Magnesium Bisglycinate - Unbuffered, Albion TRAACS
100% unbuffered magnesium bisglycinate. Made with Albion TRAACS chelate, with no magnesium oxide on the ingredient list.
121 mg elemental magnesium per 2-capsule serving (60.5 mg per capsule). The dose you read is the dose you get. The licensed serving is two capsules. Pure magnesium bisglycinate is approximately 14.1% elemental magnesium by weight; commercial ingredient grades vary.
What "unbuffered" means: the elemental magnesium on our label comes from magnesium bisglycinate alone. Buffered products add a second source, usually magnesium oxide, which you will find in their medicinal ingredients.
- Unbuffered: one declared magnesium source, magnesium bisglycinate
- Dose you can check: 60.5 mg elemental per capsule, 121 mg per 2-capsule serving
- One active ingredient: no proprietary blend
- Full disclosure: non-medicinal: microcrystalline cellulose, hypromellose (capsule), magnesium stearate
- Plant-based capsules, made in Canada from imported and domestic ingredients
- Health Canada licensed: NPN 80148126. Helps to maintain/support normal muscle function, including the heart muscle.
Not a fit if you want one giant capsule, or you shop purely on lowest price. Buffered products usually cost less, and we'd rather tell you that.

Why unbuffered?
Some magnesium sold as glycinate also contains magnesium oxide, listed in the medicinal ingredients. Ours is 100% unbuffered: one declared magnesium source, magnesium bisglycinate made with Albion TRAACS chelate, 121 mg of elemental magnesium across a two-capsule serving. The dose you read is the dose you get.
Reality Check Calculator
Plug in the numbers from any magnesium bisglycinate bottle. The calculator estimates how much chelate powder a stated elemental dose would take, so you know what to check in the ingredient list.
Capsule capacities are approximate and ingredient grades vary. This is an estimate, not a test of any product.
A capsule can only hold so much.
Here is an illustrative calculation using pure magnesium bisglycinate. Commercial ingredient grades and capsule fill vary.
Pure bisglycinate is mostly glycine.
Pure magnesium bisglycinate is about 14.1% elemental magnesium by weight, and commercial grades vary. The rest is mostly glycine, so a meaningful elemental dose takes a lot of powder.
To deliver 200 mg elemental, you need…
For pure magnesium bisglycinate, 200 mg ÷ 0.141 ≈ 1,418 mg of pure chelate. Commercial ingredient grades vary.
A capsule may hold about…
For illustration, if one capsule holds about 735 mg of powder, 1,418 mg of pure chelate would need about two capsules. Actual capsule fill and ingredient grades vary. Check the medicinal ingredients to identify every magnesium source.
Flip your bottle. Three checks.
Turn over any magnesium product in your cupboard and check these three things on its label.
Read the medicinal ingredients.
If you see "magnesium oxide" listed alongside "magnesium bisglycinate," the product is buffered, and the magnesium is not all bisglycinate.
Check the per-capsule claim.
If a single standard capsule lists 150 mg or more of elemental magnesium, check the medicinal ingredients for a second magnesium source.
Read the non-medicinal ingredients too.
Read both the medicinal and non-medicinal ingredients. If a second magnesium compound is listed, check what the label says about each source.
Product details
How to take it
Recommended dose: Adults: take 2 capsules 1 time per day with food.
Storage and safety: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing.
The capsule math
60.5 mg elemental magnesium per capsule × 2 capsules = 121 mg per serving. All from bisglycinate, no oxide buffer. A front-label number alone does not identify every magnesium source. Check the medicinal ingredients.
What's inside
One active ingredient: 100% Albion TRAACS magnesium bisglycinate. Non-medicinal: microcrystalline cellulose, hypromellose (vegan capsule), magnesium stearate. No proprietary blend.

Not a fit if…
- You want one giant capsule a day. Our 121 mg elemental is two smaller capsules, and to some people, two is one too many.
- You only need 50 to 100 mg of elemental magnesium a day. Plenty of lower-dose products are perfectly fine.
- You're shopping purely on price per capsule. Buffered products usually cost less, and we'd rather tell you that than compete on it.
- You mainly want a magnesium for occasional regularity. That is not what this product is licensed for.
FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
Why two capsules instead of one?
The licensed serving provides 121 mg of elemental magnesium in two capsules. Capsule fill and ingredient grades vary.
Is this buffered with magnesium oxide?
No. It’s 100% chelated bisglycinate. The elemental magnesium on the label comes entirely from the chelate. Never oxide.
How do I check my current magnesium?
Turn the bottle over. If “magnesium oxide” appears in the medicinal ingredients, the product is buffered and the magnesium is not all bisglycinate.
Bisglycinate vs. citrate vs. oxide?
Oxide, citrate and bisglycinate are different compounds with different elemental percentages. Human studies comparing their absorption are small and mixed, so we compare what a label can prove: the elemental amount and every magnesium source.
Is it Health Canada licensed?
Yes. Reviewed and licensed by Health Canada under NPN 80148126.
