Magnesium glycinate is the quiet best-seller of our entire supplement wall, and Epsilon.Life’s chelated bisglycinate is the bottle responsible: 120 vegan capsules of the form magnesium-literate customers specifically ask for — gentle, well absorbed, and free of every filler the cheap bottles lean on.

Why the glycinate form wins

Magnesium supplements live or die by their form. The oxide that dominates budget shelves is poorly absorbed and famously laxative; glycinate — magnesium chelated to two molecules of the amino acid glycine — is the opposite character: highly bioavailable and kind to the stomach, which means the mineral actually arrives and the routine actually survives. Each capsule carries 55 mg of elemental magnesium, so one or two in the evening covers most routines without digestive drama.

What magnesium is for

The mineral’s authorised job description is long and unusually relevant to modern life: magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function, normal energy-yielding metabolism, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. It sits in over 300 of the body’s enzymatic processes — and the foods richest in it (greens, nuts, seeds, legumes) are precisely the ones rushed weeks neglect, while stress and generous coffee habits spend it faster.

The Epsilon.Life standard

Vegan certified; made in the UK to pharmaceutical GMP standards; non-GMO ingredients; and pointedly free of magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide and the rest of the filler cast. The label declares everything, which is why this bottle converts sceptics — it reads like a formulation, not a compromise. It suits vegan, vegetarian, keto, fasting and paleo routines without an asterisk.

How to take it

One or two capsules with food, most naturally towards the end of the evening — magnesium’s reputation as the wind-down mineral is well earned by its nervous-system and psychological-function roles. Don’t exceed the label dose; if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication or under medical supervision, check with your GP first. Food supplements complement a varied diet rather than replace it.

Frequently asked questions

Glycinate vs bisglycinate? Identical — two names (three, counting diglycinate) for the same chelate.

Will it upset my stomach like my last magnesium? That’s the entire reason this form exists — the non-laxative reputation is the product’s calling card.

How long does the bottle last? 120 capsules covers two to four months depending on your dose.

Better value in bulk? The two-bottle pack exists for exactly that maths — and the Magnesium + D3/K2 duo pairs it with its daytime partner.

The evening-shelf economics

Do the arithmetic that regular customers eventually do: at one capsule a night, this bottle costs pennies per evening for the mineral with the longest authorised CV in the catalogue. That, plus the absence of digestive surprises, is why it holds the highest reorder rate on our shelves and why “which magnesium?” has become the easiest question we answer. Keep it by the bedside water glass rather than in the kitchen — the mineral whose job description includes tiredness reduction deserves prime position in the wind-down, not a cameo at breakfast when you’re already vertical and caffeinated.

Can I take it alongside vitamin D? Classic pairing — the duo bundle exists because customers kept building it themselves.

Why 55 mg elemental per capsule rather than a mega-dose? Chelates trade raw milligrams for absorption and tolerance — the dose that stays comfortable nightly beats the dose that gets abandoned by Thursday.
