Magnesium Glycinate by Your Supplements
Common Questions:
Why Magnesium
Magnesium is a critically important element involved in over 300 biochemical processes in the body. Magnesium contributes to normal energy yielding metabolism and contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It supports normal muscle function, the maintenance of normal bones and teeth and contributes to electrolyte balance. Additionally, Magnesium supports the maintenance of normal psychological function.
Why Magnesium Glycinate
Put simply, it's very well absorbed compared to other forms of Magnesium. Magnesium Glycinate is an exceptionally bioavailable form of Magnesium. Absorbed Magnesium is what counts.
What Is Fully Reacted Magnesium Glycinate
Magnesium and Glycine must be fully reacted together to form a true bond or "chelate". It's not enough to simply "mix" Glycine and Magnesium in a supplement capsule together. That wouldn't be Magnesium Glycinate, it would be Magnesium and Glycine unbound!
How Much Magnesium per Capsule
Each capsule contains 80mg of elemental Magnesium from fully reacted Magnesium Glycinate.
Why Don't You Have More Elemental Magnesium Per Capsule
Because it's simply not possible without making the capsules far larger. Magnesium Glycinate is 10-11% elemental Magnesium by weight, the other 89-90% being Glycine. The density of the compound means you will struggle to physically fit any more powder into a capsule.
What Do You Mean by Quality vs Quantity
Absorbed Magnesium is what counts. While other forms of Magnesium boast very high elemental content, their bioavailability is lower and relatively less of each dose is absorbed. By selecting fully reacted Magnesium Glycinate you can be sure you're supplementing with one of the most bioavailable forms available.
