What does magnesium bisglycinate mean?

The compound magnesium bisglycinate is also called magnesium glycinate. This indicates that magnesium has two glycine molecules attached, it is more accurately called “bisglycinate” (bis = two). Two separate glycine molecules occupy an active site on each magnesium molecule, leading to superior absorption because of increased solubility. Glycine is an anti-inflammatory amino acid.

Suggested use: Take half scoop daily twice with water or as directed by a healthcare professional. Also, keep the container tightly packed & away from water. Please consume within 45-60 days of opening the jar.

Storage conditions: Please keep in a cool and dry place, away from moisture.

Unique benefits of magnesium bisglycinate :

A crossover study found that serum levels of magnesium over eight hours were highest for magnesium bisglycinate, followed by dimagnesium malate; the least absorbed was magnesium oxide. The improved absorption and solubility are because glycine decreases the pH of the intestines.

The glycine also takes up space on the magnesium molecule, which decreases the propensity of the magnesium to complex with plant-based phytates that would otherwise interfere with its absorption. Because glycine takes up active sites on the molecule, less water attaches to the molecule, which reduces the laxative effect typically seen with magnesium compounds.
 

Magnesium is a key mineral as we noted previously is responsible for 3,751 essential enzyme functions in the body. Among its many functions, magnesium regulates calcium homeostasis through the activity of three key hormones: calcitonin, parathyroid hormone, and vitamin D (more properly called “hormone D”). In addition, magnesium’s presence in the energy molecule (Mg-ATP) is an absolute requirement for its recognition and use in the body. We consider magnesium to be the “conductor of the body’s mineral orchestra.”
