The Next Step In Human Nutrition.
Complete daily nutrition engineered for bodies that evolved for a world which no longer exists.
A small range, built one product at a time.
We’re starting with the supplement most people get wrong without knowing it: magnesium glycinate, 100% non-buffered. More products are in development — each one built to the same rules.
Magnesium Glycinate by Evo Hominus™
100% non-buffered magnesium glycinate tablets. Three tablets give 440 mg of elemental magnesium from fully reacted magnesium bisglycinate — with about 2.7 g of glycine and zero magnesium oxide.

Same mineral. Different form.
Magnesium is a mineral from the earth. As cheap magnesium oxide it was only about 4% absorbed in one study. Bound to two glycine molecules as fully reacted magnesium bisglycinate, it becomes a gentle, well-absorbed chelate — and brings glycine with it.

India has a bioavailability gap.
Most Indian supplements list the right nutrients. Far fewer use forms your body absorbs well — or tell you what’s really in the tablet. That difference is chemistry, not marketing.
Cheap form, big number
Magnesium oxide, folic acid, cyanocobalamin, pyridoxine — low-cost forms that your body absorbs poorly or must convert first. They make the label number look large.
Less reaches your cells
Magnesium oxide was only about 4% absorbed in one study, and over 60 days it did no better than placebo. Even “magnesium glycinate” is often buffered with oxide to raise the number.
The right form, nothing hidden
Our Magnesium Glycinate is 100% fully reacted magnesium bisglycinate — no oxide, so every milligram of magnesium comes from the gentle, well-absorbed form, with its glycine intact.
Same label. Very different chemistry. Two bottles can both say “magnesium glycinate 440 mg” — and one of them can be half oxide.
What is bioavailability, and why does the supplement form matter?
Bioavailability is how much of a nutrient your body actually absorbs and uses. Two supplements can both list 440 mg of magnesium, but magnesium oxide was only about 4% absorbed in one study, while fully reacted magnesium bisglycinate is a well-absorbed form. The form on the label decides how much reaches your cells.
Non-buffered vs buffered magnesium glycinate vs oxide.
Three things that can all be sold as “magnesium”, compared on the numbers that matter. Values are for a 440 mg magnesium serving.
| Measure | Magnesium oxide | Buffered glycinate (typical) | Non-buffered glycinate — Evo Hominus™ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glycine per servingCalming amino acid, carried by the chelate | None | About 1.4 g | About 2.7 g |
| Magnesium from the chelateShare not coming from oxide | 0% | About half | 100% |
| Magnesium % in the label mathHigher isn’t better — it signals oxide | About 60% | 18–22% | 12% |
| Magnesium oxide addedThe cheap form most linked to loose stools | All of it | About half the magnesium | 0 mg |
Is non-buffered magnesium glycinate better than buffered?
For most people, yes. Non-buffered magnesium glycinate gets all of its magnesium from the gentle glycinate chelate, with no magnesium oxide added. A typical buffered product at the same 440 mg dose gets about half its magnesium from oxide and carries roughly half the glycine — about 1.4 g instead of 2.7 g.
Glycine and chelate share are calculated for a typical buffered product listing 2,000 mg glycinate and 440 mg magnesium, assuming fully reacted bisglycinate is about 14% magnesium and magnesium oxide about 60%. Real buffered products vary. Oxide absorption: Firoz & Graber 2001; Walker 2003.
Is your magnesium glycinate buffered?
Type in two numbers from any magnesium glycinate label — the magnesium and the magnesium glycinate (or bisglycinate) amount, per serving. We’ll do the sum.
How it works: fully reacted magnesium bisglycinate is about 12–14% magnesium by weight. Magnesium oxide is about 60%, so mixing it in pushes the percentage up. A result of 18% or more almost always means oxide has been added. This is a quick check, not a lab test — ask the brand for its certificate of analysis to be sure.
What magnesium glycinate does, once it gets inside.
Magnesium wording follows the EU’s authorised nutrient-function claims. Glycine is described through its human studies. Sources are listed at the bottom of this page. Claims are ingredient-based and not specific to this product.
What does magnesium glycinate do in the body?
A magnesium supplement in the glycinate form delivers magnesium, which contributes to normal muscle and nervous-system function, normal psychological function, electrolyte balance, energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. The glycinate form also carries glycine, a calming amino acid: in human studies, 3 g before bed improved sleep quality and next-day alertness. Studies measured changes over four to eight weeks.
Evening Wind-Down
Magnesium bisglycinate is the form tested in a 2025 trial of 155 adults with poor sleep, where it improved insomnia scores more than placebo in four weeks. Each serving also carries about 2.7 g of glycine. In human studies, 3 g of glycine before bed improved how well people slept and how fresh they felt the next day.
[Schuster 2025 PMID 40918053 · Yamadera 2007 · Bannai 2012]
Calm Mind, Steady Nerves
Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function and the normal functioning of the nervous system. In stressed adults with low magnesium, 300 mg a day reduced how stressed they felt over eight weeks. One serving here gives 440 mg.
[EU Reg. 432/2012 · Pouteau 2018]
Muscle Function & Recovery
Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and electrolyte balance. In a small trial, magnesium glycinate at 350 mg a day reduced soreness after hard training and improved how recovered people felt.
[EU Reg. 432/2012 · Reno 2022 PMID 33009349]
Less Tiredness
Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal energy-yielding metabolism. In adults kept on short sleep, 3 g of glycine at bedtime reduced next-day sleepiness and fatigue.
[EU Reg. 432/2012 · Bannai 2012 PMID 22529837]
Bones, Teeth & Protein Use
Magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth and to normal protein synthesis — useful whether you lift, run, or simply want to age well.
[EU Reg. 432/2012]
Gentle on the Stomach
Magnesium bisglycinate was better tolerated than magnesium oxide in a clinical study. Non-buffered means no oxide at all — the form most linked to loose stools.
[Schuette 1994 PMID 7815675]

Nutritiondidn’t.
Two hundred thousand years of human biology, dropped into fluorescent light, processed food, and depleted soil. Your genes expect a world you no longer live in. Evo Hominus™ is nutrition re-engineered to close that gap — bioavailable, evidence-informed, built for the body you actually have.
From adaptation to optimization.
Primitive Human
Nutrient-dense, foraged food. Constant movement. Sunlight-driven rhythm. Biology and environment in balance.
Modern Human
Same biology. Depleted soil, processed food, artificial light, chronic stress. The gap widens every year.
Optimised Human
Nutrition built to compensate — bioavailable vitamin forms and precisely dosed minerals for a body under modern load.
Built for people who read labels.
Nine kinds of Indians we built Evo Hominus™ around. If you’re one of them, you’ll recognise the choices we made.
For long workdays and early training
The Working Professional
Ten-hour days, late emails, a mind that won’t switch off at 11 pm. Three magnesium tablets in the evening support your nervous system and your wind-down, with glycine studied for sleep quality.
The 30+ Adult
The decade when sleep gets lighter and recovery slower. Magnesium supports normal muscle function, normal bones and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
The Vegetarian
Dal, rice, roti and sabzi can leave gaps. Our tablets are vegetarian, and our coming-soon multivitamin is being built for vegetarian diets too.
The Lifter
You know magnesium matters for muscle and recovery. Our Magnesium Glycinate gives 440 mg of it from a true chelate — not oxide.
The HYROX / Endurance Athlete
Long sessions and sweat raise the stakes on minerals. Magnesium supports electrolyte balance and normal muscle function, without the gut trouble of oxide.
The Woman Reading the Label
India’s daily magnesium allowance for women is 370 mg, so two tablets (about 293 mg) fit it. Every number is on the label so you can decide for yourself.
The Urban Indian
Refined grains, processed food and long commutes. Many urban Indian diets fall short of the magnesium allowance — a gap that’s easy to close with the right form.
The Protein-Powder User
You’ve picked a protein you trust. Minerals are the piece most stacks skip — and magnesium contributes to normal protein synthesis.
The Label-Reader
You already ask “is this buffered?” We show the 12% math and every ingredient in the tablet, so you never have to guess.

12% magnesium — the range of a true chelate. Check it yourself above.
The evidence
Human studies named and linked, with their limits stated plainly.
The paperwork
Our FSSAI licence number on every label once issued, and the certificate of analysis for any batch on request.
“People’s trust is what drives us. We don’t manufacture things that we can’t have ourselves.”
— The founders, Evo Hominus™
Minerals work on a slow clock.
Magnesium doesn’t give a caffeine-shaped signal. Here’s the honest picture of how the research measured it.
Build the habit
Three tablets, mostly in the evening. Consistency matters more than anything else.
Where the sleep trial measured
The 2025 magnesium bisglycinate trial measured its improvement in insomnia scores at four weeks.
Where the stress trial measured
In stressed adults with low magnesium, the reduction in perceived stress was measured at eight weeks.
These are study timelines, not a promise about your results. Response varies with your starting magnesium, diet, sleep and training load.
Three tablets. One calm routine.
Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function and normal muscle function, and the glycine in every serving has been studied before bed for sleep quality. Studies measured changes over four to eight weeks of daily use — so make it a habit, not a one-off.
- 1With dinnerOne tablet, with water
- 2An hour before bedTwo tablets — completing 440 mg for the day
- ♀WomenTwo tablets in total, about 293 mg
Small habits, spread across your day.
Morning
Daylight, water and a real breakfast. Our Bioactive Multivitamin is being built for this moment. Coming soon.
With a Meal
Fat-soluble vitamins and the omega-3 fats in fish, walnuts and flaxseed are absorbed best with food. Make one meal a day properly balanced.
Training
Magnesium supports normal muscle function and electrolyte balance on the days you push hard. Protein and sleep do the rest.
Evening
Magnesium Glycinate by Evo Hominus™: one tablet with dinner, two about an hour before bed — with about 2.7 g of glycine, studied for sleep quality.
The Long Game
Food first, then fill the real gaps. Steady daily habits beat occasional big doses.
