What is MAGNESIUM BISGLYCINATE from Pure Nutrition?
Let's clarify something important - Magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium glycinate are 2 names for the same thing. Another (rarer) name for the same thing is magnesium diglycinate.
Magnesium bisglycinate is a magnesium atom attached to two glycine molecules.
"Bis" means 2, referring to the 2 glycine molecules, so we prefer to use the name bisglycinate for clarity.
Magnesium is both a basic mineral and an electrolyte. It is involved in regulating cellular stress and activity, which means that people who experience a lot of stress can benefit from getting more.
Magnesium glycinate is a type of magnesium supplement. It consists of the mineral magnesium, associated with the amino acid glycine. It is considered one of the most effective types of magnesium supplements due to its bioavailability - it is also fast-acting, generally well tolerated and unlikely to cause loose stools (diarrhea).
The rate of absorption and bioavailability of magnesium supplements vary depending on the species. Generally, species that are chelated and those that dissolve in liquid are better absorbed in the intestine than less soluble forms. Magnesium glycinate is a chelated form. This means that it tends to be used better by the body compared to other forms that are easier to separate.
Health benefits of magnesium bisglycinate:
Magnesium is a key mineral that is very important for many aspects of health as it is involved in hundreds of bodily functions, including:
- Regulation of blood pressure
- Protein synthesis
- Energy production
- Blood sugar control
- Digestive processes
- Regulation of heart rate
- Neurotransmitter functions, including those involved in sleep and mood stabilization
- Nitric oxide balance in the body
- Growth and development in infants and children
- Functions of nerves, muscles and tissues
- Production of stomach acid
Here are the health benefits of choosing magnesium bisglycinate:
- Helps to overcome magnesium deficiency - Given that magnesium glycinate is one of the most bioavailable forms of magnesium, this is a smart way to prevent deficiency of this mineral. Treatment of magnesium deficiency is crucial because this mineral is associated with other essential nutrients in the body, including calcium, vitamin K and vitamin D. The lack of a combination of magnesium, calcium, vitamin K and vitamin D increases the risk of health problems such as bone loss, heart problems, decreased immune function and others.
- May improve sleep quality - Magnesium appears to play a key role in regulating sleep. Magnesium supplements can help promote muscle relaxation, reduce leg cramps and muscle spasms, reduce tension and anxiety, and fight pain - all of which can keep you awake at night.
- It can help reduce anxiety and depression - Both magnesium and glycine have sedative properties, which means that together their effects can be even more powerful. This is one of the reasons why magnesium glycinate is recommended for people who feel tense or have trouble sleeping.
- May help treat headaches and migraines - Magnesium deficiency is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of migraine headaches for several reasons. Deficiency can increase muscle tension, increase feelings of anxiety or depression, alter the release of neurotransmitters, affect blood pressure, and alter blood platelet aggregation.
- Useful for blood pressure (hypertension) - Magnesium works with calcium to maintain proper blood pressure levels and prevent hypertension. Magnesium deficiency can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension, cardiomyopathy, cardiac arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia and diabetes. Magnesium also has an anti-inflammatory role and can help keep arteries clean. In addition, the use of magnesium glycinate can help normalize irregular heartbeat, which causes chest pain and anxiety.
Other benefits of magnesium glycinate may include:
- It can help reduce the symptoms of PMS
- Reduce leg cramps during pregnancy
- Less muscle spasms and cramps in athletes
- Improved athletic performance and recovery from training
- Improved quality of life, flexibility and functionality among people with chronic pain
- Helps control blood sugar among those with diabetes / insulin resistance
- Improving bone health among those prone to bone fractures
