What it supports

Magnesium glycinate for sleep, stress and recovery.

Late nights, early meetings, hard training, a mind that won’t switch off. Magnesium helps with all of it, and the glycinate form brings a second helper along — glycine.

A better evening wind-down

Magnesium bisglycinate is the exact form tested in a 2025 trial of 155 adults with poor sleep. It improved their insomnia scores more than a placebo within four weeks.1 Each serving also carries about 2.7 g of glycine, close to the 3 g taken before bed in human sleep-quality studies.2,3

Magnesium bisglycinate · Glycine

Calm mind, steady nerves

Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function and to the normal functioning of the nervous system.4 In stressed adults with low magnesium, 300 mg a day reduced how stressed they felt over eight weeks.5 One serving here gives 440 mg.

Magnesium

Muscle function & recovery

Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and to electrolyte balance.4 In a small trial, magnesium glycinate at 350 mg a day reduced soreness after hard training and improved how recovered people felt.6

Magnesium bisglycinate

Less tiredness, steadier energy

Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal energy-yielding metabolism.4 In adults kept on short sleep, 3 g of glycine at bedtime reduced next-day sleepiness and fatigue.3

Magnesium · Glycine

Bones, teeth & protein use

Magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth and to normal protein synthesis4 — useful whether you lift weights, run, or simply want to age well.

Magnesium

Gentle on your stomach

Magnesium bisglycinate is partly absorbed through the gut’s amino-acid pathways, and in a clinical study it was better tolerated than magnesium oxide.7 Non-buffered means no oxide at all — the form most linked to loose stools.

Magnesium bisglycinate

Claim wording follows the authorised nutrient-function claims of EU Regulation 432/2012 for magnesium. Glycine has no authorised claim, so we describe it through the human studies, with their details in the “About the studies” box at the bottom of this page.

Inside every serving

Magnesium bisglycinate: one ingredient, nothing hiding.

Three tablets give you 3,667 mg of fully reacted magnesium bisglycinate. Tap a row to see what it does. Doses are per three-tablet serving.

What 3,667 mg of magnesium bisglycinate is made of

In a true chelate, every magnesium atom is held by two glycine molecules. That’s why the magnesium share is only about 12% — and why each serving carries so much glycine.

  • Magnesium440 mg
  • Glycine (bound to the magnesium)~2.7 g
  • Bound water~0.5 g
Magnesium from oxide0 mg
Check the math

440 mg ÷ 3,667 mg = 12% magnesium. Fully reacted magnesium bisglycinate is about 12–14% magnesium. When a “magnesium glycinate” label works out at 18% or more, magnesium oxide has been mixed in to raise the number.

The only active
Magnesium Bisglycinate100% fully reacted, non-buffered — 3,667 mg440 mg
Magnesium held by two glycine molecules. Because the chelate is stable, it is gentle on the stomach and is partly absorbed through the gut’s amino-acid pathways.7 In a 60-day trial, an amino-acid chelate of magnesium raised blood magnesium where magnesium oxide did no better than placebo,8 and oxide was only about 4% absorbed in another study.9 The European Food Safety Authority rated magnesium bisglycinate not of safety concern.10 The 440 mg serving equals India’s full daily magnesium allowance for adult men.11
The bonus that comes with it
GlycineCarried by the magnesium chelate~2.7 g
Glycine is an amino acid your brain uses as a calming signal. In human studies, 3 g of glycine before bed improved how well people slept and how fresh they felt the next morning.2,3 Researchers think it works partly by helping the body cool down slightly at night — one of the natural cues for sleep — a pathway mapped in animal studies.12 This serving carries about 2.7 g, roughly 90% of the amount used in those studies.
Everything else in the tablet
Other ingredientsListed in full, as on the label—
Maize starch and povidone (INS 1201) to bind the tablet; microcrystalline cellulose (INS 460(i)) as a filler; croscarmellose sodium (INS 468) to help it break apart in your stomach; a thin film coating of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (INS 464), polyethylene glycol (INS 1521), ethylcellulose (INS 462), talc (INS 553(iii)) and titanium dioxide (INS 171); and magnesium stearate (INS 470(iii)) and silicon dioxide (INS 551) so the tablets don’t stick. No sugar, no proprietary blends.
What buffering quietly takes away

Pure chelate means the full glycine dose.

Glycine only comes with magnesium that is properly chelated. When a product is “buffered” with magnesium oxide, part of its magnesium arrives with no glycine at all.

Take a typical buffered tablet listing 2,000 mg of “magnesium glycinate” and 440 mg of magnesium. To reach that number, roughly half its magnesium has to come from oxide — leaving only about 1.4 g of glycine. Pure Magnesium Glycinate gives the same 440 mg of magnesium with about 2.7 g of glycine, all of it from the chelate.1,2

How to take it

Three tablets. Mostly in the evening.

Your routine

Simple enough to keep doing

  1. Take three tablets a dayOne with dinner and two about an hour before bed works well, or all three in the evening. Take them with water, and with food if your stomach is sensitive.
  2. Women: two tablets fit your allowanceIndia’s daily magnesium allowance is 440 mg for men and 370 mg for women. Two tablets give about 293 mg.11
  3. Keep it dailyMinerals build up over weeks of steady intake. Magnesium trials have typically measured changes over four to eight weeks.1,5
  4. Space it from certain medicinesTake it at least two hours apart from tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics, bisphosphonates and thyroid medication.14 Don’t exceed three tablets a day; if your stools get loose, drop to two.

How to spot unbuffered magnesium glycinate on any label.

  • Do the math. Divide the magnesium by the glycinate weight. About 12–14% means a true chelate. 18% or more means oxide has been added.
  • The word “buffered”. Also watch for “chelate blend” or “glycinate complex”. Look for “fully reacted”, “non-buffered” or “unbuffered”.
  • “Magnesium oxide” in the ingredients. It’s cheap and was only about 4% absorbed in one study.9 In a glycinate product, it means buffering.
  • The word “elemental”. “2000 mg magnesium glycinate” is compound weight. Check how many milligrams of actual magnesium you get.
  • Many forms, no amounts. “Triple” or “multi-form” magnesium without a per-form amount hides how much is oxide.
  • “Proprietary blend”. If the doses are hidden, you can’t tell what you’re taking.
Questions

Pure Magnesium Glycinate, answered plainly.

What is non-buffered magnesium glycinate?

It is magnesium glycinate with nothing mixed in. Every magnesium atom is bound to two glycine molecules (a “fully reacted” chelate). Many products are buffered — blended with cheaper magnesium oxide so the label shows more magnesium per tablet. Non-buffered means all the magnesium comes from the gentle, well-absorbed glycinate form.

How can I tell if a magnesium glycinate is non-buffered?

Do the math on the label. Divide the elemental magnesium by the magnesium glycinate weight. About 12–14% means a true chelate; 18% or more means oxide has been added. Pure Magnesium Glycinate gives 440 mg of magnesium from 3,667 mg of magnesium bisglycinate — 12%.

Which magnesium glycinate supplements in India are non-buffered?

Only a few say so clearly, so check the math on any label: about 12–14% magnesium means a true chelate. Pure Magnesium Glycinate by Evo Hominus™ is 100% non-buffered: 440 mg of magnesium from 3,667 mg of fully reacted magnesium bisglycinate, with no magnesium oxide in the ingredients.

Is magnesium glycinate the same as magnesium bisglycinate?

Yes. “Bisglycinate” is the more exact chemical name — “bis” means two glycine molecules per magnesium atom. Magnesium glycinate and magnesium diglycinate refer to the same compound.

How much glycine does it contain, and why does it matter?

About 2.7 g of glycine per three-tablet serving, carried by the magnesium chelate itself. Glycine is an amino acid your brain uses as a calming signal, and human studies used 3 g before bed for sleep quality. A buffered product at the same magnesium dose carries roughly half as much glycine, because the oxide part has none.

Why three tablets a day?

Because pure chelate is bulky. Getting 440 mg of magnesium takes 3,667 mg of magnesium bisglycinate, too much for one or two tablets. Products that fit 440 mg into two small tablets usually do it by adding oxide. Three tablets is the honest sign of a non-buffered formula.

Is 440 mg of magnesium a day safe?

Yes, for healthy adults. 440 mg is India’s full daily magnesium allowance for adult men (ICMR-NIN 2020). The women’s allowance is 370 mg, so women can take two tablets (about 293 mg). Higher magnesium doses can loosen stools; if that happens, drop a tablet. If you have kidney disease, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take prescription medication, check with your doctor first.

When is the best time to take it?

Mostly in the evening. One tablet with dinner and two about an hour before bed works well, or take all three in the evening. Take them with food if your stomach is sensitive.

Will it help me sleep?

It supports your evening wind-down. Magnesium bisglycinate is the form used in a 2025 trial where adults with poor sleep improved their insomnia scores more than on placebo within four weeks, and glycine has been studied before bed for sleep quality. It is not a sleeping pill, and results vary — good sleep habits still matter most.

Will it upset my stomach?

It’s designed not to. There is no magnesium oxide, the form most linked to loose stools, and magnesium bisglycinate was better tolerated than oxide in a clinical study. If you’re sensitive, take it after food.

Can I take it with other supplements or medicines?

Yes, with a few rules. Space it at least two hours from tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics, bisphosphonates and thyroid medication. Add up the magnesium from all your supplements so your total stays sensible. If you take blood-pressure or other prescription medicines, ask your doctor first.

Is it vegetarian? What about allergens?

Yes, the tablets are vegetarian. The ingredients contain no gelatin, sugar or proprietary blends. They are made in a facility that also processes oats, milk, soy, wheat and nuts.

How soon will I notice a difference?

It depends on where you start. Magnesium trials have typically measured changes over four to eight weeks of daily use, and people who eat less magnesium tend to notice more. Consistency matters more than anything else.

About the studies
  • The 2025 sleep trial gave 250 mg of magnesium a day as bisglycinate to 155 healthy adults with poor sleep; this product gives 440 mg. The improvement was modest, and larger in people who ate less magnesium.1
  • The glycine sleep studies gave 3 g of pure glycine before bed. They were small (11 people in the sleep-lab study) and funded by a glycine maker.2,3 The body-cooling pathway was mapped in rats.12 Here the glycine is carried by the magnesium chelate rather than taken on its own.
  • The stress trial used a different magnesium salt in adults with low blood magnesium.5 The muscle-soreness trial was in 22 young adults over 10 days, at 350 mg a day.6
  • The stomach-tolerance study was in 12 people after bowel surgery: overall absorption was similar to oxide, and the chelate absorbed better in the four people who absorbed oxide worst.7 The 60-day comparison used an amino-acid chelate of magnesium, not specifically bisglycinate.8
  • The “buffered” glycine example assumes pure bisglycinate is about 14% magnesium and magnesium oxide about 60%; real buffered products vary.
  • For supplements, Europe sets 250 mg and the US 350 mg of magnesium a day as levels to avoid loose stools in everyone. India’s ICMR-NIN allowance is 440 mg for men and 370 mg for women, from all sources.11
