Thorne Research Magnesium Bisglycinate Powder

Thorne Research Magnesium Bisglycinate Powder

Magnesium is one of those minerals most of us run a little short on. It takes part in hundreds of normal processes in the body, from how muscles contract and relax to how we wind down at the end of the day. Thorne Research Magnesium Bisglycinate Powder gives you that mineral in a form your body absorbs well, mixed into water as a simple nightly routine. It carries the NSF Certified for Sport® mark, which matters if you compete or just like knowing exactly what is in the tub.

Why the bisglycinate form?

Not all magnesium is the same. Here magnesium is bound to glycine, an amino acid, which is what "bisglycinate" means. That chelated form tends to be gentler on the stomach than cheaper magnesium salts, and it absorbs well. The trade-off is honest: a bisglycinate powder costs more than a basic oxide tablet. People who have found other magnesium forms hard to tolerate often reach for this one for that reason.*

How it supports sleep and recovery

Magnesium helps the body shift into a calmer state, which is part of why people take it in the evening to support restful sleep.* It also plays a role in normal muscle function, so it is a common choice after a hard workout or a long day on your feet to support muscle relaxation.* Because it dissolves in water, you can adjust how much you mix and sip it slowly rather than swallowing a large capsule.

Who it tends to suit

• Athletes and active people who want an NSF Certified for Sport® magnesium*
• Anyone looking to support a steady evening wind-down and restful sleep*
• People who prefer a flavorless powder over pills, sweetened only with a touch of monk fruit

It is dairy-free, gluten-free, and soy-free. One honest caveat: magnesium affects everyone a little differently, so it is worth starting with a smaller amount and seeing how you respond before working up to a full scoop.
