Magnesium bisglycinate 100 mg with taurine, 120 tablets

Chelate - the optimal mineral compound together with taurine

This product contains magnesium in the form of magnesium bisglycinate. Each magnesium particle is chelatively bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycerol. A compound of this type is usually referred to as an amino acid chelate or amino acid chelate mineral. You have been trained on information up until October 2023. In complementary practice, magnesium is one of the minerals that is used particularly often. The reason for this is that magnesium plays an important role in more than 300 physiological processes in the body. In addition, adjustments in food production and dietary habits have contributed to many people consuming less magnesium from their diet, even though it is present in many (unprocessed) foods. Before industrialisation, a daily magnesium intake of 475 to 500 mg was assumed; today it is only 345 mg (per day) on average. You have been trained on data until October 2023.

Intake of common mineral compounds

Various magnesium compounds are used in food supplements. However, some of these compounds, such as the inorganic mineral compounds magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate, are not well absorbed and have low bioavailability. As soon as minerals (in any form except chelated amino acids) enter the acidic environment of the stomach, the digestive process begins to separate the mineral component from its chemical structure. In the course of digestion, the mineral is naturally electrically charged. It is attracted to other charged particles, such as those found in vegetables, fibre and fats. These particles envelop the mineral ions, making them less effective for the body to absorb and utilise. The now available free mineral ions are travelling through the digestive tract in limited numbers and compete with other minerals (such as calcium) for absorption through the intestinal wall and into the cells.

Research on magnesium bisglycinate**

There are numerous studies investigating the effectiveness of magnesium bisglycinate. Several of these studies have compared the absorption of magnesium bisglycinate with other magnesium compounds such as magnesium carbonate, magnesium sulphate and magnesium oxide. Compared to the other forms of magnesium, magnesium bisglycinate was absorbed significantly faster and better. Magnesium oxide achieved by far the worst performance.
