The Next Step In Human Nutrition.
Complete daily nutrition engineered for bodies that evolved for a world which no longer exists.
One ingredient, done properly. More on the way.
We’re starting with the supplement most people get wrong without knowing it: magnesium glycinate. Ours is 100% non-buffered — nothing mixed in to inflate the label.
Pure Magnesium Glycinate by Evo Hominus™
100% non-buffered magnesium glycinate. Three tablets give 440 mg of elemental magnesium from fully reacted magnesium bisglycinate — with about 2.7 g of glycine and zero magnesium oxide.

India has a bioavailability gap.
Most Indian supplements list the right nutrients. Far fewer use forms your body absorbs well — or tell you what’s really in the tablet. That difference is chemistry, not marketing.
Cheap form, big number
Magnesium oxide, folic acid, cyanocobalamin, pyridoxine — low-cost forms that your body absorbs poorly or must convert first. They make the label number look large.
Less reaches your cells
Magnesium oxide was only about 4% absorbed in one study, and over 60 days it did no better than placebo. Even “magnesium glycinate” is often buffered with oxide to raise the number.
The right form, nothing hidden
Pure Magnesium Glycinate is 100% fully reacted magnesium bisglycinate — no oxide, so every milligram of magnesium comes from the gentle, well-absorbed form, with its glycine intact.
Same label. Very different chemistry. Two bottles can both say “magnesium glycinate 440 mg” — and one of them can be half oxide.
Non-buffered vs buffered magnesium glycinate vs oxide.
Three things that can all be sold as “magnesium”, compared on the numbers that matter. Values are for a 440 mg magnesium serving.
Glycine and chelate share are calculated for a typical buffered product listing 2,000 mg glycinate and 440 mg magnesium, assuming pure bisglycinate is about 14% magnesium and magnesium oxide about 60%. Real buffered products vary. Oxide absorption: Firoz & Graber 2001; Walker 2003.
Is your magnesium glycinate buffered?
Type in two numbers from any magnesium glycinate label — the magnesium and the magnesium glycinate (or bisglycinate) amount, per serving. We’ll do the sum.
How it works: fully reacted magnesium bisglycinate is about 12–14% magnesium by weight. Magnesium oxide is about 60%, so mixing it in pushes the percentage up. A result of 18% or more almost always means oxide has been added. This is a quick check, not a lab test — ask the brand for its certificate of analysis to be sure.
What magnesium glycinate does, once it gets inside.
Magnesium wording follows the EU’s authorised nutrient-function claims. Glycine is described through its human studies. Sources are listed at the bottom of this page.
Evening Wind-Down
Magnesium bisglycinate is the form tested in a 2025 trial of 155 adults with poor sleep, where it improved insomnia scores more than placebo in four weeks. Each serving also carries about 2.7 g of glycine — close to the 3 g studied before bed for sleep quality.
[Schuster 2025 PMID 40918053 · Yamadera 2007 · Bannai 2012]
Calm Mind, Steady Nerves
Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function and the normal functioning of the nervous system. In stressed adults with low magnesium, 300 mg a day reduced how stressed they felt over eight weeks.
[EU Reg. 432/2012 · Pouteau 2018]
Muscle Function & Recovery
Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and electrolyte balance. In a small trial, magnesium glycinate at 350 mg a day reduced soreness after hard training and improved how recovered people felt.
[EU Reg. 432/2012 · Reno 2022 PMID 33009349]
Less Tiredness
Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal energy-yielding metabolism. In adults kept on short sleep, 3 g of glycine at bedtime reduced next-day sleepiness and fatigue.
[EU Reg. 432/2012 · Bannai 2012 PMID 22529837]
Bones, Teeth & Protein Use
Magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth and to normal protein synthesis — useful whether you lift, run, or simply want to age well.
[EU Reg. 432/2012]
Gentle on the Stomach
Magnesium bisglycinate was better tolerated than magnesium oxide in a clinical study. Non-buffered means no oxide at all — the form most linked to loose stools.
[Schuette 1994 PMID 7815675]

Nutritiondidn’t.
Two hundred thousand years of human biology, dropped into fluorescent light, processed food, and depleted soil. Your genes expect a world you no longer live in. Evo Hominus™ is nutrition re-engineered to close that gap — bioavailable, evidence-informed, built for the body you actually have.
From adaptation to optimization.
Primitive Human
Nutrient-dense, foraged food. Constant movement. Sunlight-driven rhythm. Biology and environment in balance.
Modern Human
Same biology. Depleted soil, processed food, artificial light, chronic stress. The gap widens every year.
Optimized Human
Nutrition built to compensate — bioavailable vitamin forms and precisely dosed minerals for a body under modern load.
Built for people who read labels.
Nine kinds of Indians we built Evo Hominus™ around. If you’re one of them, you’ll recognise the choices we made.
The Working Professional
Ten-hour days, late emails, a mind that won’t switch off at 11 pm. Three tablets in the evening is a small habit that supports your nervous system and your wind-down.
The 30+ Adult
The decade when sleep gets lighter and recovery slower. Magnesium supports normal muscle function and less tiredness — in a form that’s easy on the stomach.
The Vegetarian
Dal, rice, roti and sabzi can leave gaps. Our tablets are vegetarian, and our coming-soon multivitamin is being built for vegetarian diets too.
The Lifter
You know magnesium matters for muscle and recovery. Pure Magnesium Glycinate gives 440 mg of it from a true chelate — not oxide.
The HYROX / Endurance Athlete
Long sessions and sweat raise the stakes on minerals. Magnesium supports electrolyte balance and normal muscle function, without the gut trouble of oxide.
The Woman Reading the Label
India’s daily magnesium allowance for women is 370 mg, so two tablets (about 293 mg) fit it. Every number is on the label so you can decide for yourself.
The Urban Indian
Refined grains, processed food and long commutes. Many urban Indian diets fall short of the magnesium allowance — a gap that’s easy to close with the right form.
The Protein-Powder User
You’ve picked a protein you trust. Minerals are the piece most stacks skip — and magnesium contributes to normal protein synthesis.
The Label-Reader
You already ask “is this buffered?” We show the 12% math and every ingredient in the tablet, so you never have to guess.
Not sure where your gaps are?
Try the 2-minute Nutrient Gap Finder →Everything in the tablet, on the label.
We don’t just tell you what’s in the bottle. We show you the form, the exact dose, the math behind it and the studies we relied on — so you can check every claim.
What’s inside
Every ingredient listed, actives and excipients — no proprietary blends.
Which form
Fully reacted magnesium bisglycinate, with no oxide mixed in.
How much
Elemental magnesium shown alongside the compound weight: 440 mg from 3,667 mg.
The math
12% magnesium — the range of a true chelate. Check it yourself above.
The evidence
Human studies named and linked, with their limits stated plainly.
The paperwork
A batch lab report for the founding batch, and our FSSAI licence number once issued.
“People’s trust is what drives us. We don’t manufacture things that we can’t have ourselves.”
— Abhishek & Priyam · Founders, Evo Hominus™
Minerals work on a slow clock.
Magnesium doesn’t give a caffeine-shaped signal. Here’s the honest picture of how the research measured it.
Build the habit
Three tablets, mostly in the evening. Consistency matters more than anything else.
Where the sleep trial measured
The 2025 magnesium bisglycinate trial measured its improvement in insomnia scores at four weeks.
Where the stress trial measured
In stressed adults with low magnesium, the reduction in perceived stress was measured at eight weeks.
These are study timelines, not a promise about your results. Response varies with your starting magnesium, diet, sleep and training load.
One tablet with dinner. Two before bed.
Dinner
One tablet with your evening meal. Food makes it even gentler on the stomach.
Wind-Down
Two tablets about an hour before bed. Screens down, lights low — let the day close.
Sleep
Magnesium bisglycinate plus about 2.7 g of glycine — the pairing studied for sleep quality.
Training
Magnesium supports normal muscle function and electrolyte balance on the days you push hard.
The Long Game
Steady daily intake beats occasional big doses. Small habits compound.
