What the research says about magnesium
Educational summaries of published research on magnesium and its chelated (bis-glycinate) forms; not product-specific claims. CanPrev Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 140 Extra Gentle's authorized claim is the single use under NPN 80075951: a factor in the maintenance of good health.
Comparative trial found bisglycinate showed no significant plasma increase versus other forms
A randomized, double-blind, crossover trial in 40 healthy adults compared plasma magnesium levels after oral intake of magnesium oxide, magnesium citrate, magnesium bisglycinate and a microencapsulated magnesium ingredient - magnesium oxide and citrate produced significant plasma increases at some timepoints, while magnesium bisglycinate did not show a significant increase in this specific comparison.
Human RCTSucrosomial magnesium showed a red-cell magnesium advantage over bisglycinate
A double-blind crossover study in healthy subjects comparing sucrosomial magnesium with magnesium citrate, oxide and bisglycinate found sucrosomial magnesium produced greater blood and urine magnesium increases than oxide, and a statistically significant red blood cell magnesium advantage compared with bisglycinate specifically.
Human RCTBuffered bis-glycinate showed strong intestinal permeability in a laboratory study
A laboratory study comparing sucrosomial and bisglycinate magnesium forms on human intestinal and myometrial cells found buffered magnesium bis-glycinate produced better intestinal permeability and greater availability over time than the sucrosomial form tested.
Preclinical studyMagnesium bisglycinate modestly reduced insomnia severity in a randomized trial
A randomized, placebo-controlled trial in 155 adults with self-reported poor sleep quality found that 250 mg of elemental magnesium as magnesium bisglycinate produced a small but statistically significant reduction in Insomnia Severity Index scores after 4 weeks compared with placebo.
Human RCTMagnesium and potassium supplementation reduced insomnia severity in adults with diabetes
A randomized controlled trial in 290 adults with diabetes and insomnia found that magnesium, potassium and a combined magnesium-potassium supplement each significantly improved Insomnia Severity Index scores and normalized serum cortisol and melatonin levels compared with placebo.
Human RCTSleep quality scores improved alongside magnesium status in older adults with poor sleep
A controlled trial in adults over 51 with poor sleep quality found that Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores improved and erythrocyte magnesium increased over several weeks, though the improvement occurred in both the magnesium and placebo groups, leaving magnesium's specific contribution unclear.
Human RCTCochrane review found no meaningful benefit for cramp prevention in older adults
An updated Cochrane review of 11 trials (735 participants) concluded that oral magnesium supplementation is unlikely to provide clinically meaningful cramp prophylaxis for older adults with idiopathic nocturnal leg cramps, though evidence for pregnancy-related cramps remained inconsistent.
Cochrane ReviewMeta-analysis found no reduction in pregnancy leg cramp frequency
A meta-analysis of 4 randomized controlled trials (332 pregnant women) found that oral magnesium supplementation did not significantly decrease the frequency of leg cramps compared with control, and did not significantly improve recovery from cramps.
Meta-analysisSystematic review found magnesium reduced pregnancy cramps but showed inconsistent results elsewhere
A systematic review and meta-analysis of 13 trials on electrolyte supplementation for muscle pain syndromes found magnesium significantly reduced cramp frequency in pregnancy-associated leg cramps, but showed no significant effect on nocturnal or persistent leg cramps in other adults.
Systematic ReviewMagnesium-based supplement reduced stress scores and altered brain activation in an fMRI study
A randomized, controlled fMRI study in 40 chronically stressed but healthy adults found that a magnesium-containing supplement (with B vitamins, Rhodiola and green tea/L-theanine) significantly reduced Depression Anxiety Stress Scale stress scores after 28 days and altered brain activation in stress- and pain-related regions compared with placebo.
Human RCTMagnesium with vitamin B6 improved anxiety, depression and quality-of-life scores in stressed adults
A post-hoc analysis of an 8-week randomized controlled trial in adults with low magnesium status and severe stress found that magnesium supplementation, with or without vitamin B6, significantly improved anxiety and depression scores and quality-of-life measures from baseline.
Human RCTReview links dietary magnesium and other nutrients to anxiety and depression outcomes
A review of nutritional psychiatry evidence found that magnesium, alongside omega-3 fatty acids, B-vitamins and other micronutrients, acts as an enzymatic cofactor for neurotransmitter synthesis and immune signaling, with the most consistent clinical benefits seen when correcting an existing nutrient insufficiency.
ReviewMeta-analysis found magnesium supplementation modestly lowered blood pressure
A meta-analysis and dose-response analysis of randomized controlled trials found magnesium supplementation produced a modest but significant reduction in blood pressure across hypertensive and normotensive populations, with the effect varying by dose.
Meta-analysisMeta-analysis found magnesium improved glucose control, blood pressure and lipids in type 2 diabetes
A meta-analysis of 23 randomized controlled trials (1,345 participants) found magnesium supplementation in people with type 2 diabetes significantly increased serum magnesium and improved measures of glycemic control, blood pressure and lipid profile.
Meta-analysisMeta-analysis found magnesium improved insulin resistance and cardiometabolic markers in prediabetes
A systematic review and meta-analysis of 5 randomized controlled trials (384 prediabetic adults) found oral magnesium supplementation significantly improved 2-hour oral glucose tolerance results, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), triglycerides and HDL cholesterol.
Meta-analysisNarrative review links magnesium status to bone mineral density and fracture risk
An updated narrative review of 28 studies found that lower serum magnesium is associated with osteoporosis, that roughly a fifth of people consistently consume less magnesium than recommended, and that magnesium supplementation trials showed benefits for both bone mineral density and fracture risk.
ReviewHigher magnesium intake linked to higher hip bone mineral density in older adults
A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies in adults 60 and older found a significant positive association between magnesium intake and hip bone mineral density, though evidence for other bone sites and fracture outcomes was more limited.
Meta-analysisReview describes magnesium homeostasis as crucial for bone integrity
A review of magnesium and osteoporosis found that both magnesium deficiency and excess can harm bone, with deficiency contributing to osteoporosis both directly through bone crystal formation and indirectly through parathyroid hormone and low-grade inflammation, concluding that maintaining magnesium homeostasis helps support bone integrity.
ReviewGlobal modelling study finds magnesium intake gaps are more common in men than women
A global modelling analysis covering 185 countries estimated the prevalence of inadequate intake for 15 micronutrients, finding estimated magnesium intake gaps were higher for men than for women, part of a broader pattern of common micronutrient shortfalls worldwide.
Modelling StudyReview frames magnesium deficiency as an underappreciated public health issue
A 2025 review describes magnesium as a cofactor in hundreds of enzymatic reactions and links widespread low magnesium status - driven by inadequate dietary intake, chronic disease and lifestyle factors - to elevated risks across cardiometabolic, skeletal and neurological health.
ReviewReview outlines the causes and consequences of widespread dietary magnesium deficiency
A 2025 review describes dietary magnesium deficiency as a widespread and underrecognized global public health concern given magnesium's roles in energy metabolism, glucose regulation, cardiovascular function, bone integrity and neural activity, and proposes strategic solutions to help close the gap.
ReviewMagnesium acts as a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions
A comprehensive review describes magnesium as a cofactor for more than 300 enzymatic reactions, essential for ATP energy metabolism, muscle contraction, protein synthesis and DNA synthesis throughout the body.
ReviewReview describes magnesium's role in neuronal health from cellular biochemistry to cognition
