Magnesium Glycinate in Flow Nerves: What to Know
Flow Nerves names magnesium glycinate, magnesium joined to the amino acid glycine, as one of six blend names. The amount is not printed. NIH sets 350 mg a day as the adult limit from supplements and medicines, so a hidden amount is a good reason to ask a pharmacist first.

What is magnesium glycinate?
It is magnesium, a needed mineral, bound to glycine, an amino acid.
Magnesium helps muscles and nerves work, and food such as greens, nuts and whole grains supplies most of it. Glycinate is one supplement form. People often pick it hoping it is gentler on the stomach, but the sources we read do not compare forms, so that is a general claim and not a finding about this capsule. The full story is on the magnesium glycinate page.
How much magnesium is in a Flow Nerves capsule?
The brief does not say. The six names share one proprietary blend with no milligrams.
That matters because magnesium has a ceiling. The NIH upper limit for magnesium from supplements and medicines is 350 mg a day for adults, and food magnesium is not counted 1. A product with a hidden amount cannot be set against that number. If you also use a magnesium supplement, an antacid or a laxative that contains it, the total adds up.
| Source | Counts toward the 350 mg limit? |
|---|---|
| Food (greens, nuts, grains) | No |
| A magnesium supplement | Yes |
| An antacid or laxative with magnesium | Yes |
| Flow Nerves capsule | Yes, but the amount is not printed |
What side effects and interactions does NIH list?
Too much from supplements can cause diarrhea, nausea and cramps, and very high amounts can disturb the heartbeat.
NIH adds that magnesium supplements can interact with some antibiotics (they are taken apart), bisphosphonates, diuretics and acid-reflux drugs 1. Memorial Sloan Kettering says supplements, antacids or laxatives with magnesium can interact with many drugs, and that people with heart, kidney or bowel disorders should avoid supplements unless a doctor says otherwise 2.
Flow Nerves is a dietary supplement, not a drug and not a neuropathy medicine. Ask your doctor or pharmacist first if you take diabetes medicine or insulin, a blood thinner, blood pressure medicine, an antibiotic or any other prescription, if you have kidney or liver disease, or if you are pregnant, nursing or under 18. Keep taking prescribed medicine, and keep your checkups. See side effects and interactions.

See packsWhat should you ask a pharmacist?
Bring the bottle and your medicine list.
- Do I take an antibiotic, bone medicine, diuretic or acid-reflux medicine that magnesium can interact with?
- Do I already take magnesium in another product?
- Do my kidneys or heart change the answer?
- How should I space doses from my other medicines?
Keep taking prescribed medicine as directed. Never stop or change one because of what you read online.
Is magnesium reason enough to try the capsule?
Not by itself. No source tested this capsule, and mineral needs differ person to person.
