Description
Magnesium Glycinate 500mg — Muscle, Sleep, Anxiety & PMS Support
Mag Plus delivers 500mg of Magnesium Glycinate per capsule — a highly bioavailable, gentle form of magnesium chelated with glycine, a calming amino acid. Magnesium is involved in over 300 processes in the body, including muscle contraction, nerve signalling, and hormone metabolism, yet it’s one of the most common nutrient shortfalls in modern diets. Mag Plus is formulated for people dealing with muscle spasms, disrupted sleep, migraines, anxiety, or premenstrual symptoms who want a well-absorbed, non-laxative form of magnesium.
Halaal certified. Made in South Africa. 30 gelatin-free veggie capsules.

Key Benefits
- Muscle relaxation & spasm relief — magnesium is essential for normal muscle contraction and relaxation; low levels are linked to cramps, twitches and tightness
- Sleep support — magnesium helps regulate neurotransmitters involved in the sleep-wake cycle; research shows modest improvements in sleep quality, particularly in people with low magnesium levels
- Stress & anxiety support — magnesium supports GABA activity and the nervous system’s stress response; a systematic review of clinical trials found supplementation may reduce subjective anxiety, especially in high-stress individuals
- Migraine support — magnesium plays a role in nerve signalling and blood vessel regulation, both implicated in migraine and headache mechanisms; magnesium is one of the more commonly studied nutrients for migraine frequency
- Premenstrual symptom relief — clinical research shows magnesium can reduce PMS symptoms including bloating, mood changes, and cramping, with effects most consistent after 2 full menstrual cycles of daily use
- Gentle on digestion — unlike magnesium oxide or citrate, the glycinate form is absorbed efficiently without the loose-stool effect common at higher doses
Why glycinate specifically
Magnesium bound to glycine passes through the intestinal wall more efficiently than cheaper forms like magnesium oxide, meaning more of what you take is actually absorbed and used. The glycine component adds its own mild calming effect on the nervous system, which is why glycinate is the form most often recommended for sleep and stress support specifically, rather than general magnesium forms.
How to use
Take 1 to 2 capsules daily, or as directed by your medical practitioner — ideally in the evening if using for sleep or muscle relaxation support. Most people notice changes within 2–4 weeks of consistent daily use; for premenstrual symptom support specifically, research suggests benefits become more consistent after 2 full menstrual cycles of daily use. If you’re on chronic medication, separate magnesium doses by 2–4 hours where possible, as magnesium can bind to some medications in the gut.
Who it’s for
Adults dealing with muscle spasms, occasional migraines, stress, sleep difficulty, or premenstrual symptoms who want a well-tolerated magnesium supplement. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. If pregnant, breastfeeding, or on chronic medication, consult your healthcare provider before use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does magnesium glycinate do?
Magnesium glycinate is magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine, which improves absorption and reduces digestive side effects compared to other magnesium forms. It supports muscle relaxation, nerve function, sleep quality, and the body’s stress response.
How is magnesium glycinate different from magnesium citrate or oxide?
Magnesium oxide is cheap but poorly absorbed. Magnesium citrate absorbs reasonably well but is more likely to cause loose stools at effective doses. Magnesium glycinate offers strong absorption with minimal digestive impact, making it better suited to daily, ongoing use.
How long before I notice a difference?
Most people report changes in sleep quality, muscle tension, or stress levels within 2–4 weeks of consistent daily use. Magnesium works cumulatively as levels are restored, not as an instant fix.
Can Mag Plus help with PMS symptoms?
Clinical research supports magnesium for premenstrual symptoms including bloating, mood changes, and cramping, particularly when combined with adequate B-vitamin intake. Benefits tend to become more consistent after 2 full menstrual cycles of daily use rather than immediately.
Can I take Mag Plus every night for sleep?
Yes, magnesium glycinate is commonly taken in the evening as part of a nightly routine, and is well tolerated for ongoing daily use in adults.
How many capsules should I take?
The standard daily dosage is 1 to 2 capsules daily, or as directed by your medical practitioner.
Is Mag Plus suitable for vegetarians?
Yes. The capsules are gelatin-free veggie capsules.
Is Mag Plus Halaal certified?
Yes, Mag Plus is Halaal certified.
