Natural Factors Magnesium Bisglycinate Pure - Magnesium is an essential nutrient needed as an enzyme cofactor in more than 300 metabolic reactions to help support healthy bones, teeth, muscles, and nerves. We also need magnesium to metabolize nutrients and to produce the body’s main form of energy, adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Diets high in processed foods often lack magnesium, but depletion is possible even on a healthy diet. This is caused by decreased levels of magnesium in soil, excess dietary calcium, and medications affecting absorption and elimination of magnesium. In addition, low stomach acid compromises the absorption of common forms of magnesium. Fortunately, magnesium bisglycinate does not require stomach acid for absorption, is easy on the stomach, and does not cause diarrhea. Magnesium Bisglycinate from Natural Factors is a one serving per day, non-GMO magnesium powder suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

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: you get muscle cramps at night, you want to buy once and forget it, cheap magnesium has upset your stomach before.

What the research supports

One capsule gives you 200 mg of magnesium, and the bottle lasts about eight months.

Studies use 200 to 400 mg a day.

Energy (evidence: strong, from established biochemistry): Your cells cannot pull energy out of food without magnesium. Run low and you can eat well and still feel flat.
Muscle cramps (evidence: moderate, from randomized controlled trial): Muscles need magnesium to relax after they contract. Without enough, they stay tense and twitch.
Sleep (evidence: mixed, from randomized controlled trial): It quiets the nervous system, which is why people take it at night. Trials are split, and it works best if you were low to start with.

Is it right for you

Worth it if

You get muscle cramps at night: This is the most reliable thing magnesium does, and two capsules puts you in the range the trials used.
You want to buy once and forget it: 250 capsules is eight months at one a day, which is rare at this dose.
Cheap magnesium has upset your stomach before: Most of this is the gentler form, so it is easier to tolerate than a plain tablet.

Look elsewhere if

You want magnesium to keep you regular: The cheap forms do that better. This one is built to be absorbed rather than to pass through.
You have a sensitive gut and want zero risk: A pure bisglycinate is gentler. You get less magnesium per capsule, so you take two.

What to expect

There is nothing to feel the first night. Magnesium works by refilling a store that took a long time to run down, so give it two to three weeks of daily use before judging it. If you were low to begin with, cramps and muscle twitching are the first things to ease. Sleep is the less reliable one, and plenty of people notice no change there at all.

How it compares

Compared with A cheap magnesium tablet from the pharmacy: You absorb more of this and it is less likely to send you to the bathroom. The tradeoff: It costs more per capsule.
Compared with A pure bisglycinate at the same 200 mg: That one is gentler still, with none of the cheap form mixed in. The tradeoff: It takes two or three capsules to get here, so the bottle runs out sooner.
