Vitakruid Magnesium 200 Complex Taurate Malate Bisglycinate

Vitakruid Magnesium 200 Complex Tauraat Malaat Bisglycinaat
Magnesium is the basis of over 300 biochemical processes in our body. An insufficient magnesium balance can manifest in countless ways. That is why we have decided to unite all the organic magnesium forms we offer separately into one supplement. In this way, we combine the specific applications of the different forms, making the Magnesium Complex a widely applicable supplement.

Magnesium bisglycinate is a compound between magnesium and two (bis) molecules of the amino acid glycine. Magnesium taurate is a combination of the amino acid-like substance L-taurine and magnesium. The bonds to L-taurine and glycine make it easier for magnesium to cross the blood-brain barrier. Furthermore, the absorption of magnesium taurate and bisglycinate in brain tissue is better than that of other magnesium forms.

Magnesium malate is a compound of magnesium and malic acid; magnesium citrate is in turn bound to citric acid. Both acids are part of the so-called citric acid cycle. This biochemical system is responsible for the majority of the energy produced in our cells. Moreover, research shows that our muscle tissue absorbs magnesium malate and citrate relatively well compared to other magnesium compounds.

Organic and chelated forms
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.

Our daily diet generally contains inorganic bound magnesium. These are the forms that occur in the soil and are absorbed by the plants we eat daily. Examples include magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate. Our body therefore only absorbs a small part of the magnesium we 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. Therefore, 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.

Vitamin B6 as pyridoxal-5-phosphate
Vitamin B6 improves the absorption of magnesium. Additionally, the vitamin has many scientifically supported health-promoting effects for the body. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (the biologically active, co-enzymatic form of vitamin B6) has better bioavailability and is safer than pyridoxine. We exclusively use the P-5-P form in our products.
