What is magnesium glycinate good for?
Magnesium glycinate is well known for supporting relaxation, muscle recovery, and healthy sleep. Because it is bound to glycine, it is typically gentle on digestion and highly bioavailable, making it a popular choice for those who want calming support without laxative effects. It may also help ease muscle tension and support a balanced stress response. Lotnafee Magnesium+ includes ten highly absorbable forms of magnesium, including magnesium glycinate, to promote relaxation, recovery, and nervous system support.*
What is the best time to take magnesium?
The exact time of day you take magnesium is less important than establishing a consistent time and pattern for taking magnesium that fits your routine and supports your main health goals. For example, taking a product like Lotnafee Magnesium+ in the evening with dinner is popular because its blend of bioavailable magnesium forms (including magnesium glycinate) can help support relaxation, less muscle tension , and restful sleep, while others find a morning dose with food supports daily metabolic health. You can also split your dose into morning and evening. Consistency and taking it with food often enhances absorption and allows for easier digestion.*
Is magnesium bisglycinate the same as magnesium glycinate?
Yes, magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium glycinate refer to the same highly bioavailable magnesium form which is chelated with the amino acid glycine. "Bisglycinate" technically indicates two glycine molecules bound to each magnesium ion. “Glycinate” is often used as a shorthand on supplement labels. This form of magnesium is noted for excellent absorption, enhancing relaxation, sleep support, and nervous system balance. In high-quality supplements like Lotnafee Magnesium+, magnesium bisglycinate chelate (often labeled as magnesium glycinate) is included alongside other magnesium forms to help maximize uptake and support everything from calm and recovery to metabolic and bone health.*
What’s the bioavailability of Lotnafee Magnesium+?
When we created Lotnafee Magnesium+, our goal was to include forms of magnesium that have been proven by research as well-retained and usable by the body. Contrary to popular belief, we don’t take magnesium because it is bioavailable (that’s a feature not a benefit); we take it to support optimizing tissue levels, which promotes health. It’s not just the amount of magnesium that goes in your mouth that matters: it’s what gets to your cells. The ten forms of magnesium in Lotnafee Magnesium+ are backed by research that they are more effective than others when it comes to optimizing magnesium in different tissues.*
What are the benefits of magnesium?

A few of the most common benefits of Lotnafee Magnesium+ include support for balanced moods, easing tense muscles, promoting restful sleep, soothing feelings of stress, and facilitating recovery from exercise.* Learn more about the benefits of magnesium.
How should I get started with Lotnafee Magnesium+?
Our general recommendation for those new to magnesium supplementation is to take 1-2 capsules with water or your preferred beverage, accompanied by food. Lotnafee Magnesium+ can be taken at any time of day that best fits your schedule. Some individuals prefer taking magnesium in the morning with breakfast or at lunch, while others find it more convenient to take it with dinner. It's also perfectly fine to split the dose, taking one capsule with breakfast and another with dinner. The key is to choose a time that best fits your daily routine, ensuring consistent use of your magnesium supplement for optimal benefits.*
How soon should I see benefits from Lotnafee Magnesium+?
Magnesium supplements aren’t necessarily noticed or felt.The perception of benefits can vary widely among individuals, influenced by factors such as initial magnesium levels, dietary habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, stress levels, medication use, and other factors. Magnesium supplements gradually enhance tissue magnesium status over time, so benefits, when noticed, tend to be gradual and occur over several weeks. This gradual improvement aligns with magnesium’s role in supporting overall health and well-being, even if the effects aren't always consciously felt.*
