Magnesium Bisglycinate

Description

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions throughout the body. It contributes to normal muscle and nerve function, energy production, electrolyte balance and psychological function. 

This formula provides 500 mg of Magnesium Bisglycinate per capsule, a chelated form in which magnesium is bound to the amino acid glycine. 

Key Benefits 

• Supports Relaxation & Rest
  Magnesium plays an important role in normal nervous-system function. Maintaining adequate magnesium intake can support relaxation and normal psychological function, making magnesium bisglycinate a popular choice for evening supplementation. 
• Supports Healthy Sleep
  Magnesium is involved in biological processes that influence the sleep-wake cycle and nervous-system activity. Supplementation may support sleep quality, particularly in people whose magnesium intake or status is inadequate. 
• Normal Muscle Function
  Magnesium contributes to normal muscle contraction and relaxation. This makes it particularly relevant for physically active individuals and those looking to support everyday muscular function. 
• Nervous-System Support
  Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and normal neurotransmission, supporting communication between nerves and muscles. 
• Energy & Reduced Fatigue
  Magnesium contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and helps support the body’s cellular energy processes. Adequate magnesium also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. 
• Exercise & Recovery Support
  Physical activity increases demands on the muscular and energy systems. Magnesium supports normal muscle function, electrolyte balance and protein synthesis, making it a useful mineral for active lifestyles. 
• Bone & Teeth Health
  Although calcium often receives more attention, magnesium also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.  

Magnesium Bisglycinate 

Purpose: Chelated, Well-Tolerated Magnesium Form 

Magnesium bisglycinate is magnesium bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. Chelation produces a stable magnesium compound commonly chosen for its good gastrointestinal tolerability and bioavailability. 

Compared with magnesium forms that can have stronger laxative effects, such as magnesium oxide or citrate, bisglycinate is often selected when the goal is magnesium supplementation with less likelihood of loose stools. 

Glycine 

Purpose: Chelating Amino Acid 

Glycine is the amino acid to which magnesium is bound in magnesium bisglycinate. It helps form the chelated mineral complex and is itself naturally present throughout the body. 

Although glycine has been independently studied in areas such as sleep and nervous-system function, the label does not state the amount of free glycine provided, so it is better not to market this product as a separate glycine supplement. 

Vegetable Cellulose Capsule 

Purpose: Plant-Based Capsule Shell 

Vegetable cellulose provides the capsule shell and offers a plant-based alternative to animal-derived gelatin, complementing the product’s vegan formulation. 

Organic Rice Flour 

Purpose: Natural Carrier & Manufacturing Aid 

Organic rice flour serves as a plant-based carrier or filler, helping achieve consistent capsule volume and ingredient distribution during manufacturing. 

Magnesium Stearate 

Purpose: Manufacturing Quality & Consistency 

Magnesium stearate functions as a flow agent and manufacturing lubricant, helping ingredients move smoothly through production equipment and supporting consistent capsule filling.
