What is Magnesium Bisglycinate?
A widely used name, magnesium glycinate, is actually the same as magnesium bisglycinate, or more precisely, the full name would be MAGNESIUM BISGLYCINATE CHELATE – the chelated form of magnesium.
What does “Chelated” – chelated form of magnesium mean?
Chelated forms of minerals mean they are bound to an amino acid. In the case of magnesium bisglycinate, two molecules of the amino acid glycine (hence the name bisglycinate) are bound to one magnesium atom. This is a superior form – the most bioavailable form of magnesium!
Magnesium is one of the most important minerals with numerous functions in the human body. It is the fourth most abundant mineral in our bodies. It is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions and plays a key role in the metabolism of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a compound found in all cells, responsible for storing and transferring energy within cells. Magnesium is essential for the synthesis of DNA and RNA, reproduction, and protein synthesis, as well as for regulating muscle contractions, blood pressure, insulin metabolism, heart muscle function...
It is crucial for the normal functioning of the nervous system. It increases stress resistance, improves sleep quality, reduces exhaustion, and both mental and physical fatigue. It helps relieve pain and eliminate migraines and frequent headaches, as well as nervous tension (nervousness).
A magnesium deficiency in the body can lead to unwanted muscular, cardiac, and nervous disorders. Low magnesium levels are associated with many chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, insulin resistance and diabetes, hypertension, stroke and heart attack, other cardiovascular diseases, attention disorders, and hyperactivity. Research conducted around the world shows that magnesium deficiency is becoming an increasingly common problem. It is estimated that half of the adult population in the United States and Europe has insufficient magnesium levels.
Experts emphasize that it is almost impossible to meet all the body's needs for magnesium through diet alone and point out the importance of supplementation. When choosing a supplement, special attention should be paid to the form of magnesium present in the product. In supplements, magnesium is found in the forms of citrate, oxide, and bisglycinate. Magnesium bisglycinate has significantly higher bioavailability, which is why Strong Nature Magnesium Bisglycinate is the first choice for magnesium supplementation.
