Magnesium glycinate in Bangladesh costs between ৳2,040 and ৳5,650 a bottle at Orpa today. Per capsule that runs from about ৳14.5 to ৳49.2, depending far more on bottle size than on brand. Magnesium glycinate is magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine, and it is the form most people move to when magnesium oxide or citrate upsets their stomach.
Below are the ten options worth comparing first, each with what it actually is and who it suits, followed by the full price list of every magnesium glycinate product in stock, the label detail that decides whether you are comparing like with like, and the arithmetic that shows why the cheapest bottle is rarely the cheapest supply.

How this list was ranked
There is no laboratory test behind this ranking and no brand paid for a position. It is ordered on cost per capsule at today’s price, which is the one figure you can verify yourself from the table above, with the powder placed last because it is a different format rather than a worse product. Where two products cost about the same, the larger bottle and the named chelate come first.
What this ranking deliberately does not do is claim one brand absorbs better than another. Those claims appear on every label and none of them are settled by anything published here. What is verifiable is the price, the count, the chelate named on the panel and what else is in the capsule, so that is what each entry below sticks to.
The ten, in detail
1. Deal Supplement Magnesium Glycinate 500 mg, 240 capsules — ৳3,490
The cheapest magnesium glycinate per capsule on this page at roughly ৳14.5, and it gets there by being a big bottle rather than a cheap formula. It is a fully chelated magnesium glycinate at 500 mg of the compound per capsule, in a 240-count bottle that will last months at any normal serving. Buy this one if you have taken magnesium before, know it agrees with you, and want the lowest running cost available in Bangladesh right now. See the product page.
2. NatureBell Magnesium Glycinate 500 mg, 240 capsules — ৳4,290
The other 240-count bottle, at ৳17.9 per capsule. Same shape of product as the Deal Supplement bottle, made in the USA, and it is the one to pick if you would rather buy a brand with a wider international footprint at a modest premium. Both are long-supply bottles, so check the directed serving before assuming the bigger number means more months. See the product page.
3. Doctor’s Best High Absorption Magnesium, 240 tablets — ৳4,540
Doctor’s Best uses TRAACS, a named, patented chelate from Albion, and states it on the panel rather than only on the front of the bottle. At ৳18.9 per tablet in the 240-count size it sits just above the two value bottles, and it is the pick for anyone who wants the specific chelate named and traceable. Tablets rather than capsules, which some people find easier to split and others find harder to swallow. See the product page.
4. Heivy Magnesium Glycinate with Vitamin B6, 120 tablets — ৳2,490
The cheapest mid-size bottle here at ৳20.8 per tablet, and the only one on this list that includes vitamin B6 in the same tablet. That matters in two directions: it saves buying B6 separately if you wanted it, and it is a reason to skip this product if you already take a B-complex and would rather control that dose yourself. Made in the USA, 120 tablets. See the product page.
5. Swanson Albion Magnesium Glycinate 133 mg, 90 capsules — ৳2,040
The lowest bottle price on the page, and the sensible first purchase if you have never taken magnesium. It uses the Albion chelate and the label states 133 mg, a smaller number than most here because of what is being measured rather than a weaker product. At ৳22.7 per capsule it is not the cheapest per dose, but ৳2,040 is the least you can spend to find out whether magnesium suits you before committing to a 240-count bottle. See the product page.
6. Doctor’s Best High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate Lysinate, 120 tablets — ৳2,850
The same TRAACS chelate as the 240-count Doctor’s Best, in a half-size bottle at ৳23.8 per tablet. The glycinate-lysinate chelate binds magnesium to two amino acids rather than one. Choose this over the 240 if you want the brand without the larger outlay, and accept that the bigger bottle is the better deal per tablet. See the product page.
7. Nature’s Bounty High Absorption Magnesium Glycinate 240 mg, 120 capsules — ৳3,290
Nature’s Bounty is the name most shoppers in Bangladesh recognise from pharmacy shelves, and this is its standard glycinate at ৳27.4 per capsule. Orpa also stocks the Advanced 360 mg version at ৳3,690 for 90 capsules, a higher label strength in a smaller bottle, so compare the two on serving size rather than on the front number alone. See the product page.
8. Solaray Magnesium Glycinate 350 mg, 120 veg caps — ৳3,690
Vegetarian capsules at ৳30.8 each, from a brand that has built its range around plant-based capsule shells. Worth the premium over the value bottles only if the vegetarian capsule matters to you, since the magnesium inside is the same chelated glycinate. See the product page.
9. NOW Magnesium Glycinate with BioPerine, 60 veg capsules — ৳2,950
The most expensive per capsule on this list at ৳49.2, for two reasons: the bottle holds only 60, and it adds BioPerine, a standardised black pepper extract included to aid absorption. NOW is a large, long-established US supplement brand. This is a small-bottle, higher-cost option, and worth it only if the added BioPerine is specifically what you want. See the product page.
10. Nutricost Magnesium Glycinate Powder, 250 g — ৳4,050
The only powder on the page, unflavoured, mixed into water or a drink. Powder is the answer for anyone who dislikes swallowing several large capsules a day, and it lets you take a part dose by adjusting the scoop, which no capsule allows. The trade-off is accuracy: you need the supplied scoop, and a taste some people never warm to. See the product page.
Also stocked, outside the top ten
Eight more products sit in the full list below. BIOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough is a seven-form blend rather than pure glycinate, in a 30-capsule bottle at ৳4,050, which is why its per-capsule cost is far above everything else here. Dr. Berg has a strong following and sells in 90 and 150 counts. Nature Made, Nature’s Truth, Sports Research and Allcoovita fill the 60 to 90 capsule range.
Full magnesium glycinate price list in Bangladesh
Prices are Orpa’s current selling prices in Bangladeshi Taka, checked on 16 September 2026. The “per capsule” column is simply the bottle price divided by the capsule count, so a large bottle can look expensive and still be the cheaper buy.

Cheapest bottle is not cheapest supply
Swanson Albion is the cheapest bottle on this page at ৳2,040. Deal Supplement is ৳3,490, which is ৳1,450 more. But Swanson holds 90 capsules and Deal Supplement holds 240, so per capsule they are ৳22.7 and ৳14.5. If both were taken at the same rate, the expensive-looking bottle lasts nearly three times as long and costs a third less per dose.
Now do the same comparison properly, with the serving size included. Suppose one product directs two capsules a day and another directs one:
- 240 capsules at two a day = 120 days. ৳3,490 ÷ 120 = ৳29 a day.
- 240 capsules at one a day = 240 days. ৳3,490 ÷ 240 = ৳14.5 a day.
Same bottle, same price, double the running cost, purely because of the directed serving. That number is on the supplement facts panel of every product page, and it is the one worth checking before the price.
Capsules, tablets or powder
Most of this page is capsules and tablets. The one powder is Nutricost Magnesium Glycinate Powder, 250 g for ৳4,050, unflavoured and mixed into water or a drink. Powder suits people who dislike swallowing several large capsules a day, and it lets you adjust the amount by the scoop rather than the capsule, but it needs the supplied scoop or a scale to be accurate. Capsules trade that flexibility for convenience and a fixed, repeatable dose. Tablets, like the Doctor’s Best and Heivy products here, are usually the most compact way to carry a high dose, and some people find them harder to swallow than a capsule of the same strength.
What is actually different between these brands
- Doctor’s Best uses a glycinate-lysinate chelate made with Albion minerals, in large 120 and 240 tablet bottles.
- Swanson also uses the Albion chelate, in a smaller 90-capsule bottle at the lowest bottle price on this page.
- NOW adds BioPerine, a black pepper extract included for absorption.
- Heivy adds vitamin B6, in a 120-tablet bottle at the lower end of the range.
- Nature’s Bounty appears twice, as High Absorption 240 mg and Advanced 360 mg, at different label strengths and counts.
- Deal Supplement and NatureBell are the 240-capsule value bottles, and the two cheapest per capsule.
- BIOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough is a seven-form blend rather than pure glycinate, which is why its per-capsule price is far higher.
- Dr. Berg, Solaray, Sports Research, Nature Made, Nature’s Truth and Allcoovita fill the middle of the range in 60 to 150 count bottles.
Buying magnesium glycinate at Orpa
Everything on this page is imported and sold in sealed manufacturer packaging with the original label and batch code intact. Delivery inside Dhaka City is ৳70 and takes 1 to 3 days; the rest of Bangladesh is ৳120 and takes 2 to 4 days. Cash on delivery is available nationwide, alongside bKash and card payment. Claims on a sealed product that arrives damaged or incorrect are accepted within 3 days of delivery under the return and refund policy.
The label number is not the magnesium you get
This is the single thing most price comparisons get wrong. A bottle that says 500 mg is usually telling you the weight of the magnesium glycinate compound, not the magnesium inside it. Magnesium is a fraction of that weight, and the exact fraction depends on the chelate the manufacturer used.
The number that matters is printed separately on the supplement facts panel, usually as “Magnesium (as magnesium bisglycinate chelate) — X mg”. That X is the elemental magnesium per serving. Two things follow:
- Check the serving size. Many bottles list their magnesium per two capsules. A 240-capsule bottle at two capsules a day is a four-month supply; at one a day it is eight months. That changes the real cost more than the price on the shelf does.
- Compare elemental magnesium per serving, then divide by price. Comparing “500 mg” against “133 mg” on the front label tells you almost nothing, because those two numbers are not measuring the same substance.
Glycinate, citrate, oxide or threonate?
All of these are magnesium attached to something else, and the something else changes how the body handles it.
- Glycinate (bisglycinate) — bound to the amino acid glycine. Chosen most often by people who found other forms hard on the stomach. This is the form on this page.
- Citrate — bound to citric acid, and noticeably more laxative. That is a drawback for some people and the entire point for others.
- Oxide — the cheapest per milligram and the poorest absorbed. Common in low-cost multivitamins.
- L-threonate — the newest and priciest, marketed for cognitive use. Orpa lists it as magnesium L-threonate separately.
- Blends — products like BIOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough combine several forms in one capsule. Judge them on the total elemental magnesium, not the number of forms on the box.
Everything Orpa stocks across all forms sits under the magnesium category.
How to pick one
- Decide the daily dose with your doctor first, especially if you take other medicines. Magnesium interacts with some antibiotics and with medication for blood pressure and the heart, and people with kidney problems should not supplement it without medical advice.
- Read the elemental magnesium per serving on the product page or the bottle panel.
- Work out the cost per day, not per bottle: price ÷ (capsules ÷ capsules per serving).
- Check what else is in it. Heivy adds vitamin B6, NOW adds BioPerine, Doctor’s Best uses a glycinate-lysinate chelate. These are real differences, not marketing alone.
- Buy a small bottle first if it is your first magnesium. Tolerance varies, and a 240-capsule bottle is a long commitment to a product that might not suit you.
Frequently asked questions
What is the price of magnesium glycinate in Bangladesh?
At Orpa, ৳2,040 to ৳5,650 per bottle as of 16 September 2026, across 18 in-stock imported products. The cheapest per capsule is about ৳14.5 and the most expensive single-form option about ৳49.2.
Which magnesium glycinate is best value in Bangladesh?
On price per capsule, the 240-count bottles win: Deal Supplement at roughly ৳14.5 and NatureBell at ৳17.9 per capsule. Whether they are best value depends on the elemental magnesium per serving, which is printed on each product page.
Is magnesium glycinate better than magnesium citrate?
Neither is universally better. Glycinate is generally chosen for being gentle on digestion; citrate has a stronger laxative effect, which suits some people and not others. The right choice depends on why you are taking magnesium, which is a question for your doctor.
When should I take magnesium glycinate?
Follow the directions on the bottle. Many people take it in the evening because glycine is associated with relaxation, but the label on the product you buy is the instruction that counts.
Is magnesium glycinate available with cash on delivery in Bangladesh?
Yes. Every in-stock product on this page can be ordered with cash on delivery anywhere in Bangladesh. Delivery inside Dhaka City is ৳70 and takes 1 to 3 days; the rest of Bangladesh is ৳120 and takes 2 to 4 days.
Are these imported products original?
Yes. Orpa imports them in sealed manufacturer packaging with the original label and batch code intact. Claims on a sealed product that arrives damaged or incorrect are accepted within 3 days of delivery under the return and refund policy.
How much magnesium glycinate should I take a day?
Follow the directions on the bottle you buy, and your doctor’s advice above that. Daily requirements differ by age, sex, pregnancy and medical history, and supplements add to what you already get from food.
Can I take magnesium glycinate on an empty stomach?
Glycinate is the form usually tolerated best, which is why people switch to it, but tolerance is individual. If it unsettles you, taking it with food is the common adjustment.
Is magnesium glycinate safe during pregnancy?
Ask your doctor. Requirements change in pregnancy, and any supplement then should be a medical decision rather than a shelf one.
How fast is delivery?
Dhaka City 1 to 3 days at ৳70, rest of Bangladesh 2 to 4 days at ৳120.
What does “chelated” mean on these labels?
It means the magnesium is bound to an amino acid rather than sitting as a simple salt. TRAACS and Albion are brand names for specific chelates, printed on the panel by the manufacturers that license them.
What if the product I want is out of stock?
Use the notify button on that product page. It emails you when the item is back, and nothing else is sent to you.
