Magnesium Bisglycinate
by Thorne · Optional · cramps, sleep, regularity
Glycinate form — better tolerated than oxide / citrate at the same elemental dose. Useful for the constipation that can accompany the slowed-gastric-emptying GLP-1 phase.
Magnesium does double duty on a GLP-1: it is one of the electrolytes you lose when intake drops, and the glycinate form can gently ease the constipation that comes with slowed digestion. The bisglycinate form is better tolerated than oxide or citrate at the same elemental dose, so it is less likely to send you the other direction. Skip it if your electrolyte mix already carries a meaningful magnesium dose; add it if you are cramping, sleeping poorly, or backed up.
