Nutricost Magnesium Glycinate features magnesium chemically bonded to the amino acid Glycine. This "chelated" form works by mimicking the way minerals are naturally absorbed from whole foods, allowing the magnesium to pass through the intestinal wall more efficiently than standard mineral salts. Because it is highly bioavailable and stays "locked" to the amino acid during digestion, it is significantly gentler on the stomach and much less likely to cause the laxative effect associated with Magnesium Oxide or Citrate.
In Nigeria, Nutricost Magnesium Glycinate is a premier wellness choice for individuals managing chronic stress, muscle tension, or poor sleep quality. It is available through specialized nutritional retailers and pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy, ensuring you receive authentic, third-party tested supplements stored in climate-controlled environments to protect the mineral chelates from the local heat and humidity.
Important: This is a high-absorption mineral supplement. The "Bowel" Rule: Magnesium Glycinate is the preferred form for those with sensitive stomachs; it rarely causes diarrhea even at higher doses. The "Calm" Note: Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation, making this specific magnesium ideal for evening use. The "Kidney" Warning: If you have severe kidney disease, your body may struggle to clear excess magnesium; consult our pharmacist before use. Do not exceed the recommended daily allowance (RDA) without medical supervision.
Nutricost Magnesium Glycinate Capsules are primarily used to:

This product is suitable for:

Athletes looking to improve muscle recovery and nervous system "reset" after training
Those seeking a vegetarian-friendly, Non-GMO mineral supplement
Not recommended for: Children under 18 unless specifically directed by a Pediatrician. It is strictly contraindicated for individuals with "Myasthenia Gravis" or high-grade heart block. Use with caution in patients with moderate renal impairment. Consult our pharmacist if you are taking antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin or Doxycycline, as magnesium can block their absorption. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant; while magnesium is vital for prenatal health, the total dose must be professionally managed.
For Adults: Take one (1) to two (2) capsules daily, preferably with a meal.
The "Evening" Tip: Taking your dose 30 to 60 minutes before bed provides the best results for muscle relaxation and restorative sleep.
The "Water" Tip: Swallow each capsule with a full glass of water to assist in the rapid release of the chelated powder.
Consistency is Vital: Mineral levels take time to normalize in the body; use daily for at least 4 to 6 weeks to assess the impact on your mood and sleep.
If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember that day, but skip it if it is the next day—never "double up" to 4 capsules.
Nutricost Magnesium Glycinate is exceptionally well-tolerated, but because it influences the nervous and digestive systems, some may experience:
Mild drowsiness or a feeling of deep relaxation (this is why evening use is popular)
A slight metallic taste in the mouth
Very rare: Mild softening of the stools (much less common than with Oxide)
Rare but serious: "Hypermagnesemia" (symptoms include extreme thirst or confusion)
Rare: A mild skin rash in sensitive individuals
Seek medical advice if you experience extreme muscle weakness, a very slow heart rate, or signs of an allergic reaction like hives.

Will this make me feel "drugged" or groggy in the morning?
No. Magnesium Glycinate supports natural relaxation. It helps you fall asleep more easily, but it does not have the "hangover" effect associated with pharmaceutical sleeping pills.
Can I take this if I am already taking a Multivitamin?
Yes, but check how much magnesium is in your multivitamin. Most multivitamins contain very little magnesium (or use the poorly absorbed Oxide form), so adding a Glycinate supplement is usually beneficial.
Is it safe for "High Blood Pressure"?
Magnesium supports healthy blood vessel relaxation, which is good for your heart. However, it is a supplement and should not replace your prescribed heart medications.
