A form of magnesium
Magnesium glycinate supplements
1,307 magnesium products in the NIH label database list magnesium as magnesium glycinate (9% of the 15,088 magnesium products); their median is 113 mg of magnesium per serving, against 86 mg across all magnesium products; the 202 whose only supplement ingredient is magnesium list a median of 205 mg (DSLD version 9.4.0, January 2026).
How does magnesium glycinate compare with the other forms?
The median amount of magnesium per serving in products naming each form; the count in brackets. The amount is the magnesium the label gives, as printed (the Supplement Facts row normally states the element; a row named as the compound usually gives the compound's weight and is left out of these figures).

Is the amount the magnesium or the whole magnesium glycinate?
A Supplement Facts row normally states the magnesium itself (a row like "Magnesium (as magnesium glycinate)"); a row named as the compound (a row like "Magnesium glycinate") usually states the compound's weight, which includes what the magnesium is bound to and is larger than the magnesium it supplies. The front of a bottle may print either. Of the 1,307 products here, 1,295 give the magnesium in its own row (14 of them an amount far outside what other labels list, or one their own %DV disagrees with); 1 gives only a row named as the compound, left out of the medians and counts on this site; 11 give no amount of their own or one in another unit.
The adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level for magnesium is 350 mg a day; it covers magnesium from supplements and medicines only, not food or water. At the most servings their labels direct, 270 of the 1,281 magnesium glycinate products with a plausible amount (21.1%) give more than that.
