Vitals Magnesium Bisglycinate 100 mg
Vitals Magnesium Bisglycinate 100 mg
This product contains magnesium in the form of magnesium bisglycinate. In this form, each magnesium particle is strongly bound (chelated) to two (bis) molecules of the amino acid glycine. The general term for such a compound is amino acid chelate or amino acid chelated mineral. The word 'chelate' comes from Greek and means 'claw'.
Magnesium is one of the minerals most commonly used in complementary practice. One reason for this is that magnesium plays an important role in over 300 physiological processes in the body. In addition, due to current dietary patterns (with relatively few magnesium-rich foods such as green vegetables and nuts), it is probable that not everyone gets enough magnesium. This mineral should therefore be considered as basic supplementation. However, it is very important to be aware of the quality differences that exist between magnesium products and to know how to make a good choice.
Organic and inorganic
There are various magnesium compounds used in supplements. An important distinction that needs to be made is whether it is an organic or inorganic mineral compound. Inorganic mineral compounds (which occur in the soil and are absorbed by plants from there, such as magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate) generally have a low bioavailability compared to organically bound mineral compounds such as gluconates, citrates, and amino acid chelated minerals.
Benefits of amino acid chelated minerals
The chelate structure in an amino acid chelate like magnesium bisglycinate is strong enough not to be split by stomach acid or digestive enzymes (as typically happens with other mineral compounds), but also weak enough so that the mineral element can be released once it has been absorbed by the cells in the intestine. The amino acids fold around the mineral element and protect it during the digestive process and do not release it. The electrical charge of the chelate is also neutral, so it does not get stuck to food particles in the stomach and intestines. The amino acid chelate therefore reaches the small intestine as a whole, where it is absorbed as a dipeptide (compound with two amino acids). This is very beneficial because the body can absorb amino acids (and dipeptides in particular) extremely easily. Especially if these consist of the smallest amino acid, namely glycine. As a result, amino acid chelated minerals are many times more absorbable than other mineral forms. In the epithelial tissue of the jejunum (middle part of the small intestine), the amino acid chelated mineral is transported into the mucosal cells by active transport without competing with other minerals. Only in the mucosal cells do metabolic processes ensure that the glycine and the mineral are split and become available for the various organs and systems in the body.
Amino acid chelates from Albion Minerals
Vitals exclusively uses real amino acid chelates from Albion Minerals, the expert in amino acid chelates, recognizable by the TRAACS® trademark, which stands for The Real Amino Acid Chelate System. This brand was created to make a clear distinction from other, possibly inferior, unstable amino acid chelates. Albion has registered over 100 patents worldwide that guarantee the process, science, and structure of their amino acid chelated minerals. In addition, research is conducted with their minerals, and quality control is performed on every batch produced. It is essential to verify that chelation has indeed occurred and that the bonds are strong enough.
Studies with magnesium bisglycinate
Several studies have confirmed the effectiveness of magnesium bisglycinate. Some of these compared the absorbability of magnesium bisglycinate with different magnesium compounds, such as magnesium carbonate, magnesium sulfate, and magnesium oxide. Magnesium bisglycinate was absorbed significantly faster and better than the other forms of magnesium. Magnesium oxide performed by far the least well.
Taurine
This product also contains 200 mg of taurine. This is an amino acid-like substance that occurs naturally, particularly in meat, fish, and shellfish. It has a direct synergistic effect with magnesium by promoting the absorption of this mineral into the cells (magnesium is primarily active intracellularly).
Claims
- magnesium can help with fatigue - magnesium supports energy levels - magnesium is important for normal muscle function and plays a role in maintaining flexible and strong muscles - magnesium plays a role in the formation of cells and tissues - magnesium helps build proteins in the body - magnesium is involved in bone formation and is important for maintaining strong bones and teeth - magnesium is good for mood, concentration, and memory - magnesium has a positive influence on the functioning of the nervous system - magnesium contributes to a good electrolyte balance
