How to take it
Take as directed on the pack, with water. Most people take magnesium glycinate in the evening, an hour or so before bed — that is convention rather than a rule, and consistency matters more than timing. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If your total daily magnesium from all sources exceeds 400mg, be aware that higher intakes may cause mild stomach upset in some people.

Under UK law we may only state nutrition and health claims that appear on the Great Britain Nutrition and Health Claims Register, and those claims belong to the specific nutrient rather than to the product as a whole. Where no authorised claim exists we say so, rather than implying something we are not permitted to state.
In detail
Why glycinate rather than oxide or citrate
Magnesium never appears on its own in a supplement — it is always bound to something, and that partner molecule decides how the mineral behaves. Magnesium oxide is cheap and contains a lot of magnesium by weight, but a large share of it passes straight through. Citrate absorbs better and has a mild laxative effect that some people want and others emphatically do not. Glycinate binds magnesium to glycine, a small amino acid, which makes it gentle on the stomach and is why it has become the default evening form.
Why magnesium matters in the UK specifically
Magnesium is the single most-searched supplement ingredient in Britain — Holland & Barrett recorded 8.5 million searches for it in a year. It is also one of the few ingredients in our range with a long list of authorised nutrition claims, which are set out above, because the evidence base is well established rather than traditional.

Questions people ask
When should I take magnesium glycinate?
Most people take it in the evening because glycinate is the gentlest common form and sits comfortably late in the day. There is no rule about it. Taking it at the same time each day matters far more than which hour you choose.
Can I take it with food?
Yes. Some people find any magnesium easier with food. Follow the daily portion on the pack either way.
How is this different from magnesium citrate?
Citrate absorbs well but has a mild laxative effect. Glycinate is bound to glycine, which most people find gentler on the digestion. Neither is better in the abstract — it depends on how your stomach responds.
Is 2000mg a lot?
That figure is the weight of the magnesium glycinate compound, not the elemental magnesium in it. The elemental amount is much lower and is printed on the pack. Always read the pack rather than the front-of-label number.
