Our Verdict

It is second because the independent ISURA program, pure bisglycinate form and complete active-dose disclosure are strong on the highest-weighted criteria. Thorne stays ahead through the more directly searchable product-and-lot NSF certification.

Alternatives to Consider

Thorne, Magnesium Bisglycinate, 6.5 oz (187 g)

Thorne

Each scoop supplies 200 mg of elemental magnesium as magnesium bisglycinate, with citric acid and monk fruit as the only other ingredients. The label positions the powder for pre-bedtime use, and the exact 187 g product is listed in NSF's Certified for Sport directory.

California Gold Nutrition, Magnesium Glycinate, 133 mg, 180 Capsules

California Gold Nutrition

The Supplement Facts panel declares 400 mg elemental magnesium from magnesium glycinate per three-capsule serving and no added melatonin, GABA or L-theanine. iHerb marks the SKU iTested and offers a product certificate. The overview also calls the formula buffered without naming a separate buffering salt, which reduces form transparency.

KAL, Chelated Magnesium Bisglycinate, 180 Tablets

KAL

Three tablets provide 315 mg elemental magnesium from fully chelated magnesium bisglycinate, with no added sleep actives. The label markets relaxation support and makes the elemental amount clear. KAL says it is lab-tested for purity and potency, but no named independent certification or public product-specific certificate was found.

Doctor's Best, High Absorption Magnesium, 100 mg, 240 Tablets

Doctor's Best

Two tablets supply 200 mg elemental magnesium from 2,000 mg Albion TRAACS magnesium lysinate glycinate chelate. The product is marketed for muscle relaxation and sleep support and contains no added melatonin, GABA or L-theanine. Its suggested adult use is two tablets twice daily, so the labeled daily regimen is four tablets and 400 mg elemental magnesium.
