Magnesium bisglycinate capsules with zinc
Which magnesium benefits can we describe here? Magnesium has authorised health claims, including the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and normal muscle and nervous system function. These describe the nutrient’s recognised functions; they do not promise treatment or prove that this particular form is better absorbed. Our FAQ explains the distinction between research and authorised claims.
Bisglycinate combines magnesium with the amino acid glycine. The name identifies a different magnesium source from citrate, oxide or L-threonate. This L Cell formula also contains zinc, with the amount of each mineral listed separately in the ingredients table.
What are electrolytes?
Magnesium is an electrolyte: a mineral carrying an electric charge in body fluids. Sodium, potassium and calcium are other examples. The term identifies a group of minerals, rather than a chemical form of magnesium.
Who is magnesium for?
- For tiredness and fatigue: magnesium contributes to their reduction and to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
- For muscle function: magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and electrolyte balance.
- For the nervous system and psychological function: magnesium contributes to their normal functioning.
Suitable for
Important information
- Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
- Food supplements should not replace a varied diet. A varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important for good health.
- Keep out of the reach of young children.
- If you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before use. Show them the full ingredient list and details of any other supplements you take.
- Not intended for children.
- Consult a doctor before use if you have kidney disease or a condition affecting mineral balance.
- Higher magnesium intakes from supplements can cause diarrhoea or other digestive discomfort. Consider your total intake before combining several magnesium products.
What does one daily dose contain?
- 1,500 mg of the ingredient, providing 300 mg magnesium. The table distinguishes the ingredient weight from the amount of the mineral itself.
- Each capsule: 100 mg magnesium and 0.5 mg zinc. The daily dose is three capsules.
- 1.5 mg zinc per day: 15% of the nutrient reference value (NRV).
- One capsule with food in the morning and two before bed. Swallow with water.
- A 90-capsule pack: 30 daily doses, with gelatine-free HPMC (hypromellose) shells.
What does 80% NRV mean for magnesium?
The magnesium nutrient reference value used on food labels is 375 mg. This product supplies 300 mg daily, or 80% of that figure. Your total intake also includes magnesium from food and any other supplements.
What is magnesium bisglycinate?
“Bis” refers to two glycinate groups associated with magnesium. Glycine is an amino acid; in this compound it is present as glycinate. You may also see the terms magnesium glycinate, diglycinate or chelated magnesium. Chelation describes the chemical binding, rather than a percentage absorption rate.
The weight of a compound is different from the weight of its magnesium. Glycinate groups account for part of that weight. When comparing supplements, look for the amount of magnesium itself, rather than relying on the larger number next to the ingredient name.
The name alone does not establish whether an ingredient is unbuffered. That term would describe bisglycinate without another added magnesium source, such as oxide. The specification for the actual ingredient must establish its precise composition; a marketing name cannot do this.
Biohacking: food, movement and daily habits
Biohacking uses science, technology and changes to everyday habits to explore how the body and mind function. It can include adjustments to diet, sleep and exercise, meditation, breathing exercises or tracking selected measurements. Supplements are only one part of that wider picture.
What does biohacking involve?
- Food: a varied diet, regular eating habits and an understanding of nutrient intake.
- Sleep and rest: keeping track of sleep duration, bedtimes and time to rest during the day.
- Movement: regular activity that suits your fitness and circumstances.
- Tracking: a diary, app or wearable device to record habits and how they change.
Keeping a record helps you see what has changed in your routine. Alter your diet, exercise and several supplements at once, and it becomes harder to identify what made a difference. Consistency and a clear record of what you take are useful starting points.
Where do supplements fit in?
Compare ingredients, quantities and directions, rather than relying on a product name alone. With L Cell supplements, look at the main ingredients, added vitamins and minerals, powder or capsule format, and laboratory documentation. A varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle remain the foundation.
PraveBio also stocks brands with different specialisms. NoordCode offers functional foods and supplements, including MCT oils, collagen and electrolytes.
Jigsaw Health is an American family business founded in 2005 by Pat Sullivan and his son, Patrick Sullivan Jr. Magnesium and other mineral supplements feature prominently in its range.
BiOptimizers makes food supplements, including enzyme formulas such as the MassZymes digestive enzyme range. Each brand and product has its own composition, so compare the specific formula you are considering.
L Cell: its own laboratory and independent checks
L Cell develops and manufactures food supplements. The brand identifies its own laboratory in Vilnius, Lithuania, as the place where its formulas are made. That gives customers a traceable production location and a clearer picture of the company behind the range.
The range includes glycine with NAC, botanical extracts containing quercetin or resveratrol, and mineral supplements. Many products come as both powders and capsules. Choose the format that suits your routine, while checking the specific ingredients and daily dose for each pack.
Independent laboratories regularly check declared content and unwanted substances, including heavy metals and mycotoxins. Content testing measures the substances analysed; contaminant testing looks for unwanted impurities. Results apply to the sample and tests identified in the laboratory report.
The brand’s documentation also includes GMP and ISO 22000:2018 certificates issued to Longevita Lab and H Drop B.V. Their stated scope covers the development and sale of food supplements and snack foods. They document defined procedures and management systems; ingredient quantities require separate analytical testing.
In-house development and manufacture
L Cell identifies its own Vilnius laboratory as the site where it develops and makes supplements. You can trace the range beyond the brand name to a specific production location.
Powders or capsules
Many formulas are available in both formats. Choose between mixing into a drink and swallowing capsules, then check each ingredient amount against the recommended daily dose for that particular product.
Independent laboratory testing
Analysis covers declared ingredients and unwanted impurities. The report identifies what was measured and which sample was tested, giving you specific information about the material examined.
GMP and ISO 22000:2018
The published certificates cover the stated scope of development and sales. ISO 22000:2018 concerns food safety management systems; a laboratory analysis provides the separate evidence for ingredient quantities in a tested product.
Ingredients
Complete Composition
Magnesium bisglycinate, capsule shell: hypromellose (HPMC), zinc gluconate.
Ingredient amounts
| Ingredient | Amount per daily dose | % NRV |
|---|---|---|
| Magnesium bisglycinate – ingredient | 1,500 mg | – |
| of which magnesium | 300 mg | 80% |
| Zinc | 1.5 mg | 15% |
Daily dose: 3 capsules. NRV = nutrient reference value for adults: 375 mg for magnesium and 10 mg for zinc. “–” means that no NRV has been established.
How to use
- 3 capsules daily: one in the morning with food and two in the evening before bed.
- Swallow with water. The evening timing is part of the directions, rather than a promise of a sleep-inducing effect.
What do magnesium and zinc do?
Magnesium: muscles, the nervous system and tiredness
- Contributes to normal muscle and nervous system function. It also contributes to normal psychological function.
- Contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
- Contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth and to electrolyte balance.
Why does the formula contain zinc?
- Zinc is a separate mineral. Zinc gluconate is its source in this formula.
- Contributes to normal immune system function and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
- Contributes to normal cognitive function and protein synthesis. Its inclusion does not establish that it increases magnesium absorption or enhances magnesium’s effects.
80% NRV for magnesium and 15% NRV for zinc describe content, not absorption. These percentages compare the amounts with standard reference values. They do not measure your individual requirements or mean you should add further supplements to reach 100%.
Storage
- Keep in a cool, dry, dark place, out of the reach of young children. Close the container carefully after use and protect the contents from moisture. The best-before date and batch number are printed on your pack.
Choosing a form and dose
- The same formula in a different format: L Cell magnesium bisglycinate powder. Compare the preparation and number of units per daily dose; powder does not automatically mean faster absorption.
- Looking to compare a smaller amount per capsule? Jigsaw Health MagPure magnesium bisglycinate has a different formula and its own directions. Consider it as an alternative, rather than an additional product this formula requires.
Magnesium bisglycinate FAQs
Are the authorised benefits for bisglycinate or for magnesium itself?
The authorised claims concern magnesium as a nutrient. A food must contain enough magnesium to meet the relevant conditions; the name of the form alone is not sufficient. Bisglycinate identifies the source. Claims about normal muscle or nervous system function and the reduction of tiredness therefore do not prove that this product treats insomnia, prevents cramps or is better absorbed than every other form. Zinc has its own authorised claims, which cannot automatically be attributed to magnesium or to the whole combination.
Why does the table say 1,500 mg bisglycinate but only 300 mg magnesium?
Ingredient weight and mineral content are different measurements. L Cell’s table declares 1,500 mg of the ingredient per full daily dose, providing 300 mg of magnesium. On that declaration, one of the three units corresponds to 500 mg of the ingredient and 100 mg of magnesium. A “500 mg” figure on another magnesium supplement need not provide the same amount of mineral. Compare the magnesium content of each recommended daily dose and read the full ingredient list.
Is bisglycinate the same as glycinate, and does “chelated” mean best absorbed?
Glycinate, bisglycinate and diglycinate are related names used for magnesium combined with glycinate. “Bis” specifies two glycinate groups. Chelation describes the mineral’s binding within a complex; it does not establish the amount absorbed. A commercial ingredient’s exact composition, including any additional magnesium source, also matters. Without the ingredient specification and appropriate comparative evidence, neither complete absorption nor digestive comfort for everyone can be promised.
Do the powder and capsules provide the same amounts of minerals?
Yes, in the declared full daily dose: 300 mg magnesium and 1.5 mg zinc. That is three scoops of powder or three capsules, with each pack providing approximately 30 days. The capsules also have HPMC shells. The choice changes preparation and swallowing, rather than automatically changing mineral intake. Do not substitute a scoop from another powder: equal volumes of different ingredients need not weigh the same.
Why is part of the dose taken in the evening, and will it help me sleep?
The morning-and-evening split follows this product’s directions. Magnesium contributes to normal nervous system and psychological function, but these claims do not establish a sleep-inducing effect. We cannot promise that you will fall asleep within a particular time or sleep better after a set number of weeks. Persistent or significant sleep difficulties can have different causes and warrant individual assessment; taking more of a supplement does not replace that assessment.
Does 80% NRV mean I need to supplement the remaining 20%?
No. NRV is a standard labelling reference, not a personal prescription. The European magnesium NRV is 375 mg, so the declared 300 mg equals 80%. Food also supplies magnesium, including pulses, nuts, seeds and wholegrains. The NRV is not the upper safe limit for supplements either. You cannot use this percentage to calculate how much to increase the dose or how many extra capsules to take.
Can I take magnesium at the same time as medication?
Some medicines need to be separated from magnesium. In the gut, magnesium can form complexes with certain antibiotics, particularly tetracyclines and quinolones, reducing their absorption. It can also affect the absorption of oral bisphosphonates. There is no single spacing rule for every medicine: the active ingredient and its directions determine the appropriate interval. Show your pharmacist both the medicine and this supplement so they can advise on timing.
Can I also take electrolytes or another magnesium supplement?
First add up the magnesium itself across all supplements. Electrolytes, multivitamins and some digestive products may also contain it. Add the milligrams of magnesium, rather than the weights of bisglycinate, citrate or other compounds. Higher supplemental intakes can cause diarrhoea, with additional risks in kidney disease. A second form is not automatically a necessary addition to the first. Follow the directions and ask a doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.
Background reading: electrolytes explained by MedlinePlus.
Are the capsules vegan, and can I empty them into a drink?
The shell is hypromellose (HPMC), rather than animal gelatine, and the formula is labelled vegan. The directions are to swallow the capsules with water. If you prefer not to swallow capsules, the powder offers a straightforward alternative with its own scoop and directions. Do not infer a scoop measurement from capsule size or assume that emptying a capsule improves absorption.
What can a laboratory report or manufacturing certificate tell me?
Different documents answer different questions. A mineral assay can test magnesium or zinc content; tests for heavy metals or microorganisms cover only the listed parameters. Check the sample name, batch, date and scope of testing. GMP and ISO 22000 certificates concern manufacturing practices or food safety systems, rather than therapeutic effects. A laboratory logo alone does not establish that every pack currently on sale has been tested.

Where L Cell supplements are made
Product development and manufacturing in Vilnius are part of L Cell’s own operation. The brand publishes its laboratory address and information about product testing; each supplement still needs to be considered individually.
The range includes GlyNAC with glycine and NAC, botanical extracts such as apigenin and resveratrol, and magnesium supplements. These are different ingredients, with distinct compositions and directions.
Research into an ingredient does not establish the effects of every supplement containing it. Our descriptions distinguish ingredient information from health claims applicable to a particular nutrient and dose.
Pravé Bio and L Cell
Pravé Bio, NUZBOZ s.r.o., is L Cell’s exclusive distributor for the Czech Republic. Our shop carries individual L Cell product ranges and their available formats.
We check ingredient identity, quantities and the full ingredient list. For botanical extracts, we distinguish the weight of the extract from the amount of the specified compound within it.
Powders and capsules from the same range may differ. For example, GlyNAC powder and the capsule version have different glycine-to-NAC ratios; the individual product tables show those differences.
Match your question to the exact product. When comparing options, use the product name, format and pack size. For a laboratory report, also check the sample or batch identification.
Laboratory testing and certificates
Ingredient testing and contaminant testing answer different questions. One measures the amount of an analysed ingredient; the other checks for unwanted substances such as heavy metals. The brand’s documentation includes GMP and ISO 22000:2018 certificates issued to Longevita Lab and H Drop B.V. Their stated scope covers the development and sale of food supplements and food snacks.
A management-system certificate does not replace a product analysis. A laboratory result applies to the identified sample, measured substances and method. It does not establish rejuvenation or another health outcome.
