What is Buffered Magnesium Glycinate Chelate Complex?
Our magnesium complex includes two forms of magnesium: magnesium glycinate and magnesium oxide. Magnesium glycinate is magnesium chelated with the amino acid glycine for better bioavailability. This form is well-absorbed but contains a relatively small amount of elemental magnesium, so we buffered it with magnesium oxide (magnesium + oxygen) to provide a more optimal dose. Buffering also helps increase the alkalinity of the formula so that it’s less likely to cause irritation in the gut.
How is this magnesium supplement different from the magnesium drink powder?
Our Magnesium Whole Food Powder contains magnesium carbonate and citric acid, which react together when mixed in water to form magnesium citrate. Magnesium citrate is one of the most well-absorbed forms of magnesium, but it’s also known for its laxative effects. Because of these effects, it’s best not to take magnesium citrate too regularly. Our Magnesium Glycinate Chelate Complex supplement is better for regular daily use.
Can I take a multivitamin along with this supplement?
Yes. Most multivitamins are relatively low in magnesium (because it’s a bulky mineral that takes up a lot of space in the capsule), so an additional Magnesium supplement is a good idea.
What other supplements can I take with this one?
If you aren’t already taking a multivitamin, Magnesium pairs well with B Complex for healthy stress support and energy metabolism, and with Vitamin K2 + D3 for bone and heart health.
Can I open the capsules and pour the powder into a drink?
Yes, if you prefer not to swallow the capsules, they can easily be opened and you can mix the powder into a drink.
Is this supplement free of common allergens?
This supplement is free of most common allergens, including soy, gluten, dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish, and nuts.
