Magnesium 200 ComplexVitakruid

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 into 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, in turn, is 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 sulphate are less biologically available and are therefore less well absorbed. For example, magnesium sulphate has a biological availability of only 4%. This means that a dose of 200 mg of magnesium sulphate is only effectively 8 mg.

Our daily diet generally contains inorganic 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 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. The 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 biological availability and is safer than pyridoxine. We use only the P-5-P form in our products.
