Magnesium Bisglycinate

Description

Magnesium Bisglycinate is a great-tasting powder that can be mixed with water, juice, or with another powdered supplement.
Magnesium bisglycinate is an amino acid chelate that binds magnesium to glycine, aiming to reproduce the form in which magnesium is found naturally in food. Studies from the USA suggest good magnesium availability with this chelated form, which also doesn't appear to have any particular drawbacks.

The Uses of Magnesium Bisglycinate

Magnesium Glycinate Purified Powder can be used as a dietary ingredient and as a nutrient. Magnesium plays a vital role in regulating the neuromuscular activity of the heart, converts blood sugar to energy and is necessary for proper calcium and Vitamin C metabolism.
Magnesium 2-aminoacetate (Magnesium glycinate) is essential for DNA and RNA synthesis, cellular repair, and maintaining the antioxidant status of the cell.

Background

Magnesium glycinate is a magnesium salt of glycine that is available as dietary supplements as a source of magnesium. It is used in the treatment of magnesium deficiency.

Benefits

maintain regular heart rhythms
reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
amplify exercise performanceTrusted Source
reduce pain

Biological Functions

Magnesium glycinate (Magnesium bisglycinate), the magnesium salt of glycine, is a nutrient supplement. Magnesium glycinate has satisfactory physico-chemical properties and bioactivities. Metal glycinate chelates are formed by glycine and metal compounds through chemical reactions. Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a critical role in the human body. Magnesium takes part in the process of energy metabolism and assists the maintenance of normal muscle function[1][2].
Calcium glycinate, magnesium glycinate and zinc glycinate are kinds of new-type and ideal nutrient supplements, which have satisfactory physico-chemical properties and bioactivities. They are important for prophylaxis and treat metal deficiency[1].

Side Effects

Stomach upset and diarrhea may occur. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.

Metabolism

Advantages

Magnesium glycinate is formed by combining elemental magnesium with the amino acid glycine. This form of magnesium is highly bioavailable, meaning the magnesium is easily absorbed through the small intestine.
