Markets · CanadaPrivate label magnesium glycinate for Canadian brands
PharmaEurope makes private label magnesium glycinate in the European Union and already ships to Canada. PharmaEurope runs the whole project at its own plant: formula and sample, label and packaging design, printing, manufacturing, filling, quality control and export documents. One plant does all of it, so one company answers for the finished product. The ready-made capsule has 100 mg of elemental magnesium from 500 mg of magnesium bisglycinate, with vitamin B6. With your label it starts from 100 units, and production takes from 2 weeks. If you want your own glycinate formula (another dose, no B6, or tablets), it starts from 500 bottles and takes from 4 weeks, with a sample first. The label is designed and printed at the plant in English and French. Every batch ships with a specification and a Certificate of Analysis.

Who makes private label magnesium glycinate for Canadian brands?
PharmaEurope makes it at the group's certified plant in the European Union, and PharmaEurope already ships to Canada. These are the reasons a Canadian brand puts its magnesium glycinate there:
- One company from idea to finished pack. PharmaEurope helps you choose the ready-made bisglycinate capsule or another catalogue magnesium formula, or adjust one for you: a different dose, a swapped ingredient or a new flavour. It can also develop your own formula from your brief, with a sample before anything is produced. The same plant then designs and prints the label and packaging, manufactures and fills the product, tests every batch before release, prepares the documents for your importer and ships it. Nothing is printed before you approve it. The full list is on the services page.
- First run from 100 units on the ready-made bisglycinate capsule, so you can test one product before you commit to more stock.
- Your own formula from 500 bottles for capsules and tablets.
- English and French labels designed and printed at the plant, using the text your licence holder supplies.
- Certified EU plant: ISO 22000, GMP, HACCP, US FDA registered. Copies of the certificates go to your importer and licence holder on request.
- A specification and a Certificate of Analysis with every batch, and a 24-month standard shelf life.
- More than 25 years for the group, more than 70 specialists, and clients in 42 countries.
- Delivery EXW by default, FCA or DAP on request, with a reply within 24 hours, Monday to Friday.
What is in the ready-made magnesium glycinate capsule?
The PharmaEurope capsule has 100 mg of elemental magnesium from 500 mg of magnesium bisglycinate, with vitamin B6. Bisglycinate is the sole magnesium source in it, so the label can name one form instead of a blend.
Magnesium glycinate and magnesium bisglycinate are two names for the same form. The specification and the EU ingredients list usually say bisglycinate. 500 mg is the weight of bisglycinate in the capsule. 100 mg is the magnesium it supplies, and that is the figure in the nutrition table.
Can I get magnesium glycinate at another dose or in tablets?
Yes. Any glycinate dose, a version without vitamin B6, or a tablet is made as your own formula. PharmaEurope develops a sample to your brief and agrees it with you before production. Your own formula starts from 500 bottles for capsules and tablets and takes from 4 weeks. Magnesium powder in sachets is also your own formula: the standard run is from 300 kg of finished blend, and first runs have been produced from 100 units.
Which other magnesium forms can a Canadian brand put its label on?
Eleven ready-made magnesium formulas are in the PharmaEurope catalogue, in capsules, tablets and effervescent tablets. Each one can carry your label from 100 units, except effervescent tablets, which have a low minimum order in tubes of 20.
| Formula (as named in the catalogue) | Elemental magnesium | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Magnesium 100 mg (from 500 mg bisglycinate) + vitamin B6 | 100 mg | Capsules |
| Magnesium 200 mg (from citrate, buffered) + vitamin B6 5 mg | 200 mg | Tablets |
| Magnesium 115 mg (from 500 mg malate) + vitamin B6 | 115 mg | Capsules |
| Liposomal magnesium 75 mg (from liposomal citrate 656 mg) | 75 mg | Capsules |
| Magnesium 150 mg complex (bisglycinate, malate, taurate, citrate buffered) | 150 mg | Capsules |
| Magnesium 500 mg (from oxide) + vitamin B6 | 500 mg | Capsules |
| ZMA: magnesium 375 mg + zinc 27 mg + B6 1.4 mg | 375 mg | Tablets |
| Magnesium 100 mg (from citrate, buffered) + potassium 90 mg (from citrate) | 100 mg | Capsules |
| Effervescent magnesium 200 mg (source carbonate) + B6 2 mg | 200 mg | Effervescent tablets |
| Effervescent magnesium complex (bisglycinate, malate, citrate, carbonate) | As specified | Effervescent tablets |
| Magnesium 250 mg + potassium 250 mg | 250 mg | Effervescent tablets |
Some catalogue doses (500 mg, 375 mg and 250 mg of magnesium; 27 mg of zinc) are above the EFSA tolerable upper level for supplemental magnesium (250 mg a day) and zinc (25 mg a day); national maximum levels apply and PharmaEurope checks them for your target market at the quote. Full compositions and specifications come with the quote. More of the formulas are on the magnesium page.

How the minimum is set for each format is on the minimum order quantity page.
Can the magnesium label be printed in English and French?
Yes. PharmaEurope designs and prints the label and packaging at the plant in English and French. The licence holder supplies the regulatory text and the NPN. If you already have artwork, PharmaEurope prints yours at the plant.
“A batch does not leave the warehouse without a clean test report and a Certificate of Analysis. At the final stage we check the physical parameters — average weight, uniformity of mass and disintegration time; microbiological purity — yeasts and moulds within limits, no E. coli and no Salmonella — and heavy metals; the assay, meaning the real content of each active ingredient against what your label declares; and the seal — the induction membrane and the closure — so the product does not oxidise or take on moisture in transit.”
What can a magnesium label say in the EU?
When the product provides at least 15% of the NRV per daily portion (at least 56.25 mg of magnesium, 15% of the 375 mg NRV), the label can carry the authorised EU health claims. The NRV for magnesium is 375 mg a day. The wording comes from the EU Register of nutrition and health claims, Regulation (EU) No 432/2012:
- "Magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue."
- "Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance."
- "Magnesium contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system."
- "Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function."
The ready-made capsule has 100 mg of magnesium, which is above the 56.25 mg threshold. On a label, a health claim must be accompanied by a statement on the importance of a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle (Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, Article 10(2)). For a product sold in Canada, the wording on the label is the text your licence holder supplies with the NPN. PharmaEurope prints it in English and French.
How does a magnesium glycinate order get to Canada?
PharmaEurope delivers EXW at the plant by default, or FCA or DAP on request. Your Canadian importer or its broker clears the goods on arrival. Sea transit to Montreal takes about 11 days port to port from Rotterdam on the shortest published sailings; production comes first. Who holds which licence, and the CETA duty example, are on the Canada market page.
