Pure Magnesium Glycinate Free of Fillers

Simple Ingredients

• It contains only magnesium glycinate — no other forms mixed in. Magnesium glycinate is the most absorbable magnesium and the most effective. I have worked with hundreds of women in my practice and time and time again I always see magnesium glycinate being the most effective. Unfortunately, I have yet to see a magnesium glycinate only supplement on the market that has no fillers, so I made my own! This is magnesium the way it should be: clean, simple, effective.

Filler + Additive free

• There are absolutely no fillers, binders, or additives in Wild + Well-Fed Magnesium - Most supplements on the market contain fillers, binders, and flow agents that serve zero nutritional purpose. They're just used to bulk up the capsule, make manufacturing easier, or preserve shelf life — but they can cause a lot of issues, especially for sensitive individuals.

Here are some of the most common (and problematic) offenders:

Magnesium Stearate

• A flow agent used to speed up manufacturing
• Can disrupt nutrient absorption and irritate the gut in sensitive people
• Often derived from cottonseed oil, which is high in PUFAs and may contain pesticide residue

Silicon Dioxide

• An anti-caking agent
• Not necessarily toxic in small amounts, but it’s synthetic and unnecessary especially if it’s something you are consuming daily  

Titanium Dioxide

• A whitening agent used in tablets and capsules
• Has been flagged for potential inflammation and DNA damage — banned in food products in parts of Europe, but still legal in supplements in the U.S.

Artificial Colors + Dyes (FD&C Blue, Red, Yellow, etc.)

• Linked to hyperactivity, allergies, and inflammation
• These dyes are often petroleum-derived — the last thing your liver or hormones need

Talc, Shellac, and Other Coatings

• Used to make tablets shiny or easier to swallow
• Can contain heavy metals or disrupt detox pathways

Cellulose + Microcrystalline Cellulose

• Plant-derived fiber used as a binder
• Cellulose is harder to break down, leading to bloating, gas, or poor absorption of the actual supplement inside

Your body is already exposed to enough. You shouldn’t have to “detox your supplement” while trying to heal. That’s why our magnesium glycinate contains no fillers, no flow agents, no artificial anything — just the active ingredient in a gut-friendly gelatin capsule.

We chose to have Wild + Well-Fed Magnesium Glycinate encapsulated in gelatin rather than cellulose. 

Most supplement capsules fall into one of two camps: gelatin (animal-based) or cellulose (plant-based). While both are technically “clean” in terms of ingredients, they’re not created equal when it comes to how your body digests and absorbs them.

Here’s why we chose gelatin for our magnesium glycinate:

• Gelatin is naturally easier to digest. It dissolves quickly in the stomach, allowing your body to access and absorb the magnesium without delay or strain on your digestive system.
• Cellulose capsules (also called “vegan” or “hypromellose” capsules) are made from plant fiber — but just because it’s “plant-based” doesn’t mean it’s better. For many people (especially those with compromised digestion or low stomach acid), cellulose can be harder to break down, leading to bloating, gas, or poor absorption of the actual supplement inside.
• Gelatin also has its own benefits — it’s a natural source of glycine, the same calming amino acid that’s in magnesium glycinate, supporting gut lining integrity and relaxation.

In short: we chose gelatin because it’s gentler on the gut, better absorbed, and more in line with how the body is designed to digest real food ingredients.

If you’re someone who struggles with bloating, gas, slow digestion, or histamine issues — avoiding cellulose capsules can make a big difference.

We package our magnesium glycinate in amber glass bottles for a reason — your supplements deserve better than a cheap plastic container. Here’s why it matters: Plastic can leach chemicals — especially when exposed to heat. Most plastic supplement bottles are made from PET or HDPE, which can leach endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA, BPS, or phthalates — especially when:

• Exposed to heat during shipping or storage (think delivery trucks, mailboxes, warehouse shelves)
• Stored long-term in a bathroom, car, or sunny kitchen cabinet
  These chemicals are known to mimic estrogen, interfere with hormone balance, and place an added burden on your liver.

Even BPA-free plastics aren’t off the hook — “BPA-free” just means they replaced it with other similar (often equally problematic) compounds, like BPS or BPF.

Glass helps protect the purity and potency of your supplement. Glass is non-reactive, meaning it won’t interact with your supplement, degrade over time, or alter the composition of what’s inside. That matters for something like magnesium glycinate, which is meant to calm and support — not come with mystery hormone disruptors. Amber glass also helps block light that can degrade sensitive compounds.

Not to mention how much better glass is for the environment!  We chose glass because it’s safer for your health, better for the planet, and helps keep our supplements as pure as they’re intended to be. No hormone disruptors. No heat-triggered leaching. Just clean minerals in a clean container.

There are a lot of different types of magnesium out there — and the form you take matters just as much as the dose. Some forms are cheap and poorly absorbed. Others work more like laxatives than actual cellular support.

We chose magnesium glycinate for Shop Wild + Well-Fed because it’s one of the most effective, gentle, and well-absorbed forms — especially for women dealing with stress, sleep issues, hormone imbalance, and nervous system dysregulation and magnesium deficiency. 

Magnesium glycinate is magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine. That matters because:

• Glycine is a calming, anti-inflammatory amino acid
• It helps soothe the nervous system and support sleep
• This form is chelated, meaning your body recognizes it more like food — leading to better absorption and less digestive irritation

Why we love magnesium glycinate:

• Highly bioavailable (your body actually absorbs and uses it)
• Gentle on the gut — won’t cause diarrhea like some other forms
• Supports stress relief, hormone balance, sleep, and mood
• Ideal for people who are sensitive or prone to digestive issues

You’ve probably seen other forms of magnesium out there — like citrate, oxide, threonate, and malate. Each form is simply magnesium bound to a different compound, which affects how it’s absorbed and how it works in the body.

Let’s break them down:

• Magnesium Citrate is commonly used as a laxative. It can help with elimination, but it often causes loose stools and isn’t ideal for long-term use if you're looking to restore magnesium levels.
• Magnesium Oxide has a very low absorption rate — around 4% — and mostly acts as a laxative. It can irritate the gut and isn’t effective for deep replenishment.
• Magnesium Threonate is known for supporting cognitive function, memory, and brain health. It’s patented, pricier, and doesn’t provide the same calming or hormonal support as glycinate.
• Magnesium Malate is more energizing and stimulating. While it may be helpful for chronic fatigue or muscle pain, it’s not ideal if your goal is to calm the nervous system or support sleep.

Each type of magnesium has its place — but in my experience, magnesium glycinate is the panacea of them all.

It’s deeply absorbable, gentle on the gut, and supports stress resilience, hormone balance, better sleep, and calm energy — without the laxative effect. This makes it the most effective and well-tolerated option, especially for women navigating modern stress, burnout, or hormonal symptoms.

That’s why it’s the only form we use.

No blends. No fillers. No gimmicks.

Just pure magnesium glycinate — in a clean, easy-to-digest form your body will actually use.

You are correct. I don’t take many supplements anymore and believe we can get most of our nutrients through food but there are a few that I have been taking for almost a decade.

When I began my health journey over a decade ago the first thing I added in to help with sleep, anxiety and digestion was magnesium glycinate. This (along with salt) were the two things that made the biggest difference on my health hands down and I have continued to include magnesium and salt in my routine since. It’s been over a decade and I am thriving! I actually notice a difference when I don’t take them that is how important they are. My clients, family and friends can attest to the same!

I have also run enough testing on clients to know most women are struggling with a magnesium deficiency and feel so much better once they start taking it daily!

Even if you eat a nutrient-dense, whole-food diet — magnesium is one of the hardest minerals to get enough of from food alone. Here's why:

Our soil isn’t what it used to be.

Thanks to modern farming practices, our soil has become severely depleted of minerals — especially magnesium.

• Industrial agriculture, pesticides, and over-cropping have stripped the soil of its natural magnesium stores.
• That means even magnesium-rich foods like leafy greens, nuts, and seeds contain far less magnesium today than they did 50–100 years ago. You could be eating “magnesium-rich” foods and still fall short.

Stress burns through magnesium like crazy.

Magnesium is known as the “anti-stress” mineral, but it’s also the first to get used up when your body is under pressure. Whether it’s emotional stress, overexercising, inflammation, blood sugar swings, or lack of sleep — your body will burn through magnesium to cope. Even sweating and exercise use increases your magnesium requirements. 

Everyone today is chronically stressed in some form… and that keeps them in a depleted state.

Absorption isn’t always optimal.

Even if you do eat enough magnesium on paper, you may not absorb it well — especially if:

• You have gut issues, low stomach acid, or poor digestion
• You're not consuming enough cofactors (like sodium, potassium, and vitamin B6) to help with uptake
• You’re dealing with chronic inflammation or dysbiosis

You’re likely not getting enough magnesium through food because of factors outside your control — soil depletion, stress, gut health, and lifestyle habits. That’s why supplementing with a well-absorbed form like magnesium glycinatecan be such a game changer.

Magnesium is often called the “master mineral” because it plays a critical role in almost every system in your body. It’s involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, and without enough of it, things start to fall apart — from sleep to stress to hormones to digestion. Here’s a bit of a breakdown of what magnesium does:

Nervous System + Mood Support

• Helps calm the nervous system, reducing feelings of stress, anxiety, and overwhelm
• Supports the production of calming neurotransmitters like GABA and serotonin
• Helps with mental clarity, focus, and even memory
• A key player in vagal tone (your body’s ability to return to calm after stress)

This is why magnesium is known as the “anti-stress” mineral — it literally helps your body and brain chill out.

Sleep + Circadian Rhythm

• Magnesium helps the brain wind down at night by activating the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest)
• Supports melatonin production and deep, restorative sleep
• Reduces nighttime muscle cramps, restlessness, and “tired but wired” energy
• Promotes deeper REM and better recovery overnight

If you're struggling with sleep, magnesium glycinate is one of the most effective and gentle solutions.

Muscles + Cramps

• Supports muscle relaxation and contraction, making it crucial for preventing cramps, spasms, and twitching
• Helps reduce PMS cramps and muscle soreness after workouts
• Can relieve jaw tension, eye twitching, and restless legs
  Magnesium is essential for both performance and recovery — whether you're walking, lifting weights, or chasing kids around.

Digestion + Bowel Regularity

• Helps regulate gut motility and keeps things moving, if you struggle with constipation this is great! 
• Calms the smooth muscle of the intestines, easing tension and bloating
• Supports a healthy microbiome and reduces constipation (especially when paired with other minerals like sodium and potassium)

Even if you're eating well, you can’t digest or eliminate properly without enough magnesium.

Cardiovascular + Blood Sugar Health

• Helps regulate blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels
• Supports insulin sensitivity and healthy blood sugar balance
• Reduces the risk of insulin resistance, PCOS-related symptoms, and even cardiovascular stress
• Assists in electrolyte balance, especially when paired with potassium and sodium

If you deal with blood sugar crashes, fatigue, or PCOS — magnesium can be a key player in stabilizing energy.

Hormones + Inflammation

• Reduces inflammation by calming the nervous system and supporting detox pathways
• Supports healthy progesterone levels (which are often low when magnesium is depleted)
• May help reduce PMS, breast tenderness, mood swings, and menstrual migraines
• Assists liver function in detoxifying excess estrogen and toxins

Women dealing with hormone imbalance often see big improvements just from restoring magnesium.

Bones + Mineral Balance

• Helps move calcium into the bones 
• Supports proper bone formation and density — especially important for women over 35
• Works in tandem with vitamin D, K2, and boron to support skeletal health
  Magnesium deficiency is often hiding behind brittle nails, low bone density, or frequent injuries.

Immune System + Detoxification

• Supports the production of glutathione, your body’s master antioxidant
• Helps the liver break down hormones, toxins, and environmental chemicals
• Reduces systemic inflammation, which is a driver behind so many chronic symptoms
• Essential for maintaining a resilient, well-regulated immune system

Magnesium helps you sleep better, stress less, digest more efficiently, balance your hormones, stabilize your mood, and feel like yourself again. Most people are walking around depleted — which is why restoring magnesium levels can feel like flipping a switch in your energy, mood, digestion, and sleep.

Magnesium deficiency is more common than most people realize — especially if you're stressed, not sleeping well, struggling with hormones, or dealing with chronic symptoms that no one seems to have answers for. Magnesium deficiency can have a downstream effect on your whole system. 

Here are some of the most common signs your body might be low in magnesium:

• Fatigue and low energy
• Dependance on caffeine throughout the day
• Wired but tired feeling
• Anxiety
• Feeling on edge and overwhelmed
• Noise sensitivity
• Dental issues
• Short fuse and emotional reactivity
• Difficulty relaxing
• Hard time falling asleep or staying asleep
• Muscle tension, muscle cramps, spasms, eye twitching, tight shoulders 
• PMS and cramping
• Constipation and sluggish bowels
• Bloating
• Poor tolerance to fiber
• Brain fog and trouble concentrating
• Migraines and headaches
• Heart palpitations
• Blood sugar swings
• Brittle nails
• Hair shedding and thinning
• Frequent sighing 

Magnesium is one of the first minerals to drop under stress — and when you restore it, the body often responds quicklywith better sleep, calmer moods, fewer cramps, and more balanced energy.

There are a few reasons you could have difficulty with magnesium and have the opposite reaction - you could be very depleted in potassium, sodium, b vitamins or other minerals. All minerals work together and are a game of co-factors if you find you are sensitive to magnesium I highly suggest joining Wild + Well-Fed and running mineral testing with me. I highly believe most everyone needs to be taking magnesium so we should figure it out! 

Magnesium is generally very safe and well-tolerated — especially in the gentle glycinate form — but there are a few situations where extra caution or medical supervision is needed. If you fall into any of the following categories, it’s best to consult with your doctor or trusted practitioner before supplementing:

• If you have kidney disease or impaired kidney function
• If you are taking medications that could interact with  magnesium like diuretics, antibiotics, bisphosphonates, heart medications, calcium channel blockers, proton pump inhibitors
• If your mineral status is impacting how you utilize magnesium -  While magnesium is crucial, minerals work in balance. If you’re severely depleted in sodium or potassium, for example, magnesium may not be well tolerated at first. (This is something you often see in HTMA testing.) If magnesium makes you feel worse — dizzy, lightheaded, or fatigued — it could be a sign that your mineral system needs a bit more support or balance before adding it in fully.

Most people can safely benefit from magnesium glycinate, but always check with your doctor if you’re on medications, have kidney issues, or are managing a chronic condition. This is not medical advice. 

Magnesium isn’t one-size-fits-all — how much you need depends on your stress levels, mineral status, and symptoms. That said, here are some general guidelines to help you get started:

For Adults:

Most women do well with 200–400 mg per day of magnesium, that would be two capsules of Wild+Well-Fed Magnesium — usually taken in the evening, since it supports relaxation and sleep.

• Start low: If you’re new to magnesium or sensitive, begin with ½ capsule to assess how your body responds.
• You can gradually work up to 1–2 full capsules, depending on your needs.
• Signs you may need more: constipation, sleep issues, anxiety, cramps, tension
• Signs you may need less: loose stools, dizziness, or fatigue (especially if your sodium or potassium is low)

For Kids:

Yes — magnesium glycinate can be safe and helpful for children when used properly, especially for:

• Bedtime struggles
• Growing pains or leg cramps
• Constipation
• Anxiety or emotional dysregulation

General Dosing Guidelines:

• 1–3 years: ~40–80 mg/day
• 4–8 years: ~80–130 mg/day
• 9–13 years: ~130–200 mg/day

Start with a tiny sprinkle of the powder from the capsule (mixed into applesauce, yogurt, or water) and increase slowly as tolerated. You don’t need a full capsule for little ones.

⚠️ Important note: Always consult with your pediatrician or practitioner before starting supplements for your child — especially if they’re on medications or have a medical condition.

Some other tips for best results:

• Take magnesium with food, ideally dinner
• Stay hydrated — minerals need fluid to do their job
• Pair it with a balanced intake of sodium + potassium (think: adrenal cocktails, broths, sea salt, coconut water)

This is not medical advice, please consult with your doctor.
