What is the difference between magnesium bisglycinate and other forms of magnesium?

In magnesium bisglycinate, the magnesium is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine (an amino acid chelate). This form is regarded as particularly gentle on the stomach and well tolerated. Inorganic forms such as magnesium oxide also supply magnesium but are sometimes perceived as less gentle on the stomach.

Bisglycinate or magnesium citrate – which suits me?

Both supply readily available magnesium. Magnesium bisglycinate (a chelate) is regarded as particularly gentle on the stomach, while magnesium citrate is a well-established, readily soluble form. The choice is mainly a question of personal tolerance and preference.

When is the best time to take magnesium?

The timing is flexible – morning or evening. Choose the moment that fits well into your daily routine and take the magnesium with a little liquid.

Is the product vegan?

Yes. The capsule shell is made from plant-based cellulose and contains no animal-derived ingredients.

Can I take magnesium long-term?

Magnesium is an essential mineral. Stick to the recommended daily serving amount and do not exceed it on a permanent basis.

Description

Product description

Magnesium Bisglycinate supplies the essential mineral magnesium in the form of magnesium bisglycinate – an amino acid chelate in which magnesium is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. Magnesium is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in the body. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Ingredients & bioavailability

As an amino acid chelate, the magnesium is bound to glycine – a small amino acid that occurs naturally in the body. Chelated magnesium forms such as bisglycinate are known for their good tolerability and are generally perceived as gentler on the stomach than inorganic salts (e.g. magnesium oxide) – an advantage for those with a sensitive stomach and for daily, longer-term intake.

Quality & safety

Every batch is tested in independent German laboratories for heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury) and microbial contamination. Production takes place to GMP standards in Germany. The capsule shell is made from plant-based cellulose – vegan and free from flavourings, sweeteners and colourings.

Use & combination

Take daily as recommended with a little liquid. Magnesium is a sensible complement to an active routine and combines well with our Zinc Pure Bisglycinate. When taking several high-dose minerals, spreading intake across the day is advisable.
