It is generally safe to take both Magnesium Glycinate and Magnesium L-Threonate. You might take both forms of magnesium to support general wellness for both mind and body.†

You want to improve sleep from multiple angles

• Glycinate helps the body relax and unwind before bed, supporting a natural relaxation process.†
• L-Threonate may support sleep quality by promoting balanced brain function†

You have both muscle tension and mental fatigue

• Glycinate may help support muscle relaxation, promoting general comfort and stress relief.†
• L-Threonate may promote mental clarity and emotional balance†

You want full-body and brain support

• Glycinate helps restore overall magnesium levels throughout the body†
• L-Threonate helps increase magnesium concentration in the brain†

When taking both forms of magnesium, you might take Cognitive Health in the morning or afternoon, and then take Magnesium Glycinate in the evening or at bedtime.

Magnesium deficiency can be influenced by factors like dairy foods, caffeine, excessive protein intake, fluoride, alcohol, trans fats, and foods high in sugar†.

No, but coffee blocks the absorption of magnesium while still in the gut†.  Coffee does not affect magnesium already in the body. Heavy doses of coffee, especially when consumed at the same time as magnesium, may lead to reduced magnesium absorption.

Although magnesium will not directly cause weight loss, normal levels of magnesium may help support overall well-being by promoting healthy inflammation levels and gut health†. These factors can influence weight management.  Taking magnesium alone has not been shown to be effective in weight loss.

Magnesium itself does not make you sleepy, but it may help relax the muscles which can support relaxation and promote sleep†.

Too much magnesium may cause nausea, constipation, headaches, leg cramps at night, tingling in the legs or hands, tremors,  and heart palpitations. If you experience any of these symptoms, consult your healthcare provider.

Magnesium deficiency may cause symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and weakness†. If you experience these symptoms, consult your healthcare provider.

People with heart or kidney disease, diabetes, and intestinal diseases should speak to their doctor before taking magnesium.  Kidney disease can lead to a buildup of magnesium to dangerous levels, making it more difficult to clear from the body.  If you are taking heart medications, diuretics, or antibiotics, you should take magnesium only under your doctors’ supervision.

Magnesium deficiency may cause symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, an irregular heartbeat, and overall weakness†, among others. Please see your doctor if you feel you may be suffering from a magnesium deficiency.

For the majority of healthy adults, taking magnesium every day is not a problem when staying within the recommended limits†. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for magnesium is around 400–420 mg for adult men and 310–320 mg for adult women. However, the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for supplemental magnesium is 350 mg per day. Magnesium comes in several different forms, i.e., glycinate, oxide, citrate- each with different absorption and digestive effects. Try taking magnesium in small doses and gradually increase it so you don’t suffer from an upset digestive system.  Magnesium hydroxide, also referred to as Milk of Magnesia, are specifically used to relieve constipation and should be used as directed.

The capsules are filled by weight to meet the claim on the label. As a natural ingredient, the density of the powder may vary, causing some capsules to seem less than full. Like all Cooper Complete products, Magnesium Glycinate is tested to ensure it meets the ingredient level specified on the label.

This dietary supplement is a large capsule. If the size is too large, you may put the contents from the capsule into applesauce or yogurt, and it will not impact its effectiveness.

The primary difference between magnesium glycinate and magnesium oxide lies in their absorption and how they affect the digestive system.

Magnesium glycinate is a chelated form of magnesium, known for its gentle effect on the stomach and higher bioavailability. It’s often preferred by individuals who are sensitive to digestive upset.

Magnesium oxide, on the other hand, contains a higher percentage of elemental magnesium by weight but is less bioavailable. It may have a laxative effect in some individuals, especially at higher doses.

Calcium and magnesium have a complicated relationship. Magnesium is essential for the absorption and metabolism of calcium inside the body. It’s important to keep these two minerals in balance. Too much calcium and/or too little magnesium can have negative health effects. It is important to speak with your physician before taking supplements to understand your specific needs.

The National Institutes of Health lists older adults and people with gastrointestinal diseases, type 2 diabetes, and alcoholics as top groups at risk of magnesium deficiency.

Symptoms of magnesium deficiency can include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue, and weakness. As magnesium deficiency worsens, numbness, tingling, muscle contractions, cramps, seizures, and abnormal heart rhythms can occur.

Magnesium Glycinate is often taken with your evening meal to support absorption and consistency.† Taking it in the evening can also help support relaxation and a calm nervous system as part of your nightly routine.† Magnesium supplements may interact with certain prescription medications, such as osteoporosis treatments and some antibiotics.† To reduce the chance of interference, take magnesium at least 2 hours before or 4–6 hours after these medications, and consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for magnesium varies by age and gender. Adult women need 310-360 mg per day, while adult men need 400-420 mg. It is important to speak with your physician before taking supplements to understand your specific needs.

Green leafy vegetables, nuts, beans, and whole grains are good sources of magnesium, as are coffee, tea, and chocolate. Although magnesium is found in many common foods, US dietary surveys such as the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) consistently show magnesium intake lower than recommended amounts.

A common complaint about magnesium is the laxative qualities of magnesium. Magnesium Glycinate has minimal, if any, laxative effect.

Magnesium Glycinate is the magnesium salt of glycine, also known as magnesium diglycinate or magnesium bisglycinate. It benefits sleep health, heart health, energy production, and bone health. Magnesium Glycinate is one of the easier forms of magnesium supplements for the stomach to digest.
