Magnesium Chelate

Magnesium Chelate by Designs for Health is a premium magnesium supplement formulated for better absorption, better tolerance, and effective support throughout the body.*

The formula uses chelated magnesium bisglycinate, meaning the magnesium is bonded to two molecules of glycine, an amino acid naturally found in the body.* This patented chelation process helps protect magnesium from compounds in food, such as phytates and tannins, that can interfere with absorption, while allowing it to use dedicated absorption pathways in the intestine and avoid competition with other minerals.*

Compared to forms such as magnesium oxide alone, the chelated bisglycinate form is more efficiently absorbed and retained by the body.* It is also less likely to cause stomach upset or loose stools, making it suitable for daily use.*

Once absorbed, magnesium supports more than 600 biochemical reactions in the body, including muscle relaxation, energy production, bone health, cardiovascular function, and healthy blood sugar metabolism.*

Magnesium Chelate by Designs for Health is formulated to support muscle relaxation and balanced stress responses, making it a well-rounded option for both physical and mental relaxation.*

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in more than 600 biochemical reactions in the body, including muscle and nerve function, energy production, and psychological balance.* A healthy magnesium status supports normal muscle relaxation and the body’s response to everyday stress.* Many people in the U.S. do not get enough magnesium from diet alone, making supplementation especially valuable for those with increased needs due to stress or certain medications.*

Magnesium Chelate by Designs for Health is a foundational supplement that supports many of the body's essential daily functions.*

Its key benefits include support for muscle relaxation and healthy bone structure, cellular energy production, healthy blood sugar metabolism, heart health, healthy blood pressure, and balanced stress responses.* Together, these benefits reflect magnesium's broad role throughout the body, from muscle function and energy production to the body's response to everyday stress.*

What makes this formula stand out is its absorption and tolerability.* It uses a chelated form of magnesium bisglycinate, in which the mineral is bonded to the amino acid glycine through a patented process, allowing it to be absorbed via dedicated pathways in the intestine while avoiding competition with other minerals and reducing the stomach discomfort some magnesium supplements may cause.

The recommended use for Magnesium Chelate™ by Designs for Health is 2 tablets twice per day, or as directed by your health-care practitioner.* Each 2-tablet serving provides 200 mg of magnesium in the highly absorbable chelated formFor best results, take it consistently each day to help your body maintain a healthy magnesium status over time.*

Your health-care practitioner may adjust the serving based on your individual needs, health history, or other factors such as higher magnesium demands from stress or certain medications. It is always a good idea to follow your practitioner's guidance to ensure the right amount for your personal health goals.*

What ingredients are in Magnesium Chelate™ and what do they do?Each 2-tablet serving of Magnesium Chelate™ by Designs for Health provides 200 mg of magnesium as magnesium bisglycinate chelate (also known as magnesium glycinate chelate).*

This formula uses a chelated form of magnesium in which the mineral is bonded to the amino acid glycine through a patented process.* This structure allows magnesium to use dedicated absorption pathways in the intestine, helping it bypass mineral competition and reduce the impact of dietary compounds such as phytates that can interfere with uptake.*

With regular, consistent use, Magnesium Chelate™ by Designs for Health is formulated to support muscle relaxation and comfort, physical and mental relaxation, healthy energy production, balanced stress responses, healthy sleep quality, and heart health and healthy blood pressure.*

How noticeable supplementation feels depends on several personal factors, especially starting magnesium status, as nearly half of U.S. adults do not get enough magnesium from food alone.* People with lower magnesium status often experience more noticeable benefits from consistent supplementation.* Diet also plays a role, since processed foods and demineralized water may provide lower amounts of magnesium, increasing the need for supplementation.*

Stress can increase magnesium needs because the body loses magnesium during periods of physical or emotional stress.* Certain medications may also deplete magnesium, while digestive issues can interfere with absorption.* The chelated, buffered form used in this product is designed to support improved absorption and tolerability in these situations.*

Magnesium Chelate™can be used daily when taken as directed — 2 tablets twice per day, or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.

Its chelated form (magnesium bisglycinate) uses a patented bonding process that makes it far less likely to cause the upset stomach or loose stools sometimes associated with other magnesium supplements. It also supports heart health, bone health, energy production, and muscle relaxation.*

Please consult your health-care practitioner before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or managing a health condition.

Magnesium Chelate™ stands out from many magnesium supplements because it is formulated for superior absorption, better digestive tolerance, and broad whole-body support.*

The formula uses buffered chelate technology, a process that bonds magnesium to the amino acid glycine.* This buffered chelate system has been shown to provide nearly 4X greater absorption than magnesium oxide alone.** The chelated form is also absorbed through specialized pathways in the intestine that reduce competition with other nutrients, making it less likely to cause loose stools or stomach upset compared to many other magnesium forms.*

While magnesium L-threonate, such as the form used in NeuroMag™, is designed primarily to support brain and cognitive health, Magnesium Glycinate Chelate™ is formulated for more comprehensive daily support, including muscle relaxation, bone health, energy production, heart health, healthy blood sugar metabolism, balanced stress responses, and restful sleep.*
