Vitakruid Magnesium 150 Bisglycinate with 200mg L-Taurine Magnesium bound to glycine
Magnesium bisglycinate is a compound of magnesium and two (bis) molecules of the amino acid glycine. This sweet-tasting substance is non-essential, meaning our body produces the amino acid itself in the liver. Nevertheless, standalone glycine supplements are frequently used. Surgery, dieting, rapid growth, or strenuous exercise are factors that can make glycine supplementation a valuable addition to the diet.
By the way, you'll get a significant amount of glycine when you take Magnesium Bisglycinate 150. A magnesium bisglycinate compound that yields 150 mg of magnesium contains a whopping 600 mg of glycine!
Organic and chelated form
Magnesium malate, taurate, bisglycinate, and citrate are organically bound forms of magnesium. Inorganic forms of magnesium, such as magnesium chloride, magnesium oxide, and magnesium sulfate, are less bioavailable and therefore less well absorbed. For example, magnesium sulfate has a bioavailability of only 4%. This means that a dose of 200 mg of magnesium sulfate is only effective for a mere 8 mg.
Your daily diet generally contains inorganically bound magnesium. These are the forms found in the soil and absorbed by the plants you eat daily. Examples include magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate. Therefore, your body absorbs only a small portion of the magnesium you ingest from regular food.
The best forms we know of are magnesium chelates such as magnesium taurate, magnesium malate, and magnesium bisglycinate. The structure of an amino acid chelate is so strong that our stomach acid cannot break it down. This is due to the amino acids in the chelate form, which act as a protective layer for the magnesium. Magnesium bisglycinate thus reaches our intestines as a complete element, where our body then absorbs the valuable mineral. Furthermore, the amino acid chelation process reduces gastrointestinal complaints compared to unchelated forms of magnesium.
High absorbability of elemental magnesium
A label should always state the elemental amount of a mineral. The molecular compound of magnesium bisglycinate contains 20% elemental magnesium. That may not seem like much. But an elemental amount of 150 mg from 750 mg of magnesium bisglycinate is absorbed much better by our body than the same amount of elemental magnesium bound to, for example, citrate, oxide, or sulfate. And for magnesium, absorption of the mineral is a much more important criterion than quantity.
L-taurine provides synergistic effects
We've also added l-taurine to Magnesium Bisglycinate. This amino acid-like substance is found in significant quantities in meat, fish, and shellfish. Synergy was the driving force behind adding l-taurine to this formula. This intercellular substance promotes better absorption of magnesium bisglycinate, which also works at the intercellular level.
