Magnesium Bisglycinate

Magnesium is a charged element that to stay stable needs to be chelated, or in other words, bounded to another compound. There are many chelated magnesium compounds available in the market. They differ in their bioavailability, purpose, and metabolism in the human body. Magnesium citrate is formed by magnesium and citrate. Magnesium citrate tends to have a laxative effect and is commonly used to treat constipation. Magnesium Bisglycinate is magnesium that is bound to two glycine amino acid molecules. Glycine on its own can improve sleep and reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. When combined with magnesium, these effects are enhanced, and the compound is considered to have high rates of absorption.
