Viridian High Potency Magnesium Bisglycinate (60, 120, 180 or 240 capsules) contains magnesium in the form of magnesium bisglycinate, where magnesium is bound to the amino acid glycine. Each capsule delivers 100 mg of elemental magnesium and a daily dose of 2 capsules provides 1,668 mg of magnesium bisglycinate, which corresponds to 200 mg of magnesium. For adults, the recommended dose is 1 to 2 capsules per day with a meal, and with a choice of different pack sizes, there is a suitable pack for both short-term and long-term use. You can swallow the vegan capsules whole or open them and mix them into cold food or drinks, making the product practical for everyday use.
Magnesium bisglycinate is a compound in which one magnesium atom is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. It is also known as magnesium glycinate and is classified as a chelated magnesium form.
With a fully reacted formula, every magnesium molecule is bound to glycine. With a not fully reacted raw material, part of the magnesium may be present in another form, such as magnesium oxide, while the product is still sold as magnesium glycinate.
Chelated means that a mineral is bound to an organic molecule, such as an amino acid. With magnesium bisglycinate, magnesium is bound to glycine at two points, creating a stable compound.
Glycine is the smallest amino acid. It naturally occurs in protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, eggs, dairy and pulses.
In magnesium bisglycinate, a large part of the weight consists of glycine. Of the 834 mg of magnesium bisglycinate per capsule, 100 mg is elemental magnesium. The stated magnesium content refers to the magnesium itself, not to the total compound.
Magnesium is naturally found in spinach and other green leafy vegetables, nuts, pumpkin seeds and other seeds, pulses, wholegrain products, bananas and dark chocolate.
