Vitakruid Magnesium 150 Bisglycinate with 200mg L-TaurineMagnesium bound to glycine
Magnesium bisglycinate is a compound of magnesium and two (bis) molecules of the amino acid glycine. The 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, diet, rapid growth, or intense athletic activity are factors that can make glycine supplementation a valuable addition to the diet.
Incidentally, you get a significant amount of glycine when you use Magnesium Bisglycinate 150. A magnesium bisglycinate compound that results in 150 mg of magnesium contains no less than 600 mg of glycine!
Organic and chelated form
Magnesium malate, taurate, bisglycinate, and citrate are organically bound forms of magnesium. Inorganic magnesium forms such as magnesium chloride, magnesium oxide, and magnesium sulfate are less bioavailable and therefore less absorbed. For example, magnesium sulfate has a bioavailability of only 4%. This means that a dose of 200 mg of magnesium sulfate is effective for only a meager 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. Your body therefore absorbs only a small part of the magnesium you get from regular food.
The best forms we know 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 split the form. This is due to the amino acids in the chelate form, which act as a protective layer for the magnesium. The magnesium bisglycinate thus reaches our intestines as a complete element, where our body then absorbs the valuable mineral. Furthermore, the amino acid-chelated character results in fewer gastrointestinal complaints, compared to unchelated magnesium forms.
High absorbability of elemental magnesium
The elemental amount of a mineral should always be stated on a label. 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 much better absorbed by our body than the same amount of elemental magnesium bound to, for example, citrate, oxide, or sulfate. And for magnesium, the absorption of the mineral is a much more important criterion than quantity.
L-taurine provides synergistic effect
In addition, we have added L-taurine to Magnesium Bisglycinate. This amino acid-like substance is found in significant quantities in meat, fish, and shellfish. For this formula, synergy was the motivation to add L-taurine. After all, the intercellular substance ensures better absorption of magnesium bisglycinate, which is also active at the intercellular level.
