AOR AOR - Magnesium Glycinate 90 mg, 180 caps

AOR Magnesium Glycinate - Magnesium is a mineral that is involved in over 300 biochemical processes in the body. Unfortunately most people do not have sufficient levels for optimal health, muscle stiffness, chronic irritability and fatigue are common signs of deficiency. Glycine is well known as a calming amino acid, and is combined with magnesium in Magnesium Glycinate. This combination is easily absorbed and does not have a laxative effect like some forms of magnesium. Due to the calming and relaxing effect of both glycine and magnesium this combination has been used successfully for chronic pain and muscle tension, as well as to help improve sleep quality. AOR Magnesium Glycinate is ideal for quickly correcting magnesium deficiencies and is especially helpful for people with insomnia, anxiety, muscle tightness and chronic pain.

Why people keep reordering it

Highly absorbable forms: Chelated forms your body takes up, instead of oxide that mostly passes through.
Calm and recovery: Supports muscle relaxation, sleep quality and everyday stress resilience.
Gentle on digestion: Formulated to skip the laxative effect of cheaper magnesium.

Best suited to: frequent muscle cramps or restless legs at night, people who get diarrhea from other magnesium supplements, building toward a full sleep-support dose gradually.

What the research supports

Each capsule delivers 90 mg of elemental magnesium as glycinate. One to three capsules a day, and the 180-count bottle lasts two to six months.

Studies use 300 to 400 mg a day.

Muscle cramps (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews): Muscles need magnesium to let go after they contract, and low levels leave them tense and prone to cramping. Trials show fewer cramps with supplementation, especially in people who started out low.
Sleep (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews): Magnesium quiets nervous system activity that can keep you wired at night, and glycine has its own separate calming effect. Trials on each show better subjective sleep, though few test the glycinate combination specifically.
Digestive comfort (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews): Glycinate is bound to an amino acid rather than released as a free salt, so less sits unabsorbed in the gut drawing in water. Studies consistently show less bloating and looser stools with oxide or citrate than with chelated forms.

Is it right for you

Worth it if

Frequent muscle cramps or restless legs at night: Magnesium glycinate is well absorbed and glycine adds its own calming action on the nervous system, a combination commonly used for muscle tension.
People who get diarrhea from other magnesium supplements: The glycinate form is bound to an amino acid rather than existing as a salt like oxide or citrate, so it does not pull water into the gut the same way.
Building toward a full sleep-support dose gradually: The 90 mg per capsule format lets you titrate up to 180 or 270 mg without jumping straight to a large single dose.

Look elsewhere if

Someone who wants one capsule to hit a 300 to 400 mg therapeutic dose: Look for a magnesium glycinate product delivering 200 mg or more of elemental magnesium per capsule so fewer capsules get you into the studied range.
Needing magnesium mainly to relieve constipation: Magnesium oxide or citrate creates the laxative effect this product is specifically designed to avoid, so those forms would serve that goal better.
Watching capsule count and cost per dose: A higher-concentration elemental magnesium capsule would mean fewer pills and a lower per-day price at an equivalent dose.

What to expect

Some people notice looser muscles and easier sleep onset within a few days at two to three capsules, but magnesium status is a slow build and full effects on sleep quality or muscle tension are usually judged after two to four weeks of consistent use.

How it compares

Compared with magnesium oxide: Glycinate is far better absorbed and does not cause the loose stools that oxide is notorious for. The tradeoff: Oxide is cheaper per milligram of elemental magnesium and this product needs more capsules to match a similar elemental dose.
Compared with magnesium citrate: Glycinate is gentler on digestion and paired with glycine's calming action, making it a better fit for sleep or tension rather than bowel regularity. The tradeoff: Citrate typically delivers more elemental magnesium per capsule, so citrate reaches a therapeutic dose in fewer pills.
