The 411 on Magnesium Glycinate
There are about a dozen types of magnesium compounds with their own set of superpowers. For instance, Magnesium L-threonate may support memory and cognitive function by penetrating the blood-brain barrier. Meanwhile, Magnesium Glycinate stimulates the neurotransmitter GABA to promote better sleep and enzymatic function.*
Formed by combining pure magnesium with the amino acid “glycine,” Magnesium Glycinate is also more bioavailable than other types of magnesium as it has undergone chelation. This allows your body to absorb more per serving, producing robust heart, bone, energy, and enzymatic support.
Each Sports Research Magnesium Glycinate serving provides 160 mg of chelated magnesium for increased bioavailability and offers daily support to help you reach your wellness goals. Available in our premium liquid softgel for an easy-to-swallow delivery form.
Our products undergo rigorous third-party testing and remain free of GMOs, so you know you’re only supplementing with the best.
Supplement chelation is the process of binding minerals (such as magnesium) with organic compounds to improve the stability and bioavailability of nutrients. This allows the body to utilise the nutrients better and more easily transport them across the intestinal wall, easing strain on the gut.
While magnesium as a mineral generally supports your heart, enzymes, bones, and energy production— each magnesium supplement has slightly different benefits.
