According to World Health Organization statistics, as many as 75 percent of U.S. adults do not meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Recommended Daily Intake of 420 mg of magnesium. Magnesium deficiency can manifest in many ways, such as inefficient blood sugar metabolism, muscle cramps or soreness, eyelid twitching, fatigue, and poor sleep.*
Benefits of Magnesium
Benefits of Magnesium
- Magnesium is essential for the health of the heart and blood vessels, brain, bones, muscles, and lungs, and to support healthy sugar metabolism*
- Promotes bronchial relaxation*
- It’s an essential mineral for electrical activity of the heart, which supports normal heart rate and rhythm*
- Helps relax smooth and skeletal muscle*
- Promotes the dilation of blood vessels (vasodilation), which maintains normal blood pressure and enhances blood flow*
- Supports insulin sensitivity*
- Is a cofactor for enzymes involved in cellular energy production*
- The glycinate form of magnesium is a good choice for pre-bedtime supplementation to support restful sleep because the magnesium is bound to glycine, a calming neurotransmitter*
Features of Thorne’s Magnesium Glycinate
Features of Thorne’s Magnesium Glycinate
- Decreased laxative effect compared to other magnesium formulations because the glycinate form is a true chelate that completely envelopes the magnesium
- Also available as a powdered formula in individual stick pack servings or a 60-serving jar

Did you know?
The compound magnesium bisglycinate is also called magnesium glycinate. However, because it has two glycine molecules attached, it is more accurately called “bisglycinate” (bis = two). Bottom line: They’re the same thing.

FAQS
What is Thorne Magnesium Glycinate, and what makes it unique?
What is Thorne Magnesium Glycinate, and what makes it unique?
Thorne Magnesium Glycinate is a dietary supplement featuring magnesium in the chelated glycinate form. Its uniqueness lies in two key aspects: first, the chelated structure ensureshigh absorptionby the body, making it more effective than many other magnesium formulations; second, it has adecreased laxative effectcompared to other magnesium types, as the glycinate form fully envelopes the magnesium, reducing digestive discomfort. It is designed to support restful sleep, muscle relaxation, and overall bodily functions dependent on magnesium.

What are the key benefits of taking Thorne Magnesium Glycinate?
What are the key benefits of taking Thorne Magnesium Glycinate?
Thorne Magnesium Glycinate offers multiple benefits tied to magnesium’s role in over 600 enzymatic reactions in the body:
- Supports restful sleep (the glycinate form binds to glycine, a calming neurotransmitter, making it ideal for pre-bedtime use).
- Promotes muscle relaxation (helps relax smooth and skeletal muscles, reducing issues like muscle cramps or soreness).
- Supports heart health (essential for the heart’s electrical activity, maintaining normal heart rate and rhythm; also aids blood vessel dilation to support healthy blood pressure).
- Aids healthy blood sugar metabolism (supports insulin sensitivity).
- Boosts cellular energy production (acts as a cofactor for energy-related enzymes).
- Supports bronchial relaxation and overall health of the brain, bones, and lungs.
