Vitakruid Magnesium 150 Bisglycinate 180 tablets

Magnesium bisglycinate is a compound between magnesium and two (bis) molecules of the amino acid glycine. The sweet-tasting substance is non-essential, which means that our bodies produce the amino acid themselves in the liver. Nevertheless, stand-alone glycine supplements are frequently used. Surgery, diet, rapid growth or heavy sporting activity are factors which can make glycine supplementation a valuable addition to the diet.

By the way, you get a considerable amount of glycine when you take Magnesium 150 Bisglycinate. A magnesium bisglycinate compound that results in 150 mg of magnesium contains no less than 600 mg of glycine!

Our daily diet generally contains inorganically bound magnesium. These are the forms that occur in the soil and are absorbed by the plants you eat every day. Examples are magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate. So your body only absorbs a small part of the magnesium you get from regular food.

The best known forms are magnesium chelates, such as magnesium taurate, magnesium malate and magnesium bisglycinate. The structure of an amino acid chelate is so strong that our gastric juice is unable to split the form. This is because the amino acids in the chelate form act as a protective layer for the magnesium. Magnesium bisglycinate therefore reaches our intestines as a complete element, where our bodies then absorb the valuable mineral. Furthermore, the amino acid chelated form causes fewer stomach and intestinal complaints compared to unchelated magnesium forms.
