Vitals MAGNESIUM BISGLYCINATE WITH TAURINE 100 MG 60 TABLETS

This product contains magnesium in the form of magnesium bisglycinate. Each magnesium particle is powerfully bound (chelated) to two 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 the Greek and means "claw."

Magnesium is one of the most commonly used minerals in complementary practice. One reason for this is that magnesium plays an important role in more than 300 physiological processes in the body. And despite the fact that many (unprocessed) foods contain magnesium, changes in food production and eating habits have led to many people consuming less magnesium through their diet. Before industrialization, magnesium intake was estimated at 475 to 500 mg per day, today it is much lower at 345 mg (average intake per day for adults, according to the latest food consumption study in the Netherlands). Factors such as stress, high sugar intake and certain medications can also lower magnesium status. This mineral should therefore be considered a basic supplement. And usually there is not much of it in a multivitamin and mineral supplement, because magnesium takes up a lot of space in a tablet or capsule. Or inferior compound forms are used. It is therefore of great importance to know the quality differences between magnesium products and how to make a good choice.
