NOW Foods Magnesium Glycinate with BioPerine® combines magnesium chelated with the amino acid glycine (magnesium bisglycinate) with BioPerine®, a patented black pepper extract.
Magnesium is an essential mineral: it contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal energy-yielding metabolism, to the normal function of the muscles and nervous system, to normal psychological function, to electrolyte balance and to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.
The bisglycinate form is considered one of the gentlest on the digestive system, especially compared with magnesium oxide or citrate at higher doses. BioPerine® — a Piper nigrum extract with at least 96% piperine, a registered trademark of Sabinsa Corporation — sets this formula apart from standard magnesium glycinates.
Each 2-capsule serving provides 200 mg of magnesium (53% NRV) from Albion™ magnesium bisglycinate, made in GMP facilities in the USA. The formula is vegan, gluten-free, GMO-free and free from animal-derived ingredients.
Take 2 capsules, 1 to 2 times a day, ideally with a meal.
Store in a cool, dry place after opening.

Magnesium glycinate (or bisglycinate) is magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine, which makes it especially gentle on the stomach. Unlike magnesium oxide — the most common and cheapest form — or citrate, which can have a laxative effect at higher doses, glycinate is generally well tolerated.
BioPerine® is a patented black pepper (Piper nigrum) extract, standardised to at least 96% piperine. Each serving contains 2.5 mg of BioPerine®, which sets this formula apart from standard magnesium glycinates.
NOW Foods recommends 2 capsules, 1 to 2 times a day, with food. Many people prefer to take one of the servings in the evening. You can spread the servings across the day to suit your routine and tolerance.
Yes. The piperine in BioPerine® can inhibit the liver enzyme CYP3A4, which metabolises many medicines — including some anticoagulants, immunosuppressants and anti-epileptics. If you're taking medication, consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting this supplement.
