Klaire Labs Magnesium Glycinate Complex

No, magnesium glycinate is a chelated form that is highly bioavailable and generally does not cause the laxative effect associated with magnesium oxide or magnesium citrate. This makes it suitable for individuals with sensitive digestive systems who need to supplement magnesium.

Klaire Labs formulates this product to be hypoallergenic and free of common allergens like gluten and dairy. However, you should check the specific capsule material on the label, as some supplement capsules use bovine gelatin rather than plant-based cellulose.

Because magnesium glycinate has calming properties due to the presence of the amino acid glycine, it is best taken in the evening about an hour before bed. This helps to relax the nervous system and naturally promote deeper, more restful sleep.

The exact amount of elemental magnesium per capsule varies, but typically you need to take two or three capsules daily to reach a standard clinical dose of 200mg to 400mg. Always follow the serving instructions on the label or consult a healthcare provider.
