What the research says about magnesium and bis-glycinate chelation
Educational summaries of published research on magnesium and its bis-glycinate (glycinate) chelate form generally - shared for education, not as claims about this finished product. Pediatric-specific magnesium research is more limited than adult research for some topics (sleep, general muscle-function mechanism); those groups draw partly on the wider adult literature, noted explicitly where relevant. Orange Naturals Kids Magnesium Drink Mix's own authorized use under NPN 80104019 is that it is a factor in the maintenance of good health, helping in energy metabolism and tissue formation, bone development, and normal muscle function.
In patients with impaired absorption, magnesium diglycinate was better absorbed than magnesium oxide
A randomized, double-blind crossover trial in 12 adults who had undergone ileal resection compared magnesium diglycinate (a bis-glycinate chelate) with magnesium oxide. In the four patients with the most impaired magnesium absorption, the chelate was absorbed significantly more (23.5% vs 11.8%) and was better tolerated overall, supporting the idea that part of the dose is absorbed intact via a dipeptide transport pathway.
Human RCT (n=12, adults)A review describes how binding magnesium to an amino acid, as in bis-glycinate, can enhance mineral absorption
Reviewing metal-binding peptides, the authors describe how binding a mineral such as magnesium to an amino acid or short peptide can influence the resulting complex in ways that improve absorption and bioavailability relative to unbound, inorganic mineral forms - the chelation principle behind TRAACS and other magnesium bis-glycinate chelates.
ReviewAn animal dose-ranging study found magnesium glycinate shows a distinct tissue-absorption pattern from other organic magnesium forms
Comparing organic-acid-bound magnesium (citrate, malate) with amino-acid-bound forms (acetyl taurate, glycinate) at three different doses in mice, magnesium citrate increased muscle and brain magnesium in a dose-independent way, while dividing high doses of the amino-acid-bound forms into two smaller doses did not meaningfully improve tissue magnesium levels.
Animal studyA 2025 review describes magnesium as a critical cofactor in hundreds of enzymatic reactions across energy metabolism, bone and neurological health
This comprehensive review describes magnesium as a critical cofactor in hundreds of enzymatic reactions that regulate energy metabolism, neuromuscular function, cardiovascular health, bone integrity, immune defense and psychological well-being, noting that deficiency remains common worldwide despite these essential roles.
ReviewA comprehensive review describes magnesium as a cofactor for over 300 enzymatic reactions including ATP energy production
This review describes magnesium's role in energy metabolism, muscle contraction, protein synthesis and DNA synthesis, acting as a cofactor for more than 300 enzymatic reactions that facilitate the conversion of ATP to ADP for energy production, and for the proper functioning of ion channels influencing nerve transmission and muscle relaxation.
ReviewA safety review found most studies of oral magnesium supplements showed no significant increase in diarrhea versus placebo
Reviewing 10 studies (5 meta-analyses, 5 randomized trials) that tracked diarrhea as an adverse event from single-ingredient magnesium supplements at doses from 128 to 1,200 mg/day, 7 found no significant difference in diarrhea between magnesium and control groups, and a search of the FDA's adverse-event database found only 40 attributable gastrointestinal cases tied to single-ingredient magnesium products.
Review of RCTs and meta-analysesAn RCT found magnesium bisglycinate - the same chelate class used in this formula - modestly improved insomnia severity in adults with poor sleep
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 155 adults aged 18-65 with self-reported poor sleep, 250 mg of elemental magnesium as magnesium bisglycinate produced a small but statistically significant improvement in Insomnia Severity Index scores over 4 weeks compared with placebo. This trial was conducted in adults; direct pediatric research on magnesium bis-glycinate and sleep specifically is still limited.
Human RCT (n=155, adults)A trial in adults with diabetes found magnesium supplementation reduced insomnia severity and shifted sleep hormones
In 290 adults with diabetes randomized to placebo, magnesium, potassium, or both, magnesium supplementation significantly reduced Insomnia Severity Index scores and shifted serum melatonin and cortisol levels compared with placebo over two months. This trial was conducted in adults with diabetes, not children.
Human RCT (n=290, adults)A pediatric review discusses magnesium alongside other nutraceuticals for children with headache and sleep disruption
Reviewing nutraceutical management of tension-type headache in children - up to 70% of whom also experience sleep disruption - the authors describe magnesium, tryptophan and B vitamins as having shown positive preliminary effects in children with primary headache, with or without sleep disorders, while cautioning that high-quality randomized trials are still needed to confirm these findings.
Review (pediatric)An RCT in children with ADHD found vitamin D plus magnesium supplementation improved several mental-health measures
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 66 children with ADHD, 8 weeks of vitamin D (50,000 IU/week) plus magnesium (6 mg/kg/day) produced significant reductions in parent-reported emotional problems, conduct problems, peer problems and total difficulties compared with placebo.
Human RCT (n=66, children)A prospective cohort study found higher dietary magnesium intake was linked to fewer externalizing behaviour problems in adolescents
Following 684 adolescents in the Western Australian Pregnancy Cohort (Raine) Study at ages 14 and 17, higher dietary magnesium intake was significantly associated with reduced externalizing behaviours after adjusting for sex, physical activity, family income and other factors, with a similar but non-significant trend for zinc intake.
Prospective cohort study (n=684, adolescents)A systematic review found no predominant evidence that magnesium supplementation improves ADHD symptoms - an honest, hedged finding
Reviewing 11 randomized controlled trials on magnesium, iron and zinc supplementation for ADHD in children, the authors concluded there is no predominant evidence supporting mineral supplementation for ADHD treatment, and called for more research before drawing firm conclusions.
Systematic reviewA 2025 review describes migraine as a leading cause of disability in children, with accumulated evidence for magnesium supplementation easing it
Noting that migraine is a leading cause of disability for children and adolescents aged 5-19, this review describes accumulated evidence from case reports, observational studies and randomized placebo-controlled trials showing magnesium supplementation can help alleviate migraine, potentially via effects on cortical spreading depression, vascular changes, oxidative stress and nerve excitability linked to magnesium deficiency.
ReviewA 6-month follow-up found magnesium prophylaxis reduced migraine-related disability and anxiety in children
In 34 children aged 7-17 with migraine treated with oral magnesium for 6 months, migraine-related disability scores, anxiety and depressive symptoms all significantly decreased, while physical and psychosocial well-being and social support significantly improved.
Follow-up study (n=34, children)A review of pediatric migraine nutraceuticals - including magnesium - found the evidence base still limited, an honest hedge
Reviewing 21 studies of single-compound nutraceuticals (including magnesium, vitamin D, riboflavin, coenzyme Q10 and butterbur) for pediatric migraine, the author found the overall quality and size of studies limited, concluding no definite conclusions can yet be drawn on efficacy and calling for further research to define these treatments' role.
ReviewA landmark physiology review describes how magnesium homeostasis is regulated in the intestine, kidney and bone
This comprehensive review of magnesium in human health describes magnesium as the second most abundant intracellular cation, involved in over 600 enzymatic reactions, with an important physiological role in the brain, heart and skeletal muscles, and provides an extensive overview of how magnesium homeostasis is regulated across the intestine, kidney and bone.
ReviewA study of 375 children found reduced magnesium levels linked to lower bone mineral density
Examining 375 children and adolescents aged 3 to 16, this study found a strong association between decreased bone mineral density and connective tissue dysplasia, with reduced magnesium levels - alongside lower calcium and vitamin D - significantly more common in children with both conditions than in those with neither.
Cross-sectional study (n=375, children)A review of pediatric bone health names adequate magnesium intake, alongside calcium and vitamin D, as important for skeletal outcomes
Reviewing bone health promotion in children and adolescents following solid organ transplantation, the authors identify adequate calcium, phosphorous, magnesium and vitamin D intake as part of the foundation for good bone status, alongside regular physical activity and minimizing bone-toxic medications.
Review (pediatric)A scoping review found magnesium supplementation can improve muscle mass, strength and exercise recovery
Reviewing 20 studies on magnesium and skeletal muscle health, this scoping review found clinical studies showed magnesium supplementation improved muscle mass, respiratory muscle strength and exercise recovery, and reduced muscle soreness and inflammation, while preclinical research showed magnesium modulates pathways affecting muscle homeostasis and oxidative stress.
Scoping reviewA controlled trial in athletes with low-normal magnesium found 3 weeks of oral supplementation did not improve exercise performance - an honest null finding
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 20 athletes with low-normal serum magnesium, 3 weeks of oral magnesium oxide (500 mg/day) did not improve exercise performance, neuromuscular activity or muscle-related symptoms, and did not raise magnesium levels in serum or any body compartment measured - though renal magnesium handling did shift between groups.
Human RCT (n=20, adult athletes)A review describes magnesium's essential physiological role in bone formation, neuromuscular stability and muscle contraction
This review of magnesium homeostasis disorders describes magnesium as playing an essential role in bone formation, neuromuscular stability and muscle contraction, and notes that magnesium deficiency and hypomagnesemia are common, under-recognized conditions that can cause a variety of symptoms.
ReviewA national US survey of over 32,000 children and adolescents found magnesium intake inadequacy increasing with age
Analyzing usual nutrient intake in 32,118 individuals aged 1 to 18 from NHANES 2001 to March 2020, this study found inadequate intakes of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and vitamin A became increasingly common with age, with magnesium among the nutrients most commonly under-consumed by adolescents aged 9 to 18.
National survey (n=32,118, ages 1-18)A study found food-insecure children faced a higher risk of inadequate magnesium intake than food-secure peers
Analyzing NHANES data on 9,147 US children aged 1 to 18, this study found food-insecure boys and girls were at higher risk of inadequate magnesium and vitamin D intake than their food-secure counterparts, with food-insecure adolescent girls aged 14-18 facing the highest risk of micronutrient inadequacies overall.
Cross-sectional study (n=9,147, children)A study of children and adolescents with chronic disease found 45 percent had low blood magnesium despite near-normal dietary intake
Evaluating magnesium status in 78 children and adolescents with chronic diseases, this study found 45% had hypomagnesemia and 12% had hypermagnesemia, even though mean dietary magnesium intake was around 105% of the reference value - with 79% of the group at elevated risk of abnormal magnesium status overall.
