What’s inside this formula?
Thorne’s Magnesium Bisglycinate — Travel Packs is listed here in the magnesium collection. This article looks at the selected 30 stick packs; 3.8 g each (one stick pictured) pack, then puts its ingredients into context.
Each 3.8 g stick supplies 200 mg elemental magnesium as magnesium bisglycinate; the other ingredients are citric acid and monk-fruit extract.
Check the original label ↗Magnesium participates in muscle and nerve function and many enzyme reactions. Products use different salts and chelates, so the total compound weight can look much larger than the magnesium actually supplied. Begin with the elemental magnesium on the panel and the number of tablets or capsules in a serving.
The pack details above come from the manufacturer. Ingredient research below does not establish the effects of this exact product or independently verify its contents.
Elemental magnesium is the comparison
The 200 mg declaration measures magnesium itself, not the total weight of its bisglycinate compound. The remaining stick weight includes the compound and other ingredients.
A matching individual travel stick
The credited photograph shows one real 3.8 g stick. The current official travel pack contains 30 matching sticks; the panel and full ingredients agree. Mix one stick in at least 8 US fluid ounces of water as labelled.
Count all supplemental magnesium
The US adult upper limit is 350 mg daily from supplements and medicines, excluding food magnesium, unless a clinician directs otherwise. Two sticks provide 400 mg; take account of overlapping multivitamins and antacids.
Where might it be useful?
Normal muscle and nerve function
Adequate magnesium contributes to normal signalling and muscle activity.
Meeting an intake gap
A suitable supplement can add magnesium when food intake is inadequate or a clinician identifies a need.
What the research can — and cannot — tell us
An essential role in the body does not establish that every form improves sleep, anxiety or cramp symptoms. Differences in tolerability and absorption do not translate into a universal best product. Compare the mineral amount, complete formula and practical serving before making conclusions.
What deserves your attention?
May cause diarrhoea or bloating. Kidney impairment increases toxicity risk; magnesium can reduce absorption of some antibiotics and oral bisphosphonates. Ask a pharmacist about spacing medicines.
Suitability comes before strength
Supplemental magnesium can cause diarrhoea. Kidney impairment can increase risk from magnesium accumulation, and some medicines require separation or review; ask a pharmacist or clinician.
