Magnesium Bisglycinate

The Magnesium Bisglycinate collection at Viva Saudável brings together magnesium bisglycinate supplements, also known as magnesium glycinate, from brands such as Thorne, NOW Foods, Kirkman, Ecogenetics, Holos Nutrition, Suravitasan, and Good Care. You will find bisglycinate in powder and capsule form — chelated forms bound to the amino acid glycine — as well as formulas that combine various forms of magnesium, with varying doses of elemental magnesium per serving and vegan options.

What is Magnesium Bisglycinate

Magnesium bisglycinate is a compound in which magnesium is bound to two molecules of glycine, an amino acid. It is therefore described as a chelated form, as opposed to inorganic forms such as oxide, chloride, or carbonate, and simple organic forms such as citrate. Regardless of the chemical form, magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of muscles and the nervous system, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal energy-yielding metabolism, to electrolyte balance, to normal protein synthesis, to normal psychological function, and to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.

How to compare products

The value to compare is the elemental magnesium per serving, not the total weight of the compound: 1000 mg of magnesium bisglycinate does not correspond to 1000 mg of magnesium. With powder formats, you can adjust the dose more precisely and the cost per gram is usually lower; capsules are more convenient for transport. Also check the ingredients list, as some formulas include sweeteners or flavorings and others do not. If you are taking medication, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before starting any supplementation.

To compare with other forms, such as citrate or threonate, see all magnesium supplements.

Perguntas frequentes

What is magnesium bisglycinate used for?
Bisglycinate is one of the forms in which magnesium can be taken. Like any source of magnesium, it contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal nervous system function, to normal muscle function, and to normal psychological function.
What is the difference between bisglycinate and other forms of magnesium?
In bisglycinate, magnesium is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine, forming a chelate. In contrast, oxide, chloride, and carbonate are inorganic forms, while citrate and malate are organic salts. Bisglycinate is often chosen by those with a sensitive stomach. When comparing products, look at the mg of elemental magnesium per dose, not the total weight of the bisglycinate.
When should I take magnesium bisglycinate?
You may take it at the time that is most convenient for you to maintain every day, with or without food. Splitting the dose into two intakes helps to better tolerate higher doses. Always follow the intake indicated on the label or by a healthcare professional.
