- Fully Reacted Magnesium Bisglycinate
Magnesium glycinate is formed by combining elemental magnesium with the amino acid glycine. Glycine acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, promoting relaxation. Because this chelated bond survives stomach acid and is absorbed through dipeptide channels in the intestines, it effectively bypasses the osmotic laxative effect common to other magnesium salts. It is the gold standard for neurological and muscular support.
