Solgar Magnesium Glycinate is a dietary supplement in plant capsules. The daily dose of two capsules provides 240mg magnesium in the form of magnesium glycinate, which corresponds to 64% of the Recommended Daily Allowance. The package contains 60 plant capsules, i.e., 30 daily doses.
It is aimed at adults who want to increase their magnesium intake and prefer a chelated form instead of inorganic salts. It is particularly interesting for those who have tried other forms of magnesium and felt digestive discomfort, those who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, as the capsule shell is plant-based, and those who want to split the dose into two intakes within the day.
Magnesium in supplements is never on its own. It is always bound to another molecule, and this molecule determines how much elemental magnesium the salt contains, how it behaves in the intestine, and how well it is tolerated by everyone. In magnesium glycinate, the metal is bound to two glycine molecules, the simplest amino acid. This connection is called chelated, meaning the amino acid embraces the metal ion like a fist and holds it steady as it passes through the digestive system.
The practical consequence is that the molecule reaches the small intestine less vulnerable to interactions with other meal components, which is why this form is usually described as gentle on the stomach. Magnesium itself is one of the metals with the most approved health claims in the European Union, which means its role in the body is well documented and does not need exaggeration to be described.
According to the product presentation by Solgar itself, the product offers magnesium in an easily absorbable form of high bioavailability. The company highlights the following:
