This chelated form is absorbed via amino acid transport pathways in the small intestine, which is more efficient than the passive diffusion used by non-chelated magnesium salts and significantly reduces the osmotic laxative effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMagnesium oxide\u003c\/strong\u003e is an inorganic magnesium salt with a high elemental magnesium content per gram. It is used alongside bisglycinate to reach 200mg of elemental magnesium per capsule in a practical capsule size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Magnesium Bisglycinate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium bisglycinate is magnesium bound to two glycine amino acid molecules. This chelated structure protects the magnesium in the digestive tract and allows it to be absorbed through amino acid transport channels in the small intestine. The result is better absorption and far less digestive discomfort compared to non-chelated forms like magnesium oxide or sulfate taken alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Is Chelated Magnesium Gentler on the Digestive System?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-chelated magnesium that is not absorbed in the small intestine reaches the large intestine, where it draws water in through osmosis and causes loose stools. Chelated bisglycinate is absorbed earlier and more completely, so less reaches the large intestine. This is why bisglycinate is the preferred form for people who experience digestive discomfort with other magnesium supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelps maintain proper muscle function including the heart muscle\u003c\/strong\u003e Health Canada licensed claim | NPN 80077844\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupports bone and teeth development and maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e Health Canada licensed claim | NPN 80077844\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelps the body metabolize nutrients\u003c\/strong\u003e Magnesium is a cofactor for over 300 enzymatic reactions | Required for all ATP-dependent processes | Health Canada licensed claim | NPN 80077844\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA factor in the maintenance of good health\u003c\/strong\u003e Health Canada licensed claim | NPN 80077844\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e200mg elemental magnesium per capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e From chelated bisglycinate and magnesium oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChelated bisglycinate form\u003c\/strong\u003e Absorbed via amino acid transport | Gentler than non-chelated forms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOnly 2 non-medicinal ingredients\u003c\/strong\u003e Magnesium stearate and hypromellose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVegan capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e Hypromellose shell, no gelatin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHealth Canada licensed\u003c\/strong\u003e NPN 80077844 | GMP certified | Made in Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon-GMO\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e300 vegan capsules\u003c\/strong\u003e 300 day supply (10 months) at 1 capsule per day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMuscle Function\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium triggers muscle contraction. Magnesium is required for the pump that moves calcium back out of the muscle cell after contraction, allowing the muscle to relax. This applies to all muscles including the heart. Without adequate magnesium, this calcium recycling is impaired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBone and Teeth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout 60% of the body's magnesium is stored in bone. Magnesium is also needed to activate vitamin D, which in turn controls calcium absorption from the intestine. Low magnesium can impair vitamin D activation and reduce calcium uptake, affecting bone density and tooth enamel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNutrient Metabolism\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eATP (the body's energy molecule) must be bound to magnesium to be biologically active. This means magnesium is involved in every energy-producing process in the body: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and mitochondrial ATP production.
