The workhorse of magnesium supplements. Glycinate form is well-absorbed, gentle on the stomach, and NOW delivers it at an unbeatable price. No glamour, just function.
NOW Magnesium Glycinate scores exceptionally on value -- at $0.25/serving, it delivers a well-absorbed form at a meaningful dose. No hype penalty because NOW does not engage in influencer marketing or overclaim. The formulation is straightforward and effective. Lower transparency score reflects NOW's standard supplement labeling without extensive third-party verification publishing.
Magnesium glycinate is one of the best-absorbed forms of magnesium with minimal GI side effects. The glycine chelate enhances absorption and the amino acid itself has calming properties. Research supports magnesium glycinate for addressing deficiency, sleep quality, and muscle relaxation. NOW Foods provides 200mg elemental magnesium per serving, which represents a meaningful contribution to the 400mg daily target.
| Ingredient | Dose | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Magnesium (from Magnesium Bisglycinate) | 200mg elemental | Optimal |
200mg per serving means you may need to double up to address significant deficiency. NOW does not publish third-party test results as prominently as premium brands. Tablets are large. Not specifically targeted at cognitive benefits like Magtein.
