Magnesium is involved in over 300 metabolic reactions that are essential for human health, including energy production, blood pressure regulation, nerve signal transmission, and muscle contraction. Low levels are linked to a variety of illnesses, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, mood disorders, and migraines.
The problem with Magnesium on its own is that its not well-absorbed by the body, so is often bonded with different agents for increased bioavailability.
Best of three worlds
However, not all of these binding agents are equal, or add further beneficial properties. The reason why we have selected magnesium which is bonded to Glycine and Taurine? Because both Glycine and Taurine are on their own essential supplements for human health.
Magnesium Bisglycinate is magnesium chelated (i.e. “bonded”) to the amino acid glycine.
Your body employs this amino acid in protein construction. Glycine is often used as a standalone dietary supplement to improve sleep and treat a variety of inflammatory conditions, including heart disease and diabetes.
Magnesium glycinate is easily absorbed and has calming properties. It helps reduce anxiety, depression, stress, and insomnia.
It is the form of magnesium considered to have the least potential of causing a laxative effect.
Magnesium Taurate is magnesium chelated to the amino acid taurine.
It has prominent antihypertensive and cardioprotective activity via its potent antioxidant activity and can be used as a nutrition supplement to improve cardiovascular health.
Research suggests that adequate intakes of taurine and magnesium play a role in regulating blood sugar. Thus, this form may promote healthy blood sugar levels.
Magnesium and taurine also support healthy blood pressure and bolster heart health.
