Dave's note
Why I like it
My current default magnesium glycinate capsule option. It is clean, simple, well priced on a practitioner margin basis, and easy to explain: one active ingredient, 150 mg elemental magnesium, minimal excipients.
- It is the cleanest simple capsule option in the current shortlist: one mineral form, no multi-ingredient blend, and easy dose maths.
- Glycinate is the magnesium form I usually consider first when I want a gentler capsule option for nervous-system, sleep-quality, muscle-cramp, or general magnesium support discussions.
- At 150 mg elemental magnesium per capsule, it is easy to titrate without needing powders.
- The 180 capsule pack has strong practical value for clients who are likely to use magnesium consistently.
How I would use it
- A conservative starting point is 1 capsule in the evening, then adjust based on tolerance, goals, dietary magnesium intake, and total supplemental magnesium.
- For a more targeted magnesium protocol, 2 capsules/day gives 300 mg supplemental elemental magnesium, which sits in the range often used in magnesium supplementation studies.
- I would separate it from medications that bind minerals, including some antibiotics, thyroid medication, and bisphosphonates, unless a prescriber has advised otherwise.
- I would reassess if loose stools, nausea, kidney disease, pregnancy, complex medications, or high total magnesium intake are in the picture.
This is protocol logic, not a blanket client instruction. The dose should be individualised.

Summary
Product snapshot
Good default capsule when someone wants a simple magnesium glycinate product and prefers capsules over powder. Use dose and timing based on the actual goal rather than treating magnesium as a generic sleep supplement.
Check kidney disease, pregnancy, total magnesium intake, loose-stool tendency, and medication timing. Separate from medicines where mineral binding is clinically relevant.
