Forms of magnesium

Magnesium is a mineral that occurs in many different natural forms. People cannot obtain pure magnesium from food; it must always be bound to some molecule, such as an amino acid, another organic acid or an inorganic substance. Some magnesium compounds have better bioavailability and absorption than others. With the more absorbable forms, optimal benefit is achieved with a smaller dose.

Chelate form

When magnesium binds to an organic compound, in this case the amino acid glycine, it forms a chelate. In chelate form, the amino acid is bound to the magnesium at several attachment points, which makes it more stable in the body than complex forms such as magnesium oxide. A low-molecular-weight chelate is absorbed efficiently in the small intestine.

Tolerability

In addition to its absorption, magnesium bisglycinate is also known as a very well tolerated form of magnesium.
