Bioguto Magnesium bisglycinate 60 capsules

• MAGNESIUM BISGLYCINATE

Magnesium bisglycinate may also be called magnesium glycinate or magnesium glycinate chelate.ChelatesGreek for pincers. Therefore, magnesium bisglycinate consists of magnesium surrounded by two glycine molecules with a kind of pincers. This structure is special and differs from other forms of magnesium in that it does not dissociate into ions in solution.

Why is ionic form important?

First of all, because magnesium in its ionic form is very prone to react with various substances and its absorption can be hindered by other compounds in food, such as phosphates, phytates (in grains, soybeans, leguminous products, etc.), tannins (coffee, cocoa, tea etc.) etc., with which magnesium reacts to form insoluble salts and is removed from the body before it can enter the cells. Magnesium in its ionic form competes with other metal ions for the same transport systems, so high concentrations of other metal ions in the gut (such as calcium) can make it difficult for magnesium to enter cells. The opposite is also possible: if there is a lot of magnesium in the intestines compared to other metal ions, it can interfere with the absorption of other elements.

Which is the better bisglycinate form?

Although magnesium bisglycinate is very soluble in water, it does not dissociate into ions when dissolved and its absorption does not require the mechanisms involved in normal ion absorption. Magnesium bisglycinate enters cells by another route, a kind of VIP, through dipeptide channels. By the way, they are much more abundant in the gut than other common transport systems for metals in their ionic form. For this reason, magnesium bisglycinate is quickly and well absorbed, it does not interfere with the absorption of other metal ions, and its absorption is also not hindered by other metal ions. More importantly, this chelated form of magnesium reduces the toxicity and intestinal irritation of magnesium itself.

Why is glycine important?

Magnesium bisglycinate has two glycine molecules in its structure. Glycine is one of the twenty amino acids most commonly found in proteins. It is the simplest amino acid, necessary for protein synthesis and the body is able to synthesize it on its own. Glycine is also present in our food: meat, fish, dairy products, legumes.

Glycine is important not only as a protein building block. It has many different functions: it increases insulin sensitivity, regulates immunity, functions as a signal transmitter in the brain, improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, reduces oxidative stress, and more. Glycine has been shown to improve sleep quality by helping you fall asleep faster and promoting deeper, more restful sleep.

Highlights of magnesium bisglycinate in brief:

• Very good intestinal absorption.
• Does not react with other substances in food that impair magnesium absorption.
• Inhibition of absorption of other nutritionally important ionic elements is avoided.
• Does not irritate the digestive tract.
• May improve sleep quality thanks to glycine.

• RICE HUSK EXTRACT as tackifiers.
• HYPROMELIOSIS as a capsule shell.
• CONTAINS TRACES OF CITRIC ACID

Magnesium helps the body perform many daily functions – from energy metabolism to the normal functioning of the nervous system and muscles.

It is important for maintaining normal nervous system function, muscle function, psychological function, electrolyte balance, and energy metabolism. Magnesium also helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, maintain normal protein synthesis, bone and teeth health, and plays a role in cell division.

In other words, magnesium is a mineral important for every cell in the body and its smooth functioning.

The need for magnesium may be higher when leading an active lifestyle, engaging in more intense physical activity, experiencing excessive sweating, prolonged stress, or an insufficiently varied diet. Magnesium levels in the body can also be affected by certain daily habits, such as higher consumption of coffee or alcohol.

Additional attention to magnesium levels may be relevant for those who exercise, experience greater physical or mental strain, often feel stressed, or sweat profusely.

The need for magnesium can also change during certain health conditions. If you are taking medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have health problems, it is recommended to consult a doctor or pharmacist about magnesium supplements.

Not all forms of magnesium are equally well tolerated, especially if the digestive tract is more sensitive. Therefore, when developing Bioguto Magnesium Bisglycinate, we paid great attention to the quality of the raw material and a simple, clear composition. We chose magnesium bisglycinate produced in Germany and created a product without unnecessary additives – suitable for daily use, especially in the evening. The product is suitable for vegans and vegetarians, and it is gluten-free and lactose-free.

Magnesium bisglycinate is a chelated form of magnesium. This means that magnesium is bound to the amino acid glycine. Due to this structure, this form differs from conventional magnesium salts.

Chelated magnesium is more stable in the digestive tract and competes less with other minerals for absorption. For this reason, magnesium bisglycinate is often chosen when a well-absorbed form of magnesium is sought.

Another important advantage is that magnesium bisglycinate is usually gentler on the intestines. Some forms of magnesium can cause loose stools or irritate the digestive tract, so bisglycinate is often chosen by people who want to avoid this.

Glycine, present in magnesium bisglycinate, is an amino acid involved in nervous system function. Together with magnesium, which helps maintain normal nervous system function and normal psychological function, this form is a good choice for the evening – especially after an active or stressful day.

In short, magnesium bisglycinate is a chelated, well-absorbed, and gentle form of magnesium for the digestive tract, suitable for daily use and balanced for evening consumption.

WHEN TO CHOOSE MAGNESIUM BISGLYCINATE, WHEN MALATE? OR DO YOU NEED BOTH?

Both magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium malate supplement the diet with magnesium. The magnesium in both forms helps maintain normal nervous system function, muscle function, energy metabolism, psychological function, and helps reduce feelings of fatigue and tiredness.

The difference is not in the benefits of magnesium itself, but in the form of magnesium, its tolerance, and the properties of the molecules bound to magnesium.

Magnesium bisglycinateis more often chosen when a gentle, well-tolerated form of magnesium is sought, especially for evening use. This form of magnesium is often chosen as one of the most versatile options for magnesium supplementation.

Magnesium malateis more often chosen by those who need support for normal energy metabolism during the day, and it is favored by people who exercise and lead an active lifestyle.

HOW LONG TO USE?

The duration of magnesium use depends on individual needs and the reason for its use.

If magnesium is used due to insufficient intake in the diet or increased need, it can be taken daily and for a long time, adhering to the recommended daily dose. Mandatory breaks are not necessary.

If magnesium deficiency is suspected or confirmed by tests, its supplementation can last from several weeks to several months. The exact duration depends on the extent of the deficiency, its cause, the dose used, and individual absorption, so it is best to discuss it with a doctor or pharmacist.
