DETAILS

Thorne Magnesium Glycinate provides an essential mineral – magnesium – to support everything from muscle function to sleep quality. In fact, magnesium is crucial for the whole body to function properly because magnesium is involved in more than 600 of the body's enzymatic reactions.*

But according to World Health Organization statistics, as many as 75% of U.S. adults do not meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's recommended daily intake of 420 mg of magnesium. Magnesium deficiency can manifest in many ways, such as inefficient blood sugar metabolism, muscle cramps or soreness, eyelid twitching, fatigue, and poor sleep.*

What Does The Evidence Say?

EVIDENCE RATING: STRONG

Evidence is strong for correcting inadequate magnesium intake; low-to-moderate for selected clinical uses and insufficient for generalized sleep, stress or recovery claims from this exact product.

WHAT THE RESEARCH SHOWS

Magnesium is essential for neuromuscular and enzyme function.
The U.S. supplemental upper intake limit is driven mainly by diarrhea and digestive toxicity; serious accumulation occurs with kidney impairment.
Glycinate superiority is not established across all claimed outcomes.

LIMITATIONS

Findings from an ingredient or another formulation do not establish the same benefits from this finished product.

What Are The Side Effects?

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS

Loose stool, cramps or nausea may occur. Excess accumulation can cause weakness, low blood pressure, slowed breathing or abnormal heart rhythm, especially with kidney impairment.

PRECAUTIONS

Follow the current label. Consult a healthcare professional before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in children, with a medical condition or while taking medication.

WHEN TO SEEK HELP

Stop use and contact a healthcare professional if side effects persist, worsen or concern you.
Get emergency help for trouble breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or collapse after using this product.
