Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 600 biochemical reactions in the body
Magnesium status is often low due to modern diets, stress, and certain medications, so supplementation can be beneficial for many.* This advanced chelated, buffered formula is designed to help maintain an optimal gastrointestinal pH environment for superior absorption, promoting magnesium bioavailability.* It may also be less affected by dietary inhibitors like phytates and may utilize alternative intestinal uptake pathways to help larger amounts be absorbed more efficiently.* Magnesium Glycinate Complex may be especially beneficial for individuals with plant-forward diets, low magnesium intake, or GI sensitivity to standard magnesium supplements.*
Magnesium Glycinate Complex is a premium magnesium supplement by Designs for Health that delivers 300 mg of magnesium per two-capsule serving. It uses a buffered chelate system combining magnesium bisglycinate chelate with magnesium oxide for nearly 4X greater absorption compared to magnesium oxide alone.** It supports muscle relaxation, energy production, and bone health.*

What This Product Is
Magnesium Glycinate Complex is a premium-quality magnesium supplement providing 300 mg per 2-capsule serving as TRAACS® Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate Buffered. This advanced formula combines a highly absorbable chelated form of magnesium with a buffered delivery system, combining magnesium bisglycinate chelate and magnesium oxide to help the body absorb more magnesium per serving without the stomach discomfort that some magnesium products can cause.
Compared to magnesium oxide alone, this buffered chelate system was shown to provide nearly 4X greater magnesium absorption, making it a smart choice for those who want real benefits from their magnesium supplement. Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 600 processes in the body, yet nearly half of U.S. adults do not get enough from food alone. This formula may be ideal for people who have higher magnesium needs due to stress or certain medications, or who have experienced occasional digestive discomfort with other magnesium supplements.
Mechanism of Action
Buffered Chelate System for Enhanced Absorption
The TRAACS® Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate Buffered system combines magnesium bisglycinate chelate with magnesium oxide, providing nearly 4X greater magnesium absorption compared to magnesium oxide alone. This dual-form approach maximizes the amount of magnesium that reaches the body while remaining gentle on the GI tract.
Bisglycinate Chelate for GI Tolerance
The chelated form of magnesium, where magnesium is bound to two glycine amino acid molecules, allows for efficient absorption while minimizing the loose stools and stomach upset commonly associated with magnesium supplementation, particularly at higher servings.
Cofactor for 600+ Biological Processes
300 mg of elemental magnesium per serving supports muscle relaxation, bone health, blood sugar metabolism, energy production, heart health and normal blood pressure, and balanced stress responses and sleep quality as a cofactor for over 600 processes throughout the body.*
Applications
- Individuals seeking enhanced magnesium absorption with the buffered chelate system
- Those who do not get enough magnesium from diet alone
- Individuals with higher magnesium needs due to stress or certain medications
- Those who have experienced digestive discomfort with other magnesium supplements
- Individuals wanting comprehensive support for muscles, bones, heart, blood sugar, energy, and sleep*
