Magnesium: Bisglycinate, Citrate, Malate, and Threonate

Magnesium is an essential cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, playing a central role in neuromuscular function, ATP synthesis, and nervous system regulation. Bioavailability and digestive tolerance vary significantly depending on the chemical form of the magnesium salt, so the choice of format should be guided by the intended objective.

Magnesium bisglycinate (magnesium chelated with glycine) offers high bioavailability and good gastrointestinal tolerance, making it suitable for sleep and relaxation support. Magnesium citrate offers good absorption with a slightly laxative effect, useful for intestinal transit. Magnesium malate is associated with energy metabolism and is sought after in cases of fatigue. Magnesium threonate (Magtein) is studied for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, with interest in cognitive function.

At Viva Saudável, you will find magnesium from the premium brands that we exclusively distribute, with quality certifications and highly absorbable chelated forms.

FAQs

Magnesium glycinate (or bisglycinate) is the most recommended form for relaxation, sleep, and stress, as the amino acid glycine has a calming effect on the nervous system, and the form is highly absorbable without causing a laxative effect. Magnesium taurate is another excellent option for cardiovascular and nervous health.

Magnesium participates in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body: energy production (ATP), muscle contraction, nervous system regulation, protein production, DNA synthesis, blood sugar regulation, and bone health. Deficiency is very common and manifests as fatigue, cramps, irritability, and sleep disturbances.

Yes. Magnesium is safe for daily use at the recommended doses (between 200 to 400 mg for adults). As it is eliminated by the kidneys, excess is excreted in the urine. Glycinate and malate forms are the most well-tolerated by the digestive system, making them ideal for continuous use.

Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before taking this supplement. Not recommended in case of hypersensitivity or allergy to any of the ingredients in the formulation, or when interactions between another product and any of its constituents are described. The recommended daily dose should not be exceeded. Keep out of the reach and sight of children. Store in a cool, dry place, away from light.
