Buying magnesium seems simple until you see how many forms there are. Oxide, citrate, malate, taurate and also glycinate. This magnesium glycinate from OstroVit provides 400 mg of magnesium per daily dose of 3 capsules. That is 107 percent of the reference intake. The magnesium is bound to glycine.
Magnesium is a mineral involved in hundreds of enzyme reactions in your body. About 60 percent is in your bones, the rest mainly in your muscles and soft tissues. It works as a kind of helper for enzymes: without magnesium, many processes do not get started. Magnesium contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the muscles. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system. And magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Magnesium is found in food including nuts, seeds, green leafy vegetables, whole grains and legumes. Magnesium contributes to the electrolyte balance. And magnesium plays a role in the cell division process.
The difference lies in what the magnesium is attached to. With magnesium oxide, that is oxygen. That form contains a lot of magnesium per gram. With magnesium bisglycinate, each magnesium atom is bound to two molecules of glycine, a small amino acid. Scientists call that a chelate (a kind of claw grip around the mineral). Glycinate is bulky. To get 400 mg of pure magnesium, you quickly need three capsules.
In addition to magnesium bisglycinate, the capsules contain inulin, a fiber from, for example, chicory root that serves as a filler here. The capsule itself is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based material, so without gelatin. A small amount of magnesium salts of fatty acids ensures that the powder does not stick to the machines during filling. You take 3 capsules daily. Many people spread them throughout the day or take them together with dinner. Magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. Magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal teeth.
With 90 capsules, you have exactly a one-month supply at the recommended use. A clear choice if you are looking for magnesium glycinate with a full daily dose and a plant-based capsule.
Three capsules together provide 400 mg of elemental magnesium, 107 percent of the reference intake. So no half dose, but a full one.
The magnesium is bound to two glycine molecules.
The capsule is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose instead of gelatin. The capsule shell therefore contains no gelatin.
At 3 capsules per day, one bottle lasts 30 days. Easy to keep track of and reorder.

Many people take it in the evening with dinner, but the timing is flexible. The important thing is to take it daily. You can also spread the 3 capsules throughout breakfast, lunch, and dinner, which may be easier on the stomach for some people.
In practice, they mean the same thing. Bisglycinate is the more precise name: each magnesium atom is bound to two (bis) glycine molecules. The label of this product states magnesium bisglycinate.
Magnesium is involved in hundreds of enzyme reactions. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the muscles. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system. And magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Because magnesium bisglycinate takes up a lot of space. The glycine adds weight, which means a capsule can only contain a limited amount of pure magnesium. To reach 400 mg, three capsules are needed. Forms such as oxide fit into fewer capsules.
In magnesium bisglycinate, each magnesium atom is bound to two molecules of glycine, a small amino acid. Such a compound is called a chelate.
The difference lies in what the magnesium is bound to: glycine or citric acid. Glycinate is bulkier and therefore requires more capsules for the same amount of magnesium.
