Magnesium Bisglycinate 100mg 120 Tablets Vitals

Product description

This product contains magnesium in the form of magnesium bisglycinate. Each magnesium particle is strongly bound (chelated) to two (bis) molecules of the amino acid glycine. The general term for such a compound is amino acid chelate or amino acid chelated mineral. The word 'chelate' comes from Greek and means 'claw'. Magnesium is one of the minerals most commonly used in complementary practice. One reason for this is that magnesium plays an important role in more than 300 physiological processes in the body. In addition, because of the current diet (with relatively little magnesium-rich food such as green vegetables and nuts) it is likely that not everyone gets enough magnesium. This mineral should therefore be regarded as a basic supplement. However, it is very important to be aware of the quality differences that exist between magnesium products and to know how to make a good choice. Organic and inorganic There are several magnesium compounds that are used in supplements. An important distinction to be made here is whether it concerns an organic or inorganic mineral compound. Inorganic mineral compounds (which occur in the soil and are taken up from it by plants, such as magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate) generally have a low bioavailability relative to organically bound mineral compounds such as gluconates, citrates and amino acid chelated minerals. Benefits of amino acid chelated minerals The chelate structure in an amino acid chelate such as magnesium bisglycinate is strong enough not to be split under the influence of gastric juice or digestive enzymes (as usually happens with other mineral compounds), but also weak enough that the mineral element can be liberated once absorbed is made by cells in the gut. The amino acids wrap around the mineral element and protect it during the digestive process and do not let go. The electrical charge of the chelate is also neutral, so that it does not get stuck to pieces of food in the stomach and intestines. The amino acid chelate thus reaches the small intestine in its entirety where it is absorbed as a dipeptide (compound of two amino acids). This is very beneficial because the body can absorb amino acids (and especially dipeptides) extremely easily. Especially if these consist of the amino acid with the smallest size, namely glycine. As a result, amino acid chelated minerals are many times more absorbable than other mineral forms. In the epithelial tissue of the jejunum (middle part of the small intestine), the amino acid chelated mineral is actively transported into the mucous cells without competing with other minerals. Only in the mucous cells do metabolic processes ensure that the glycine and the mineral are split and become available for the various organs and systems in the body. Amino Acid Chelates from Albion Minerals Vitals only uses genuine amino acid chelates from Albion Minerals, the expert in amino acid chelates, recognizable by the trademark TRACS®, which stands for The Real Amino Acid Chelate System. This brand was created to distinguish itself well from other, possibly inferior, unstable amino acid chelates. Albion has registered more than 100 patents worldwide that guarantee the process, science and structure of their amino acid chelated minerals. In addition, research is done with their minerals and quality testing is done with every batch that is produced. It is essential to check that chelation has actually taken place and that the bonds are strong enough. Studies with magnesium bisglycinate Several studies have been done that confirm the effectiveness of magnesium bisglycinate. Some of these compared the absorbability of magnesium bisglycinate with various magnesium compounds, such as magnesium carbonate, magnesium sulfate and magnesium oxide. Magnesium bisglycinate was absorbed significantly faster and better than the other forms of magnesium. Magnesium oxide performed the least well by far. Taurine This product also contains 200 mg of taurine. This is an amino acid-like substance that occurs naturally in meat, fish and shellfish in particular. It has a direct synergistic effect with magnesium because it promotes the uptake of this mineral into the cells (magnesium is particularly active intracellularly). Function of magnesium in the body The body contains about 21 to 28 grams of magnesium. Less than 1% is circulating in the blood, about 20% is in the muscles, 20% in other soft tissues and liver, and about 60% is built into the bones and teeth. Magnesium is therefore good for the muscles and important for maintaining strong bones and teeth. Furthermore, it is involved in more than 300 enzymatic processes. For example, magnesium is an important co-factor for enzymes involved in protein synthesis (the process by which proteins are made from DNA). And it helps maintain a good electrolyte balance by being a co-factor for many enzymes involved in maintaining an electrical potential across the cell membrane. (Cells—especially nerve and muscle cells—use the electrical charge of electrolytes to conduct electrical impulses to and from other cells, such as nerve impulses or muscle contractions.) In this way, magnesium is involved in nerve conduction and muscle contraction, so it is important for the muscle function, including the heart muscle. In addition, insufficient magnesium intake can lead to fatigue. In this case, magnesium can help to get fit again. It helps to release energy from fats, carbohydrates and proteins and thus supports energy levels. It is also important for brain and nerve functions, which determine aspects such as concentration, memory and mood. And it contributes to normal cell division and the production of cells and tissues. Allowable health claims: magnesium can help with fatigue magnesium supports energy levels magnesium is important for normal muscle function and plays a role in maintaining supple and strong muscles magnesium plays a role in the production of cells and tissues magnesium helps build proteins in the body magnesium is involved in bone formation and is important for maintaining strong bones and teeth magnesium is good for mood, the ability to concentrate and memory magnesium has a positive influence on the functioning of the nervous system magnesium contributes to a good electrolyte balance complete) information here about the /all uses of this supplement.
