Summary
Table of Contents
Magnesium bisglycinate chelate, or magnesium glycinate, is a “œchelated” form of the essential mineral magnesium, which translates to the addition of the amino acid glycine.
Why is this relevant?
This binding allows magnesium to be more absorbable, or more bioavailable, than other forms of magnesium, such as magnesium citrate or magnesium lactate.
It is also one of the only magnesium forms (also l-threonate) which can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Magnesium bisglycinate is supplemental for healthy bones, muscles, nerve transmission, circulation, temperature regulation and digestion.
Magnesium is a valuable mineral in the human body. It is a source of energy, supplements memory and learning, helps to reduce muscle soreness and fatigue, helps maintain normal bones and teeth, and promotes electrolyte balance. [1,2,3]
Why is magnesium so vital?
Magnesium is found in over 300 different enzymes in the human body, with over 3,700 magnesium building sites detected on human proteins.
Consequences associated with magnesium deficiency:
Magnesium is the second most common deficiency, after Vitamin D. This deficiency results from overconsumption of highly processed foods and the depletion of magnesium from soils and water. Due to its necessity, those affected from magnesium deficiencies most certainly feel the effects more than someone already receiving adequate magnesium through their diet.
Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate Benefits
Magnesium bisglycinate is touted for its ability to benefit healthy mood, sleep, cardiovascular health, and reduce muscular soreness.
Magnesium Bisglycinate Dosage
Note: Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate is extremely bitter. Consider masking the taste
Standard magnesium dosage ranges from 200 mg to 400 mg. The recommended daily dosage for women is 300 mg and for men is 400 mg.
Researchers believe that 600 mg daily is a better starting dose.
Difference between Glycinate and Bisglycinate Chelate
There are many different variations of Magnesium on the market. For example, Magnesium Glycinate and Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate are often sold as two different products. They are two different names for the same type of magnesium.
Magnesium Biglycinate “œChelate” is the full name of the product; “œchelate,” indicating that an amino acid has been bound to the mineral that is magnesium. This is the case for both Magnesium Glycinate and Bisglycinate Chelate.
Why is the Serving 2 Grams?
This powder is 10% magnesium by weight, so to take 200mg of magnesium, you will need two grams of Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate powder.
