How does magnesium bisglycinate differ from other forms of magnesium, and why does it matter? — Magnesium Bisglycinate, 500 ml - VITATEKA

Magnesium comes in various chemical forms: oxide, citrate, malate, glycinate and others. The difference between them lies in the compound the magnesium is bound to, and this affects absorption and tolerability.

In bisglycinate, magnesium is bound to glycine — an amino acid involved in inhibitory processes in the nervous system. This form is usually gentler on the gastrointestinal tract than some other forms (for example, oxide), is less likely to cause discomfort with regular intake and is well suited to long-term use.

That is why bisglycinate is often chosen by those who have previously experienced unpleasant sensations with other forms of magnesium, or by those who take the supplement in the evening and want to minimise the load on their digestion.

In VITATEKA Magneesiumbisglütsinaat, magnesium bisglycinate comes in liquid form, which makes it even easier to take for those who avoid capsules and tablets.
