MAGNESIUM BISGLYCINATE
You would expect that given how critical magnesium is to human health, deficiency would be rare; however, unfortunately magnesium deficiency is one of the four most common nutritional deficiencies in North America. This is due to our soil depletion due to farming practices, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and chemical additives. In fact, recent studies have shown that the magnesium content in food has had a remarkable declined over time in most countries. That's where magnesium supplements come in. Being available in many forms, it's important to know which one best suits your healths needs. Let's delve deeper into the most bioavailable form of magnesium supplements: magnesium bisglycinate.
Magnesium supplements are among the most frequently recommended, recommended, and used nutritional supplements worldwide. Unsurprisingly, there are many different forms of magnesium available on the market. Magnesium bisglycinate is considered the clinical form and the most widely recommended by naturopaths and conventional medical doctors alike.
What’s so different about this form of magnesium, you may wonder? Well, magnesium bisglycinate is a complex of magnesium bound to two glycine molecules (hence the name: bis-). The bisglycinate form offers superior absorption because of its increased solubility. It also does not have a laxative effect like other forms of magnesium can,
because it is a true chelate in which the magnesium is completely enveloped.
So, what are the benefits of this form? Because magnesium bisglycinate provides glycine along with the magnesium, you get the additional benefits of that amino acid as well. Glycine is a neurotransmitter that works alongside other neurotransmitters such as GABA, to promote feelings of calmness and relaxation. This is why magnesium bisglycinate is the ideal form to support restful sleep, as well as to address anxiety, stress and other mood-based symptoms.
Who Needs Magnesium Bisglycinate?
Magnesium bisglycinate is often the preferred choice because it is well-tolerated and absorbed by the body. Practitioners will typically recommend it for muscle relaxation, heart and nervous system health, stress relief, insomnia, mood-based symptoms or for pain & inflammation. Magnesium bisglycinate is also ideal to correct magnesium deficiency quickly.
Magnesium Bisglycinate Potency & Formats
Magnesium Potency
Magnesium bisglycinate is available in 120 - 125 mg potency and the general recommended daily dosing is typically 250 to 420 mg daily. Your practitioner may recommend higher doses depending on your health concerns.
Magnesium Formats
Magnesium bisglycinate comes in several different forms including; capsule, tablet, liquid, and powder form; capsules being the most common. It is also often found in complex formulas for the support of healthy mood balance, stress & sleep, muscle function, bone health, as well as glucose metabolism.
Getting The Most Out Of Your Supplement
Magnesium supplements should ideally be taken with a meal to reduce stomach upset (though that is not typically an issue with the bisglycinate form). Take capsules or tablets with a full glass of water, or blend powder into 8 ounces of water.
To enhance results, combine your magnesium bisglycinate supplement with hawthorn and/or taurine to support heart health and regulate blood pressure or with calcium to support optimal bone health and the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system. It also pairs well with vitamin C to support wound healing, and proper muscle function; or with malic acid to reduce pain and tenderness.
