What the research says about magnesium
Educational summaries of published research on magnesium and its chelated (bis-glycinate) form; not product-specific claims. CanPrev Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 400 Ultra Gentle's authorized claim is the single use under NPN 80089799: a factor in the maintenance of good health.
Magnesium-L-threonate improved sleep quality and daytime functioning
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in adults with self-reported sleep problems found that magnesium-L-threonate (a different magnesium form than bis-glycinate) improved sleep quality and daytime functioning compared with placebo.
Human RCTMagnesium bisglycinate modestly improved sleep in healthy adults reporting poor sleep
A randomized, placebo-controlled trial in healthy adults reporting poor sleep found that magnesium bisglycinate supplementation produced measurable improvements versus placebo, adding to evidence for chelated magnesium forms as a sleep-support option.
Human RCTSleep quality scores improved alongside magnesium status in older adults
A controlled trial in adults over 51 with poor sleep quality found that Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores improved and erythrocyte magnesium increased over 7 weeks, though the improvement occurred in both the magnesium and placebo groups, leaving magnesium's specific contribution unclear.
Human RCTA week of magnesium lowered exercise-induced muscle soreness and inflammation
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial in recreational runners found that 7 days of 500mg/day magnesium supplementation reduced interleukin-6 and muscle soreness after a downhill running time trial, and improved post-exercise blood glucose recovery, compared with placebo.
Human RCTReview highlights magnesium's role in athletic muscle function and ATP production
A 2025 review of magnesium and vitamin D in athletes describes magnesium's role in muscle contraction, ATP production for energy metabolism and electrolyte balance, and notes that athletes may have higher magnesium needs than sedentary individuals.
ReviewCochrane 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 ReviewSystematic review found suggestive but low-quality evidence for anxiety
A systematic review of 18 studies in anxiety-vulnerable populations found suggestive evidence that magnesium supplementation may reduce subjective anxiety, but rated the overall quality of the existing evidence as poor and called for well-designed randomized trials.
Systematic ReviewMagnesium chloride improved depression symptom scores in a crossover trial
A randomized crossover trial in 112 adults with mild-to-moderate depression found that 6 weeks of 248mg elemental magnesium chloride produced a net improvement in PHQ-9 depression scores and GAD-7 anxiety scores compared with no treatment, with effects observed within 2 weeks.
Human RCTMagnesium chloride reduced mild/moderate stress in a fibromyalgia trial
A randomized, double-blind trial in fibromyalgia patients found that one month of oral magnesium (100mg magnesium chloride daily) significantly reduced stress scores in the subgroup with mild/moderate baseline stress and significantly reduced pain severity, compared with placebo.
Human RCTMagnesium diglycinate showed better absorption than magnesium oxide in impaired absorbers
A double-blind crossover trial in patients with ileal resection found that, among those with the greatest impairment absorbing magnesium oxide, absorption of an equivalent dose of magnesium diglycinate (chelate) was significantly higher and better tolerated.
Human RCTStudy of magnesium formulations on intestinal cells found favourable buffered bis-glycinate behaviour
A laboratory study of different magnesium formulations on human intestinal and myometrial cells assessed how each form influenced cell relaxation and permeability, informing how buffered bis-glycinate magnesium behaves at the cellular level compared with other formulations tested.
Preclinical studyAmino-acid-bound magnesium, including glycinate, showed dose-dependent tissue uptake in mice
An animal study comparing organic acid-bound (citrate, malate) and amino-acid-bound (glycinate, acetyl taurate) magnesium compounds measured brain, muscle and serum magnesium after oral dosing at three dose levels and found tissue uptake varied by compound and dose.
Preclinical studyMeta-analysis found magnesium supplementation modestly lowered blood pressure
A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found magnesium supplementation produced modest reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared with placebo, with larger reductions in those with hypertension or low magnesium status.
Meta-analysisDietary magnesium intake is inversely associated with cardiovascular risk factors
A review of electrolyte minerals and cardiovascular health found that, unlike sodium, dietary magnesium (along with potassium and calcium) shows an inverse correlation with cardiovascular events and risk factors, particularly blood pressure.
ReviewMagnesium reduced new-onset atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery
A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found that magnesium supplementation reduced the risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation following cardiac surgery, though it had no significant effect on all-cause mortality.
Meta-analysisNarrative review confirms magnesium's link to bone mineral density
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 lists magnesium among nutrients important for bone integrity
A review of recent bone-health nutrition research states that magnesium intake is beneficial for bone health, alongside adequate calcium, vitamin D and dairy intake, as part of a broader nutritional strategy to protect bone mass.
ReviewModelling study estimates widespread inadequate magnesium intake worldwide
A global modelling analysis covering 185 countries found estimated inadequate-intake rates were higher for men than women for several nutrients including magnesium, part of a broader pattern of common micronutrient intake gaps 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.
ReviewNearly half of Americans consumed less magnesium than recommended
A widely cited review found that almost half of the US population consumed less than the required amount of magnesium from food, and documented decades of rising calcium-to-magnesium intake ratios that favour calcium over magnesium in the modern diet.
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.
ReviewMagnesium is essential for muscular contraction, cardiac excitability and nerve transmission
A review of magnesium's role in prevention and therapy describes its involvement in regulating muscle contraction, blood pressure, insulin metabolism, cardiac excitability, vasomotor tone, nerve transmission and neuromuscular conduction, as a cofactor for more than 300 enzymatic reactions.
ReviewMagnesium is a required cofactor for activating vitamin D
A review found that the enzymes that metabolize vitamin D in the liver and kidneys all appear to require magnesium as a cofactor, linking adequate magnesium intake to the body's ability to properly activate and use vitamin D.
