Swanson Albion Magnesium Glycinate features Albion® TRAACS® (The Real Amino Acid Chelate System), a specialized patented form of magnesium. It works by chemically bonding magnesium to the amino acid Glycine. This "chelation" process mimics the way minerals are naturally found in food, allowing the magnesium to bypass common digestion barriers and be absorbed directly through the intestinal wall. Unlike cheaper forms like Magnesium Oxide, this glycinate form is highly bioavailable and significantly gentler on the digestive tract.
In Nigeria, Swanson Albion Magnesium Glycinate is a premier wellness choice for individuals managing stress, muscle cramps, or poor sleep. It is available through specialized nutritional retailers and pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy, ensuring you receive authentic, laboratory-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: Because it is chelated with glycine, this form is much less likely to cause the "laxative effect" (diarrhea) associated with other magnesium types. The "Relaxation" Note: Glycine itself is a calming amino acid, making this specific magnesium ideal for evening use to support the nervous system. 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.
Swanson Albion Magnesium Glycinate Capsules are primarily used to:
Support Relaxation and Stress Relief by modulating the nervous system
Improve Sleep Quality and help with occasional insomnia or "restless legs"
Relieve Muscle Cramps and Spasms, particularly after intense exercise
Support Bone Density by assisting in the transport of calcium across cell membranes
Enhance Cardiovascular Health and maintain healthy blood pressure levels
Support Metabolic Health and healthy insulin sensitivity
Provide a "Stomach-Friendly" option for those sensitive to standard mineral tablets
This product is suitable for:
Adults experiencing high levels of daily stress or mental fatigue
Athletes and active individuals prone to muscle tightness or cramping
Individuals looking for a highly absorbable mineral to support long-term heart and bone health
Not recommended for: Children under 18 unless specifically directed by a Pediatrician. It is strictly contraindicated for individuals with "Myasthenia Gravis" or severe heart block. Use with caution if you have 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; magnesium is essential during pregnancy, but the dose should be professionally managed.
For Adults: Take one (1) capsule three times daily with water, or as directed by your healthcare provider.
The "Evening" Tip: Many users find taking their largest dose (or all capsules) 30 to 60 minutes before bed provides the best results for sleep and muscle relaxation.
The "Meal" Tip: While this form is gentle, taking it with a meal can further enhance absorption and prevent any minor stomach sensitivity.
Swallow the capsule whole; do not open the capsule unless you are mixing it with a small amount of soft food (it may have a slightly bitter/salty taste).
Consistency is Vital: Mineral levels take time to stabilize; use daily for at least 4 weeks to assess the impact on your energy and sleep.
If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember, but skip it if it is almost time for your next dose—never "double up" to 400mg+.
Swanson Albion Magnesium is exceptionally well-tolerated, but because it influences the nervous and digestive systems, some may experience:
Mild drowsiness or a "heavy" feeling (this is why evening use is popular)
Very mild softening of the stools (much less common than with Oxide or Citrate)
A slight metallic taste in the mouth
Rare but serious: "Hypermagnesemia" (symptoms include low blood pressure 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 persistent diarrhea.

Why is "Albion" better than other brands?
Albion is the "Gold Standard" for mineral science. They use a special process to ensure the magnesium is truly "chelated" (locked) to the glycine. Cheap brands often just mix the two together, which doesn't provide the same high absorption.
Will this make me fail a drug test?
No. Magnesium is an essential dietary mineral found in green leafy vegetables and nuts. It is not a drug and is completely safe for professionals and athletes.
Can I take this with my "Blood Pressure" medicine?
Magnesium can naturally support healthy blood pressure, so it may actually help your medicine work better. However, you must speak with our pharmacist first to ensure your blood pressure doesn't drop too low.
