Magnesium Bisglycinate

Magnesium Bisglycinate is a chelated form of magnesium where one magnesium ion is bound to two glycine molecules, creating a stable, electrically neutral complex that resists dissociation in the digestive system. This amino acid chelate structure, particularly when manufactured using the TRAACS (The Real Amino Acid Chelate System) process by Albion Minerals, offers superior absorption compared to inorganic magnesium salts because it bypasses competition with other minerals and is absorbed via peptide transport pathways. Formulators choose this ingredient for its gentle nature on the digestive system, minimal laxative effect, and high bioavailability, making it ideal for supplements targeting stress management, sleep support, and muscle relaxation without the gastrointestinal discomfort associated with magnesium oxide or sulfate.
