Magnesium Bisglycinate
Lightly sweetened with Monk Fruit, with a hint of citrus, optimally absorbed, and well-tolerated*
- Glycine enhances solubility and absorption of magnesium bisglycinate by decreasing the pH of the intestines.*
- Glycine takes up space on the magnesium bisglycinate molecule, decreasing propensity to complex with plant-based phytates that can interfere with absorption.*
- The molecular structure of magnesium bisglycinate means less water will attach to the complex, which reduces the laxative effect typically seen in magnesium compounds.*
A crossover study found that serum levels of magnesium over eight hours were highest for magnesium bisglycinate, followed in order by dimagnesium malate, buffered magnesium bisglycinate, and magnesium oxide.*
Magnesium is essential for the health of the heart and blood vessels, brain, bones, skeletal muscles, lungs, and pancreas.* A low level of magnesium is associated with an increased level of C-reactive protein.* As a cofactor for at least 600 enzymes, magnesium supports numerous mechanisms of action, including:
- Relieves bronchial spasm*
- Modulates intracellular electrical activity*
- Relaxes smooth and skeletal muscle*
- Improves endothelial-dependent vasodilation*
- Enhances insulin sensitivity*
- Cofactor in numerous enzymes necessary for ATP (energy) production*
