KAL Magnesium Bisglycinate is a chelated form of the mineral, where magnesium is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. This bond makes the format gentler on the gastrointestinal tract than oxide or sulfate, which is often a deciding factor for those who have previously avoided magnesium supplements due to discomfort.
What to consider when choosing magnesium bisglycinate?
One serving - 4 VegCap vegetable capsules containing 350 mg of elemental magnesium in the form of bisglycinate (glycinate). Fully chelated form without partial oxide - this is what KAL emphasizes in its product positioning. There are 160 capsules in the bottle, which is 40 servings.
Additional ingredients: vegetable cellulose capsule, magnesium stearate, cellulose, silicon dioxide. Gelatin-free - suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Why is magnesium bisglycinate usually chosen?
Magnesium is a mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. KAL positions this product for several areas of support: muscle relaxation, bone health, normal muscle function, and enzymatic activity.
Magnesium bisglycinate is often chosen in situations where gentleness to the stomach is important: for example, people with sensitive gastrointestinal tracts or those who take magnesium in the evening and want to avoid any discomfort. Glycine as a carrier amino acid is itself a neutral component - it is naturally present in the diet.
How does the chelate form differ from the regular oxide?
Magnesium oxide is the most common and cheapest form, but its digestibility is lower and the risk of laxative effects is higher. Chelated forms (bisglycinate, citrate, malate) are more easily tolerated. Different forms of magnesium may differ in tolerability depending on individual digestive characteristics - this should be taken into account when choosing.
How much magnesium bisglycinate to take per day and how
Manufacturer's recommendation: 4 capsules per day with meals or with a glass of water. One capsule contains approximately 87.5 mg of elemental magnesium, four - 350 mg. The daily magnesium requirement for adults varies depending on age and gender (usually 310-420 mg), so the dosage of the supplement should be agreed with a doctor or nutritionist.
Taking with food reduces the likelihood of any gastrointestinal reactions - even in mild chelated forms this is recommended practice. Use only according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Convenient format: 160 capsules per bottle
160 capsules at a dosage of 4 per day - this is exactly 40 days of intake, a little more than a month. The bottle is convenient for those who want to order a supply and not think about replenishing it every week. VegCap vegetable capsules dissolve without residue and have no foreign taste.
Who produces KAL and why?
