium reaches the small intestine protected and uses the transport pathways for amino acids rather than those for minerals. This is why 320 mg per day is well tolerated here.
What magnesium does in the body*
- contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- contributes to normal muscle function
- contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system
- contributes to normal psychological function
- contributes to electrolyte balance
- contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism
- contributes to normal protein synthesis
- contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth
- has a role in the process of cell division
Taurine and vitamin B6*
100 mg of taurine per daily serving. Taurine is one of the most abundant free amino acids in the human body – particularly concentrated in the heart muscle, skeletal muscles, retina and brain, in other words, tissues with a high energy turnover. Dietary taurine comes almost exclusively from animal sources: fish, seafood and meat. People following a vegetarian or vegan diet therefore consume correspondingly little.
1.5 mg of vitamin B6 is equivalent to 107% NRV. Vitamin B6 contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function, normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue – in other words, it additionally supports the same functions as magnesium.
Recommended intake
Take 2 capsules daily, swallowed whole with sufficient liquid, preferably spread throughout the day with meals. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
Ingredients
Magnesium bisglycinate, taurine, bulking agent: cellulose, anti-caking agent: magnesium salts of fatty acids (plant-based), pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), glazing agent: Pullulan (plant-based capsule shell).
Important information
If you have impaired kidney function, seek medical advice before use. Magnesium can affect the absorption of certain medicines, including some antibiotics and bisphosphonates – in this case, leave an interval of at least two hours.
Do not exceed the stated recommended daily intake. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children. Store in a cool, dry and dark place.

Magnesium Bisglycinate Capsules - 320 mg - 120 Capsules
Magnesium bisglycinate – 320 mg, without oxide
Entirely from bisglycinate. 120 capsules for 60 days.
No magnesium oxide in the ingredient list
Many products display bisglycinate on the front of the label but mix in magnesium oxide in the background – the cheapest magnesium compound available. The magnesium figure on the label rises while the proportion of expensive bisglycinate remains low. You can see this in the ingredient list or in terms such as “buffered”, “Complex” or “Blend”. It may sound good – but it is not. In our product, all 320 mg of magnesium come from bisglycinate.
Filled to the brim, and for good reason
Bisglycinate is a fairly voluminous raw material. Anyone who wants to obtain the full amount of magnesium exclusively from it needs a correspondingly large quantity – which is why these capsules are quite large and the daily dose is divided between two. Adding oxide would make it possible to fit the same figure into much smaller capsules. We chose a different approach.
Why the bond determines tolerability
With oxide and citrate, the bond breaks down in the stomach; the free magnesium becomes osmotically active in the intestine and draws in water – hence the softer stools at higher doses. In bisglycinate, the magnesium is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. This bond withstands stomach acid and is absorbed through amino-acid transport pathways. That is precisely why 320 mg per day is feasible here.
A full nine functions*
Magnesium contributes to:
- the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- normal muscle function
- the normal functioning of the nervous system
- normal psychological function.
In addition, there are electrolyte balance, energy-yielding metabolism, protein synthesis, bones and teeth, as well as a role in cell division.

Vitamin B6 works along the same pathways*
1.5 mg, equivalent to 107% NRV. Like magnesium, vitamin B6 contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function, normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. The two complement each other here for a reason. Plus 100 mg of taurine per daily serving.

FAQs
Does it contain magnesium oxide?
No. All 320 mg of magnesium per daily serving come from magnesium bisglycinate. Magnesium oxide is not included and therefore does not appear in the ingredient list. In blended products it appears there, or terms such as “buffered”, “Complex” or “Blend” are used.
How much magnesium does one capsule contain?
160 mg per capsule and 320 mg per daily serving of two capsules, equivalent to 85% of the nutrient reference value. In each case this means elemental magnesium, not the weight of the magnesium compound – a distinction that is easily overlooked when comparing products.
Why are the capsules so large?
Because bisglycinate is a voluminous raw material. Obtaining the full amount of magnesium exclusively from it requires a correspondingly large quantity – hence two large capsules instead of one small one. Adding magnesium oxide would make it possible to achieve the same magnesium figure in a much more compact form, but not with the same proportion of chelate.
What is the difference between bisglycinate and magnesium oxide or citrate?
The difference is the bond. The bonds in oxide and citrate break down easily in the stomach; the released magnesium then draws water into the intestine, which can cause bowel problems. Bisglycinate is different: the magnesium ion is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. This bond withstands stomach acid well and is absorbed through amino-acid transport pathways, making it easier on digestion.
Why two capsules instead of one?
Two reasons. First, magnesium is absorbed better in smaller portions than in one large one, so two servings spread over the day make more sense. Second, a single capsule containing the full daily amount would simply be too large to swallow.
When is the best time to take the capsules?
Spread throughout the day, preferably with meals. Many people take one capsule in the morning and one in the evening. If you take antibiotics or bisphosphonates, leave an interval of at least two hours – magnesium can affect their absorption.
Does the product cause soft stools?
Considerably less often than magnesium oxide or citrate, because the chelate bond remains intact in the stomach and the magnesium does not become osmotically active in the intestine. Sensitive individuals should nevertheless start with one capsule daily and generally divide the daily dose between two servings.
Why are taurine and vitamin B6 included?
Like magnesium, vitamin B6 contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function, normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue; the two therefore work along the same pathways. The product contains 1.5 mg, equivalent to 107% NRV.
Taurine can also perform important functions in the body and, in our view, fits this formulation very well – here at 100 mg per daily serving.
Is the product vegan?
Yes. The capsule shell is also made from Pullulan, a plant-based polysaccharide, rather than gelatine.
How long does one bottle last?
60 days. At two capsules daily, 120 capsules last for two full months.
Who is this product not suitable for?
If you have impaired kidney function, seek medical advice before use – magnesium is excreted through the kidneys. If you regularly take medication, leave an interval between taking it and this product.
