Magnesium Glycinate FAQ & Buying Guide
Is magnesium glycinate the same as magnesium bisglycinate?
Yes. Bisglycinate describes magnesium bound to two glycine molecules, and brands use both names for this chelated form. CanPrev labels it bis-glycinate; Purica and Organika use bisglycinate.
How much magnesium is in a serving?
Look at elemental magnesium, not the weight of the whole compound. CanPrev Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 200 Gentle and Organika Magnesium Bisglycinate list 200 mg per capsule, and CanPrev 400 Ultra Gentle Powder lists 400 mg on its panel.
Capsules or powder?
Capsules give a fixed amount each time. Powders such as Purica Magnesium Bisglycinate and CanPrev 400 Ultra Gentle mix into water, and CanPrev's label allows a half or full 5 g scoop, so you can adjust within the directions.
When should I take magnesium glycinate?
The labels here give a once-daily serving without a set time: one capsule a day for CanPrev 200 Gentle and Organika, one teaspoon once a day for Purica's powder. Choose a time that's easy to stick to.
Are these products licensed by Health Canada?
Yes. Every magnesium glycinate product in this collection, from CanPrev, Purica and Organika, is a licensed natural health product with an eight-digit NPN on the label.
Does Fuel Supplements ship magnesium glycinate across Canada?
Yes — we ship Canada-wide from our BC warehouses, with free standard shipping on orders over $100. You can also shop in person at our BC stores.
