Magnesium for Muscle, Bone and Metabolic Support

Essential mineral support in a convenient capsule. This magnesium formula helps maintain proper muscle function, including the heart muscle, supports the development and maintenance of bones and teeth, and helps the body metabolize nutrients.

Understanding the Formula

Bisglycinate and Oxide Blend

This formula combines magnesium bisglycinate with magnesium oxide. In the bisglycinate form, magnesium is bound to glycine, an amino acid. Both forms contribute to the magnesium content, so this is a blend rather than a bisglycinate only formula.

What Elemental Magnesium Means

The 200mg amount refers to the elemental magnesium supplied per capsule, not the combined weight of the magnesium compounds. This distinction makes the mineral amount clear when comparing supplements.

Everyday Mineral Support

Proper Muscle Function

Magnesium helps maintain proper muscle function, including the heart muscle. This formula offers a straightforward way to include supplemental magnesium in your routine.

Bones, Teeth and Nutrient Metabolism

Magnesium helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth and supports the body’s ability to metabolize nutrients. It is a factor in the maintenance of good health.

Clinical Research

Bioavailability of magnesium diglycinate vs magnesium oxide in patients with ileal resection

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 1994

This clinical study directly compared the bioavailability of magnesium diglycinate (bisglycinate) versus magnesium oxide in human subjects with compromised intestinal absorption. The study found that magnesium diglycinate was significantly better absorbed than magnesium oxide, with urinary magnesium excretion a validated marker of magnesium absorption substantially higher in the bisglycinate group. The findings confirm that chelated bisglycinate form is absorbed via amino acid transport pathways independent of passive diffusion, directly supporting its use as a superior magnesium delivery form for the maintenance of good health and nutrient metabolism.

Magnesium and muscle performance: a review of the evidence

Current Sports Medicine Reports, 2015

This review examined the clinical evidence for magnesium's role in muscle function and physical performance. The review found that magnesium is essential for the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium pump facilitating muscle relaxation after contraction and that magnesium deficiency is associated with impaired muscle function, increased susceptibility to cramps, and reduced physical performance. Magnesium is also required for all ATP dependent energy producing processes including glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and mitochondrial ATP synthesis. The findings directly support the licensed uses of helping maintain proper muscle function and normal electrolyte balance, and helping in energy metabolism in the body.

Magnesium and osteoporosis: current state of knowledge and future research directions

Nutrients, 2021

This systematic review examined the clinical and epidemiological evidence for magnesium's role in bone health and osteoporosis prevention. The review found that magnesium is incorporated into the hydroxyapatite crystal lattice of bone, influences bone mineral density, and is required for the enzymatic activation of vitamin D which regulates intestinal calcium absorption. Low dietary magnesium was consistently associated with reduced bone mineral density across population studies, and magnesium supplementation supported bone maintenance in clinical trials

Frequently Asked Questions

What is magnesium bisglycinate used for?

Magnesium bisglycinate is used to support muscle function including the heart muscle, bone and teeth maintenance, and the body's ability to metabolize nutrients. It is the preferred magnesium form for daily supplementation because it is absorbed via amino acid transport pathways in the small intestine more efficiently than non chelated forms and is significantly gentler on the digestive system. Each capsule provides 200mg of elemental magnesium in chelated bisglycinate form.

Is magnesium bisglycinate the best form of magnesium?

Magnesium bisglycinate is widely considered one of the best tolerated and most bioavailable forms of magnesium available. Its chelated structure one magnesium ion bound to two glycine molecules allows absorption via amino acid transport channels in the small intestine, bypassing the osmotic mechanism that causes the laxative effect common with magnesium oxide. It also delivers glycine alongside magnesium, providing a modest co benefit not available from non chelated forms. For daily magnesium supplementation with minimal digestive side effects, bisglycinate is the most recommended form by healthcare practitioners.

Can magnesium bisglycinate be taken every day?

Yes. Magnesium bisglycinate is designed for daily use. Adults and adolescents 9 years and older take 1 capsule once per day with food and a full glass of water. At 200mg of elemental magnesium per capsule, daily supplementation supports consistent magnesium levels for muscle function, bone maintenance, and nutrient metabolism. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you have kidney disease, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are taking antibiotics, bisphosphonates, or diuretics.

When is the best time to take magnesium bisglycinate?

Magnesium bisglycinate can be taken at any time of day with food and a full glass of water. Many people prefer taking it in the evening because magnesium supports muscle relaxation and the nervous system calming that precedes sleep. Taking with food improves tolerability and reduces the small risk of gastrointestinal discomfort. Adults and adolescents 9 years and older take 1 capsule once per day. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Consistent daily use is more important than the specific time of day.

What is the difference between magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium malate?

Both are chelated organic magnesium forms with good digestive tolerance compared to magnesium oxide. Magnesium bisglycinate is bound to glycine an inhibitory amino acid that supports muscle relaxation and nervous system calming, making it the preferred form for sleep and stress support. Magnesium malate is bound to malic acid a direct Krebs cycle intermediate that supports cellular energy production, making it the preferred form for energy and muscle performance. Both are gentler on digestion than magnesium oxide. The best choice depends on your primary health goal.

Does magnesium bisglycinate interact with medications?

Magnesium can interact with certain medications. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if taking antibiotics (tetracyclines or fluoroquinolones magnesium can reduce their absorption if taken simultaneously), bisphosphonates (used for bone density same absorption interaction), or diuretics (which can increase magnesium excretion). Magnesium may also interact with medications for kidney disease or heart conditions. Space magnesium supplementation at least 2 hours apart from antibiotics or bisphosphonates. Do not use without medical supervision if you have kidney disease.
