Magnesium glycinate is a type of mineral supplement, similar to magnesium—the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body. Magnesium glycinate is a form of magnesium that is chelated, meaning it’s in a form that is easier for the body to absorb.1
Magnesium Glycinate Health Uses and Health Benefits
Magnesium glycinate supplements are often recommended for people who have a magnesium deficiency due to inadequate intake of magnesium in their diet or difficulty absorbing it. Magnesium is an essential mineral for several functions including building bone density and regulating digestive health and muscle contractions. Studies have found that supplementing with magnesium glycinate may also benefit anxiety, depression and sleep disorders.1
