Pure Encapsulations Magnesium Glycinate: For Sensitive Individuals; Supports Cardiometabolic, Neurocognitive and Musculoskeletal Health
This is the magnesium glycinate most people are looking for when they search the name: 120 mg of magnesium per capsule, bound to glycine as a chelate. Pure Encapsulations describes this one as a "highly bioavailable magnesium chelate for sensitive individuals."*
Who I Reach For This With
- People with a sensitive stomach who want a chelated form of magnesium
- Anyone building magnesium intake steadily over time
- Patients who want magnesium for muscle, heart and metabolic support
- Evening routines, since the dose is easy to adjust up or down
What Makes This Form Different
- Magnesium (as magnesium glycinate) 120 mg per size 00 vegetarian capsule
- Glycinate is a chelate, meaning the mineral is bound to the amino acid glycine; Pure describes this product as "well tolerated"* and says magnesium (glycinate) is less likely to cause loose stools than other forms of magnesium*
- Vegetarian capsule, vegan, free from wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, GMOs and gluten
What Pure Encapsulations Says It Supports*

- Promotes healthy cardiovascular function*
- Provides support for cognitive and neuromuscular function*

How It Fits Into a Protocol
This is my default magnesium. It pairs with Glycine in the evening routine, with Gabatone Active or TravaCor in calming protocols, and with Vitamin D3 & K2 as part of a bone-nutrient foundation. SFI Magnesium Citrate is the pick when regularity is also wanted. If you take any medication, check with your prescribing provider before adding this.
