Frequently Asked Questions
What is CanPrev Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 400 Powder, and what is it used for?
CanPrev Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 400 Powder is a pure, unflavored magnesium supplement delivering 400 mg of elemental magnesium per scoop as TRAACS® magnesium bisglycinate chelate. Magnesium participates in over 800 enzymatic reactions in the body, including energy production, DNA synthesis, muscle contraction, heart rhythm regulation, nerve signaling, and bone formation. The powder format is designed for adults with digestive sensitivities — including those with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis — who need magnesium supplementation but cannot tolerate harder-to-digest forms. Adults mix half to one scoop into water or a beverage daily.
What are the key ingredients in CanPrev Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 400 Powder?
The sole active ingredient is magnesium bisglycinate, formulated using Albion's TRAACS® (The Real Amino Acid Chelate System) — a patented chelation process verified by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to confirm true chelation integrity. TRAACS bisglycinate bonds magnesium to two glycine molecules, enabling absorption via amino acid transporters in the small intestine rather than the capacity-limited magnesium channels used by oxide and citrate forms. Excipients are citric acid and silica only — no fillers, binders, or artificial ingredients.
Who should take CanPrev Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 400 Powder, and how is it used?
Intended for magnesium-deficient adults or those with elevated needs, including people on antibiotics, corticosteroids, diuretics, or oral contraceptives (which impair magnesium absorption), individuals with Crohn's disease or colitis, and active people with high sweat-related mineral losses. Mix half to one scoop (200–400 mg magnesium) into water or a beverage once daily, with or without food, or as directed by a healthcare provider. The powder form allows flexible half-dose use for those who are sensitive. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a physician before use.
How does CanPrev Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 400 Powder differ from standard magnesium supplements?
The key differentiator is TRAACS® — Albion's patented amino acid chelation technology, the only magnesium form confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy for true chelation. Clinical and comparative data show TRAACS magnesium bisglycinate absorbs up to 6 times more efficiently than magnesium oxide; a 2021 meta-analysis (Zhang et al.) confirmed it is better tolerated than other forms at therapeutic doses, with fewer GI side effects while achieving the same serum magnesium gains. At 400 mg elemental magnesium per scoop, this product delivers approximately 20% more elemental magnesium than many competing bisglycinate formulas. The powder format with only two excipients (citric acid and silica) is among the cleanest available and allows flexible half-dose titration that capsule products cannot offer.
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.
