Magnesium glycinate, also known as magnesium diglycinate or magnesium bisglycinate, is the magnesium salt of glycine (one magnesium atom and two glycine molecules), and is sold as a dietary supplement.[1][2] It contains 14.1% elemental magnesium by mass.

Magnesium glycinate is also often "buffered" with magnesium oxide but it is also available in its pure non-buffered magnesium glycinate[3] form.
