Vitakruid Magnesium 200 complex - Mineral, vitamin and amino acid supplement

Magnesium is fundamental to over 300 biochemical processes in our body. An inadequate magnesium balance can therefore manifest in numerous ways. This is why we've decided to unite all the organic magnesium forms we offer separately into one supplement. In doing so, we combine the specific applications of the different forms, making the Magnesium Complex a versatile supplement.

Magnesium bisglycinate is a compound of magnesium and two (bis) molecules of the amino acid glycine. Magnesium taurate is a combination of the amino acid-like substance l-taurine and magnesium. The bonds to l-taurine and glycine make it easier for the magnesium to cross the blood-brain barrier. Subsequently, the absorption in the brain tissue of magnesium taurate and bisglycinate is better than that of other magnesium forms.

Magnesium malate is a compound of magnesium and malic acid; magnesium citrate is, in turn, bound to citric acid. Both acids are part of the so-called citric acid cycle. This biochemical system is responsible for the majority of the energy our body produces in the cells. Moreover, research shows that our muscle tissue absorbs magnesium malate and citrate relatively well compared to other magnesium compounds.

Organic and chelated forms
Magnesium malate, taurate, bisglycinate, and citrate are organically bound forms of magnesium. Inorganic magnesium forms such as magnesium chloride, magnesium oxide, and magnesium sulfate are less bioavailable and thus less well absorbed. For instance, magnesium sulfate has a bioavailability of only 4%. This means that a dosage of 200 mg magnesium sulfate is effective for a mere 8 mg.

Our daily diet generally contains inorganically bound magnesium. These are the forms found in the soil and absorbed by the plants we eat daily. Examples include magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate. Our body thus absorbs only a small portion of the magnesium we get from regular food.

The best forms we know are magnesium chelates such as magnesium taurate, magnesium malate, and magnesium bisglycinate. The structure of an amino acid chelate is so strong that our stomach acid cannot split the form. This is due to the amino acids in the chelate form, which act as a protective layer for the magnesium. Magnesium bisglycinate thus reaches our intestines as a complete element, where our body then absorbs the valuable mineral. Furthermore, the amino acid-chelated nature results in fewer stomach and intestinal complaints compared to non-chelated magnesium forms.

Vitamin B6 as pyridoxal-5-phosphate
Vitamin B6 improves the absorption of magnesium. Additionally, the vitamin has many scientifically proven health-promoting effects on the body. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (the biologically active, co-enzymatic form of vitamin B6) has better bioavailability and is safer than pyridoxine. We use only the P-5-P form in our products.
