Is there magnesium in LYTES?

YES - EACH SERVING CONTAINS 105MG OF MAGNESIUM FROM MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE

Magnesium glycinate is a chelated form of magnesium — meaning the mineral is bound to the amino acid glycine — which allows it to be absorbed through amino acid transport pathways in the gut, resulting in significantly higher bioavailability, better tissue uptake, and none of the laxative effects associated with cheaper forms like magnesium oxide or citrate.

This makes it one of the best forms of magnesium for everyday use — especially if you need a higher dose or have had stomach issues with other magnesium forms in the past.

On top of that, the glycine itself has a calming effect on the body, helping with better sleep, muscle relaxation, and recovery after workouts — so you get the benefits of the magnesium and the amino acid in one.
