150mg elemental magnesium per capsule
(750mg magnesium glycinate)
Magnesium is one of the most commonly depleted minerals in patients undergoing cancer treatment. Chemotherapy, targeted therapies (including EGFR inhibitors such as cetuximab), chronic stress, inflammation, reduced appetite and altered absorption can all contribute to suboptimal magnesium status.
Magnesium glycinate is a highly absorbable, well-tolerated form bound to the amino acid glycine. It is gentle on the gut and far less likely to cause loose stools compared to other forms such as oxide or citrate — making it ideal during treatment phases where bowel stability matters.
Why Magnesium Matters in Cancer Care
Magnesium plays a critical regulatory role in:
Nervous system stability and stress resilience
Muscle function and prevention of cramping
Cardiac rhythm support
Electrolyte balance
Sleep quality
Energy production at the mitochondrial level
Inflammatory regulation
For patients receiving EGFR inhibitors (e.g. cetuximab), magnesium depletion is common and can contribute to fatigue, weakness and neuromuscular symptoms over time. Proactive magnesium support can help maintain stability and treatment tolerance.
Magnesium is also central to recovery phases — particularly when ongoing treatment places sustained metabolic demand on the body.
Why Glycinate?
Magnesium glycinate is preferred in oncology-support protocols because it:
Is highly bioavailable
Is gentle on the digestive tract
Supports calm nervous system regulation
Assists sleep quality without sedation
Minimises bowel irritation
The glycine component may also contribute to calming neurotransmitter balance and support restorative sleep — which is critical during active treatment.
When It’s Commonly Used
Magnesium glycinate is often included in supportive protocols for patients:
On targeted therapies that influence electrolyte balance
Experiencing fatigue or muscle tension
With disrupted sleep
With elevated stress physiology
Requiring gentle nervous system regulation
Suggested Use
Typically 1–2 capsules daily, often taken in the evening to support relaxation and sleep.
Dose may be adjusted based on clinical context and magnesium levels.
Each Capsule Contains
Magnesium glycinate 750mg
Providing elemental magnesium 150mg
Excipients: Hypromellose (capsule), Leucine, Colloidal Anhydrous Silica.
Clinical Perspective
This is a foundational support nutrient — not a stimulant or aggressive intervention. Its role is to help maintain internal stability, electrolyte balance and resilience while treatment is ongoing.
In many cases, consistency matters more than high dosing.
