Walgreens Magnesium Glycinate features magnesium that has been "chelated" with the amino acid Glycine. This molecular bond works by protecting the magnesium from reacting with other substances in the stomach, allowing it to be absorbed more effectively through the intestinal wall. Because Glycine is a calming amino acid, this specific form of magnesium is highly bioavailable and significantly gentler on the digestive system, making it the preferred choice for those who experience stomach sensitivity with standard magnesium salts.
In Nigeria, Walgreens Magnesium Glycinate is a premier wellness choice for individuals managing high-stress lifestyles, muscle tension, or poor sleep quality. It is available through specialized nutritional importers 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: Magnesium Glycinate is specifically formulated to avoid the "laxative effect" (diarrhea) common with Magnesium Oxide; it is the best option for those with sensitive guts. The "Calm" Note: This supplement is best known for its ability to support the nervous system and promote physical relaxation. The "Kidney" Warning: If you have severe kidney disease, you must consult our pharmacist before use, as your body may struggle to clear excess magnesium.
Walgreens Magnesium Glycinate Capsules are primarily used to:
Support Deep Relaxation and Stress Relief by calming the nervous system
Improve Sleep Quality and help the body "switch off" at night
Relieve Muscle Cramps and Spasms, particularly nocturnal leg cramps
Support Cardiovascular Health and maintain healthy blood pressure levels
Enhance Bone Density by assisting in the proper utilization of calcium
Reduce symptoms of PMS, including menstrual cramps and mood changes

This product is suitable for:
Adults experiencing high mental stress or physical "burnout"
Individuals who cannot tolerate standard magnesium due to digestive upset
Athletes looking to improve muscle recovery and reduce post-training tension
Anyone seeking a high-quality, easy-to-swallow capsule for better sleep
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 daily intake should 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 ensure the chelated powder is properly released in the stomach.
Consistency is Vital: For chronic stress or sleep challenges, use daily for at least 4 to 6 weeks to allow your body’s mineral levels to stabilize.
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.
Walgreens 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 or Citrate)
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 or swelling.

Will this make me feel "groggy" the next morning?
No. Magnesium Glycinate supports natural relaxation and deeper sleep cycles. It does not have the "hangover" effect or morning grogginess associated with chemical sleeping pills.
Can I take this if I have "High Blood Pressure"?
Magnesium supports healthy blood vessel relaxation, which is beneficial for heart health. However, you should still take your prescribed medications and talk to our pharmacist before using this as an add-on.
Why is "Glycinate" better than "Oxide"?
Magnesium Oxide is very poorly absorbed (only about 4%) and often causes diarrhea. Magnesium Glycinate is absorbed at a much higher rate and is very gentle on the stomach.
