Ingredients explained
Magnesium (from Magnesium Bisglycinate)
Magnesium functions as a cofactor for hundreds of enzymes involved in energy production, nerve signaling, muscle relaxation and contraction, and bone mineral balance.
Caution: High intakes may cause loose stools, and magnesium can interact with certain antibiotics and other medications because it may affect absorption or action.
Piperine (from Black Pepper Fruit Extract, BioPerine)
Piperine may enhance intestinal absorption of some nutrients by influencing digestive transporters and enzyme activity.
Caution: Piperine can affect how the body metabolizes some drugs and nutrients, which may change their effects.
How they work together
Magnesium bisglycinate provides bioavailable magnesium for neuromuscular and metabolic functions, while piperine may improve intestinal absorption. Together they aim to optimize magnesium uptake and usefulness from each serving.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Large doses of oral magnesium may have a laxative effect. Magnesium may interact with some antibiotics, diuretics, bisphosphonates, and muscle relaxants. Many medications can affect magnesium absorption and excretion. If you are taking prescription medications, consult your healthcare practitioner before use.
Who should be cautious: People taking antibiotics, diuretics, bisphosphonates, or muscle relaxants should be cautious. Those with sensitive digestion may experience loose stools at higher intakes. If you use prescription medications, discuss use with a healthcare provider before starting.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place after opening.

Overview
- Supports Healthy Muscle, Nerve & Heart Functions
- With BioPerine®
- Non-GMO
- A Dietary Supplement
- Vegetarian/Vegan
How It Works: Magnesium glycinate utilizes magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine, which facilitates intestinal absorption. Magnesium is a mineral that is critical for energy production and metabolism, muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and bone mineralization. It is a required cofactor for an estimated 300 enzymes.
Among the processes that require magnesium are fat and protein production, as well as glucose metabolism. Magnesium status is also important for regulation of calcium balance through its effects on the parathyroid gland. This product is enhanced with BioPerine®, a proprietary black pepper extract.
