NOW Magnesium Glycinate FAQ

What is magnesium glycinate? It’s magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. NOW uses magnesium bisglycinate from Albion.
What does “elemental magnesium” mean? It’s the amount of magnesium itself, not the whole magnesium bisglycinate compound. A 2-tablet serve gives 200 mg of elemental magnesium.
How many tablets do I take? The label says 2 tablets 1–2 times a day with food. Don’t go over the amount on the label.
How long does a bottle last? There are 180 tablets, or 90 serves of 2. That’s 90 days at one serve a day, or 45 days at two serves a day.
How is it different from NOW Magnesium Malate? Both are magnesium tablets from NOW. This one uses magnesium bisglycinate, with 200 mg of elemental magnesium per 2 tablets. NOW Magnesium Malate 1000 mg uses magnesium malate, with 113 mg of elemental magnesium per tablet.
Is it the same as glycine? No. Magnesium glycinate contains glycine bound to magnesium, but it isn’t a glycine supplement. We also stock NOW Glycine 1000 mg if you’re after plain glycine.
