Magnesium Bisglycinate Core Chelate® 330mg | 300 Capsules | GEN

GEN Magnesium Bisglycinate

With GEN magnesium bisglycinate, you get 330 mg of elemental magnesium per daily dose of three capsules, which is 88% of the reference intake. The difference with an ordinary magnesium pill lies in the form. This is chelated magnesium, bound to the amino acid glycine. Intended for those who want to supplement their magnesium with a well-absorbed form, from a pot that lasts a long time and without unnecessary additives.

What magnesium bisglycinate is

Magnesium never exists in its free state. It is always bound to another substance. In bisglycinate, magnesium is coupled with two molecules of glycine, a small amino acid. This coupling is called a chelate. Many people wonder why this difference really matters. In short: glycine is a small building block that your intestines easily absorb, and since magnesium is attached to it, the mineral travels along with it in a gentle way. This is why this form is known to be gentle on the stomach, unlike, for example, magnesium oxide, which many find too laxative. Glycine also has one of the smallest molecular sizes of all amino acids, which promotes absorption in the intestine. And this is a true chelated magnesium bisglycinate, not free magnesium and free glycine that happen to end up in the same capsule. This distinction seems technical, but in practice it determines how your body handles the mineral.

The Core Chelate raw material

For this product, GEN uses the branded raw material Core Chelate®, a fully reacted magnesium bisglycinate chelate. Fully reacted means that each magnesium ion is truly bound to glycine, and is not next to it, free in the powder. This is an important difference, because far from every product called magnesium bisglycinate is actually fully chelated. Some powders are only partially reacted and then still contain a portion of uncoupled magnesium. The raw material is also delivered in Ultra Fine Mesh 60, a fineness of grind that evenly distributes the powder in the capsule. This way you know that the 330 mg of magnesium per day comes from a chelated and controlled form, and not from a cheap mixture that is only called bisglycinate on paper. You can also read precisely on the label how many milligrams of elemental magnesium are in each daily dose, regardless of the total weight of bisglycinate. This way you compare what is comparable when you put different magnesium products side by side.

Highly dosed, with the functions of magnesium

The pot contains 300 vegetable capsules. At three capsules per day, this represents 100 daily doses, or more than three months' supply. You take the capsules with plenty of water, preferably spread throughout the day, so that your intake remains regular. Magnesium does a lot in your body. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and a reduction in fatigue. Magnesium also contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, electrolyte balance and normal energy metabolism. Magnesium also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and plays a role in the process of cell division. This wide range of functions explains why athletes and active people gladly use this form, especially during intense training where more magnesium is lost through sweat and the need is higher. An adult needs approximately 300 to 375 mg of magnesium daily, and far from everyone reaches this value through diet alone. Those who exercise a lot, sweat or are under stress feel this need sooner. This daily dose of 330 mg then supplements a good part of your reference intake.

A pure and vegan formula

The recipe has been deliberately kept stripped down. Besides magnesium bisglycinate, it only contains a vegetable capsule shell and a little anti-caking agent, nothing more. The product is vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free and free of added sugar, aspartame and soy lecithin. For those who want to know exactly what they are taking, this is clear. This also avoids adding flavorings or fillers that do nothing for the active substance. A chelated magnesium does not need to be more than the mineral, glycine and the shell around it. Moreover, as the capsule is vegetable, this magnesium bisglycinate also fits into a vegan or vegetarian diet.

In summary: a highly dosed magnesium bisglycinate with 330 mg of magnesium per day from the Core Chelate® raw material, in vegetable capsules and with more than three months' supply per pot. A careful choice for those who consciously opt for a chelated and well-absorbed form and do not want to compromise on purity or dosage. With one hundred daily doses per pot, you also have plenty of time before you need to reorder.
