NOW Foods Magnesium Glycinate with BioPerine, 60 Veg Capsules

Description

What it is Two capsules provide 200 mg of magnesium as magnesium bisglycinate (Albion), plus 2.5 mg of black pepper extract (BioPerine). They’re vegan and made in a GMP facility. One bottle is 30 serves.

Why magnesium matters Magnesium is a working part of more than 300 enzyme systems in the body. Australia’s recommended intake for people over 50 is 420 mg a day for men and 320 mg for women. Food comes first: green vegetables, legumes, nuts and wholegrain cereals are all good sources.

A note on dose The label allows up to four capsules a day (400 mg). Australia’s upper level for magnesium from supplements is 350 mg a day for adults, because above that the first sign of too much is usually an upset stomach. Two capsules (200 mg) sits comfortably inside that. Check with your GP first if you take regular medicines or have a medical condition.
