Lamberts Gentle Magnesium Bisglycinate 60 Capsules is a food supplement providing 150mg of magnesium per capsule, in the form of magnesium bisglycinate. Magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, the normal functioning of the nervous system and normal muscle function, and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Lamberts describes bisglycinate as often considered gentler on the digestive system than some other supplemental forms, and the dose can be spread across the day.

Key Features

• Magnesium bisglycinate: Magnesium is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine, which Lamberts describes as making it better absorbed than many inorganic forms of magnesium.
• 150mg of magnesium per capsule: Adults take 1 to 2 capsules daily, giving 150mg to 300mg of magnesium a day.
• Flexible dose: The dose can be split through the day, which Lamberts suggests may help people who are sensitive to magnesium.
• Suitable for vegetarians and vegans: The capsule shell is made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and the product is free from gluten, wheat, soya, milk, eggs and nuts.
• Often used in a night-time routine: Lamberts notes that many people recommend it as part of an evening routine.

How is magnesium bisglycinate different from other forms of magnesium?

Magnesium bisglycinate is an amino acid chelate, meaning the magnesium is bound to two glycine molecules. Lamberts says this makes it better absorbed than many inorganic magnesium compounds and often considered gentler on the digestive system than some other supplemental forms.

How long does a pot of 60 capsules last?

At 1 capsule a day the pot lasts 60 days, and at 2 capsules a day it lasts 30 days.

Can I take it with other magnesium supplements?
