200 grams of magnesium bisglycinate powder — 100 mg of elemental magnesium per gram. Freely dosable at your own pace. Selected by Vitarium from the Natuurlijk.fit range.
What it contains
| Ingredient | Per gram of powder | %RI per gram |
|---|---|---|
| Magnesium (from magnesium bisglycinate) | 100 mg elemental | 27% |
Bisglycinate = magnesium bound to two glycine amino acids (a chelate). Because of the amino acid envelope, absorption is efficient and the form is not laxative — suitable for anyone who finds citrate forms too laxative, or who wants magnesium in the evening in a sleep context. A 200 g pack = approximately 50-65 doses at the standard level.
Excipients: none. No flavourings, colourings, fragrances or glazing agents.
What magnesium does
At a dose from approximately 1.5 g of powder a day (= 150 mg magnesium = 40% RI), the following EFSA-authorised health claims apply:
- Magnesium contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal muscle function
- Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function
- Magnesium contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism
- Magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- Magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth
- Magnesium contributes to normal protein synthesis and to electrolyte balance, and has a role in the process of cell division
Dosage
- Standard maintenance: 1-2 grams a day (= 100-200 mg magnesium)
- If the need is higher: up to 2.5 grams a day — above 250 mg of magnesium from supplements alone you are heading towards the EFSA UL; only under the supervision of an orthomolecular therapist or doctor
- Mix with water, or preferably in the evening in a calm drink (warm water, herbal tea)
- Build up gradually
Safety
- Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding without consultation
- With chronic kidney complaints: consult your doctor first
- At higher doses stools may become looser — build up calmly
- Do not exceed the recommended dose

Vitarium therapeutic editorial
Magnesium bisglycinate in powder form gives the user dosing flexibility that capsule formulas do not offer — handy if you want to start at a low dose without supervision and build it up slowly, or if you have to stay at a specific dose during a protocol. The non-laxative property makes this form suitable for the evening; if your bowel movement is sluggish at the same time, citrate (with its mildly laxative side effect) may be a more logical choice — see our article on magnesium forms. At higher doses (above 2 g/day = 200 mg magnesium) supervision remains advisable, particularly if you also use other mineral supplements.
This product is a food supplement. Do not exceed the recommended dose. A varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important; a food supplement is not a substitute for these. Keep out of reach of young children. Consult an expert in case of pregnancy, lactation, medication use or illness.
