Vitakruid Magnesium 150 Bisglycinate with 200mg L-Taurine

Vitakruid Magnesium 150 Bisglycinate with 200mg L-Taurine

Magnesium 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 that our body produces the amino acid itself in the liver. Nevertheless, standalone glycine supplements are frequently used. Surgery, diet, rapid growth, or intense physical activity are factors that can make glycine supplementation a valuable addition to the diet.

Moreover, you receive a significant amount of glycine when using Magnesium Bisglycinate 150. A magnesium bisglycinate compound that results in 150 mg of magnesium actually contains as much as 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 biologically available and are therefore absorbed less effectively. For example, magnesium sulfate has a biological availability of only 4%. This means that a dosage of 200 mg of magnesium sulfate is only effectively 8 mg.

Your daily diet generally contains inorganic bound magnesium. These are the forms that occur in the soil and are absorbed by the plants you eat daily. Examples include magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate. Therefore, your body absorbs only a small portion 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 break it down. This is due to the amino acids in the chelate form, which act as a protective layer for the magnesium. Thus, magnesium bisglycinate reaches our intestines as a complete element, where our body then absorbs the valuable mineral. Furthermore, the amino acid chelated nature leads to fewer stomach and intestinal complaints compared to unchelated magnesium forms.

High absorbability of elemental magnesium
A label must always state the elemental amount of a mineral. The molecular compound of magnesium bisglycinate contains 20% elemental magnesium. That may not seem like much. However, an elemental amount of 150 mg from 750 mg of magnesium bisglycinate is absorbed by our body much better 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 the amount.

L-taurine provides synergistic effect
Additionally, we have added L-taurine to Magnesium Bisglycinate. This amino acid-like substance is found in significant amounts in meat, fish, and shellfish. For this formula, synergy was the driving force behind adding L-taurine. The intercellular substance ensures better absorption of magnesium bisglycinate, which is also active at the intercellular level.
