Magnesium Bisglycinate
The Absorbable Mineral · Chelated Magnesium Bisglycinate · 200mg · 60 Capsules
- 79% of US adults fall short of the magnesium RDA*⁷
- Highly absorbable form — not the cheap oxide*⁵
- Helps correct a dietary shortfall, gently*⁷
- Third-party tested, zero fillers
Magnesium runs more than 300 jobs in your body, but most people don’t get enough — about 79% of US adults fall short of the recommended intake from food alone.*⁷
Modern diets, depleted soils, and everyday drains like stress, caffeine and alcohol make it worse. The fix isn’t exotic: refill the gap with a form your body can actually absorb.
NHANES data show 79% of US adults don’t meet the magnesium RDA (310–420mg a day) from diet.*⁷ A standard serum test often misses a shortfall, because only about 1% of the body’s magnesium circulates in blood — most is held in bone and soft tissue.*⁷
Absorption is the lever that matters: systematic reviews find organic, chelated forms like bisglycinate are better absorbed than cheap inorganic oxide.*⁵ Magnesium acts as a cofactor in 300+ enzymatic processes — energy metabolism, muscle and nerve function, neurotransmitter regulation — which is why a shortfall shows up as such vague, wide-ranging symptoms.
Take 2 capsules with water, morning or evening — whichever you’ll remember. Topping up magnesium is a marathon, not a sprint: consistency over 2–4 weeks lets your levels rebuild what modern diets, stress, caffeine and alcohol quietly drain. Because it’s a chelated, highly absorbable form, more of each dose actually reaches you instead of running straight through.*⁵

Cheap magnesium oxide: The bargain-bin form — poorly absorbed, runs straight through you
Magnesium oxide is the cheap, inorganic form found in most drugstore tablets. Systematic reviews find inorganic forms are less bioavailable than organic ones, and oxide is notorious for causing osmotic diarrhea — so much of it passes through without ever raising your levels.*⁵
hale. Chelated bisglycinate — highly absorbable, gentle on your gut
Chelated magnesium bisglycinate is an organic form absorbed through amino acid transport pathways in the small intestine, rather than the blocked mineral channels that limit cheap oxide.*⁵ That means it helps replenish what your diet is missing without the laxative effect — and the glycine it’s bound to is a calming amino acid in its own right.
Magnesium Glycinate
Most magnesium barely absorbs, and upsets your stomach.
Bisglycinate is chelated, so it actually gets in, gently.

Most people are quietly running low.
Magnesium is the mineral most of us don’t get enough of: the average diet falls short, and stress, caffeine and alcohol drain what you do get.*⁷ So for most people, hale. isn’t adding something exotic — it’s refilling a mineral your body was already short on. That’s often why the change comes faster than people expect.
Here’s what customers tell us happens, once the level rebuilds:
And there’s no risk in finding out: take it for 90 days, and if you’re not feeling the difference, we refund every cent.
I had no idea how low I was
I genuinely had no idea how low I was running. Twitchy muscles at night, headaches creeping in by the afternoon, that wired-but-tired thing where you’re exhausted but can’t switch off. I take two capsules in the evening and a few weeks in, it all just... eased off. Turns out I’d been short on something basic this whole time.
my doctor said most people are low
My doctor mentioned in passing that most people don’t get enough magnesium from food, and suggested I try the glycinate form. Within a week the eye twitch I’d had for months stopped. By week two the constant low-level cramping in my calves had eased. I didn’t realise how much of this was just a diet shortfall I’d never thought to fix.
the best magnesium I’ve tried
I’ve been through citrate, oxide, the gummies — this is the only one that’s gentle on my stomach and that I actually feel. I came for better sleep but I’ve noticed less tension overall too.
does a bit of everything
Started it for muscle cramps after training, but the surprise was sleeping better and feeling less wound up at work. Two capsules, no fuss.
finally one that’s gentle
Every other magnesium sent me running to the bathroom. This one doesn’t — and I’ve taken it long enough now to notice steadier energy and calmer evenings.
Maybe I wasn’t that low, but great product
Gave it 8 weeks and honestly didn’t notice a huge change — I eat pretty well and I suspect I wasn’t that deficient to begin with, which the company is upfront about. No stomach issues at all though, which was a nice change from the oxide I’d tried before. And when I reached out about the guarantee, they refunded me within a week. No hassle. Would still recommend trying it if you suspect you’re low.
ran out and the symptoms came creeping back
Didn’t realise how much this was doing until I ran out and didn’t reorder for a week. By day 4 the eye twitch was back, the headaches, the restless legs at night. Clearly my levels just slide straight back down when I stop topping up. Ordered more immediately and put it on auto-ship. Won’t let it run out again.

Add to CartMagnesium Deficiency, Answered
More common than most people realise. NHANES data show 79% of US adults don’t meet their Recommended Dietary Allowance for magnesium (310–420mg/day) from diet alone.*⁷ Modern processed diets, depleted soils, and everyday drains like stress, caffeine and alcohol all chip away at your stores. hale. simply helps top up the difference with an essential mineral your body needs daily.
A magnesium shortfall can show up in everyday ways: poor sleep, muscle twitches or cramps, headaches, low energy, and feeling irritable or wired-but-tired. None of these prove deficiency on their own — plenty of things cause them — but if several sound familiar and your diet is on the lighter side for magnesium, topping up is a low-risk place to start. hale. doesn’t diagnose anything; it simply helps correct a dietary shortfall.
You can in theory, and it’s always worth eating magnesium-rich foods like leafy greens, nuts, seeds and whole grains. In practice, though, modern diets and depleted soils mean many people still fall short — which is why 79% of US adults don’t hit the RDA from diet alone.*⁷ A daily supplement is an easy way to close that gap.
Not reliably. Only about 1% of your body’s magnesium is in the blood, so a standard serum test can read normal even when your overall stores are low.*⁷ That’s one reason a dietary shortfall so often goes unnoticed. If you’re concerned, talk to your doctor — but for most people, simply meeting the recommended intake is a sensible baseline.
A few everyday things. Processed and refined foods contain far less magnesium than whole foods, soils have become depleted over decades, and stress, heavy caffeine and alcohol all increase how much you lose.*⁷ Add it up and it’s easy to slip below the 310–420mg/day RDA without ever noticing. Topping up daily keeps your levels from sliding back down.
Topping up magnesium is a marathon, not a sprint. Most people give it 2–4 weeks of consistent daily use to let their levels rebuild, and many notice everyday symptoms easing over that window. Because it’s correcting a shortfall rather than acting like a drug, consistency matters far more than any single dose.
Magnesium oxide is the cheap, inorganic form in most drugstore tablets. Systematic reviews find inorganic forms are less bioavailable than organic ones, and oxide is well known for causing osmotic diarrhea — so a lot of it runs straight through you without ever raising your levels.*⁵ Bisglycinate is an organic, chelated form absorbed through amino acid pathways, so more of each dose actually counts toward correcting a shortfall.
Yes. “Magnesium bisglycinate” and “magnesium bisglycinate” refer to the same chelated form — magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. It’s the form most often recommended for people who want to raise their magnesium without the stomach upset that comes with oxide or citrate.
Glycinate is magnesium bound to glycine, a calming amino acid. So as well as helping replenish your magnesium, you’re getting glycine — a building block your body uses for its own purposes. Cheaper forms like oxide bind magnesium to oxygen, which offers no extra benefit. Organic forms like glycinate are also better absorbed*⁵ and the gentlest on your stomach.
2 capsules daily, taken at the same time each day. Each serving provides 200mg of elemental magnesium — a solid daily contribution toward the 310–420mg RDA, alongside the magnesium you get from food.*⁷ Consistency is key: daily use over weeks is what rebuilds your levels.
Either works for topping up your levels. Some people prefer the morning as part of their routine; others take it in the evening, since magnesium is involved in sleep and muscle function. Pick whichever time you’ll remember consistently — that matters more than the specific time of day.
Yes. Chelated bisglycinate is gentle on the stomach with or without food. Some people prefer taking it with a light meal as part of their daily routine.
Yes — magnesium is an essential mineral your body needs daily, and our 200mg serving sits comfortably below the upper intake guidance for supplemental magnesium. If you take prescription medications — especially antibiotics, blood pressure meds, or diuretics — check with your healthcare provider first, as magnesium can affect the absorption of certain drugs.
Magnesium is an essential mineral during pregnancy, and many pregnant women are deficient. However, we always recommend consulting your OB/GYN or midwife before starting any supplement during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Magnesium bisglycinate pairs well with most supplements, including vitamin D, zinc, and omega-3s. In fact, magnesium is a cofactor your body needs to activate vitamin D, so the two work together. Take it 2 hours apart from calcium or iron supplements, as they can compete for absorption.
Free standard shipping on all US orders. Orders ship within 1–2 business days and typically arrive in 3–5 business days. Expedited shipping is available at checkout.
We offer a 90-day money-back guarantee. If you don’t feel a difference within 90 days, contact us for a full refund — no questions asked. We’re that confident in what replenishing a shortfall can do.
