Description
Magnesium is one of those hard working minerals that simply doesn’t get the attention it deserves. It plays a key role in over 800 different chemical reactions in the body and is involved in everything from DNA synthesis, energy production and metabolism, to muscle strength, nerve function, heart rate regulation and bone building. Magnesium is also an active ingredient in alleviating constipation. That’s one busy mineral.
Unfortunately, magnesium deficiency is extremely common. Medications like antibiotics, corticosteroids, diuretics and contraceptives hinder our ability to absorb magnesium. Refining and processing strips magnesium from our food. Even agricultural soil and water are being depleted of magnesium. It is no wonder that 68% of adults have trouble getting enough from their diets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is CanPrev Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 200 and what does it support?
CanPrev Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 200 is a vegan capsule supplement providing 200 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule from a magnesium bisglycinate blend (glycine, magnesium oxide, magnesium bisglycinate chelate). It supports over 800 enzymatic reactions in the body, including energy production, DNA synthesis, muscle function, nerve signalling, heart rhythm regulation, and bone formation. The bisglycinate form is gentle on the digestive tract and approximately 20% higher in elemental magnesium content than other magnesium forms. 240 capsules per bottle. NPN 80015411.
Why is magnesium bisglycinate considered a superior form of magnesium supplementation?
Magnesium bisglycinate (or glycinate) chelates elemental magnesium between two glycine amino acid molecules. The amino acid chelation increases intestinal absorption by using active amino acid transport pathways rather than relying solely on passive diffusion, which is less efficient and concentration-dependent. This results in higher bioavailability and significantly less laxative effect compared to magnesium oxide or magnesium citrate. The glycine component also provides a mild calming effect. Magnesium deficiency is widespread — studies suggest 68% of adults do not meet daily requirements through diet alone, driven by soil depletion and food processing.
Who should use CanPrev Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 200, and how should it be taken?
This supplement is ideal for adults experiencing muscle cramps or tension, sleep difficulties, anxiety, fatigue, irregular heart rhythm, constipation, or those taking medications that deplete magnesium (antibiotics, corticosteroids, diuretics, oral contraceptives). Take one capsule daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider. The 240-capsule bottle provides an eight-month supply at one capsule per day. Pregnant and breastfeeding individuals should consult a physician. Individuals with kidney disease should avoid magnesium supplementation without medical supervision.
How does CanPrev Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 200 compare with other magnesium products in Canada?
CanPrev's bisglycinate uses a blend (glycine + magnesium oxide + magnesium bisglycinate chelate) that delivers 200 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule — a higher elemental dose than many bisglycinate-only products that provide 100 to 140 mg elemental per capsule. CanPrev was founded in 2005 by Tanya Salituro and approximately 25% of its team are licensed health practitioners (NDs, nutritionists, herbalists), embedding clinical perspective into formulation from the outset. The brand explicitly avoids fillers and uses therapeutic doses. At 240 capsules, this bottle offers exceptional value per dose. In 2025, CanPrev was acquired by Apotex, further expanding its distribution to 3,400+ Canadian retail locations.
What is CanPrev and are its supplements Health Canada approved?
CanPrev is a Canadian natural health supplement brand founded in 2005 by Tanya Salituro -- the name stands for Canadian + Preventive. All products are Health Canada licensed and manufactured at site-licensed, government-approved Canadian facilities, with each batch independently laboratory tested for potency, purity, and safety before release. The brand offers 445+ formulations across therapeutic categories including magnesium, amino acids, vitamin D, hormonal support, and women's health, distributed in 3,400+ Canadian retail locations and through naturopathic practitioners. In February 2025, CanPrev was acquired by Apotex, further expanding its distribution infrastructure.
How is CanPrev different from other Canadian supplement brands?
CanPrev's distinguishing feature is practitioner co-formulation: roughly 25% of the company team are licensed health practitioners -- naturopathic doctors, nutritionists, and herbalists -- meaning products are formulated with clinical input from the start, not adapted for retail after development. The brand consistently selects more bioavailable nutrient forms: methylcobalamin over cyanocobalamin for B12, magnesium bisglycinate over magnesium oxide, active folate (5-MTHF) over folic acid -- at therapeutic doses, and formulates without fillers or binders. This distinguishes CanPrev from mainstream supplement brands that use lower-cost, less-absorbed nutrient forms to reduce per-unit manufacturing costs.
