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

Magnesium bisglycinate from GEN

With magnesium bisglycinate from GEN, 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 a chelated magnesium, bound to the amino acid glycine. Intended for those who want to supplement their magnesium with this form, from a bottle that lasts a long time and without unnecessary additives around it.

What magnesium bisglycinate is

Magnesium is never found on its own. It is always bound to another substance. With bisglycinate, magnesium is coupled with two molecules of glycine, a small amino acid. This coupling is called a chelate. And this is a truly chelated magnesium bisglycinate, not loose magnesium and loose glycine that just happen to be in the same capsule.

The Core Chelate raw material

GEN uses the branded raw material Core Chelate® for this product, a fully reacted magnesium bisglycinate chelate. Fully reacted means that every magnesium ion is actually bound to the glycine, and is not loose next to it in the powder. That is an important difference, because not every product called magnesium bisglycinate is also truly fully chelated. Some powders are only partially reacted and therefore still contain a portion of unlinked magnesium. The raw material is also supplied as Ultra Fine Mesh 60, a fine grind that distributes the powder evenly through the capsule. This way you know that the 330 mg of magnesium per day comes from a controlled, chelated form and not from a mixture that is only called bisglycinate on paper. You can also read exactly on the label how many milligrams of elemental magnesium are in each daily dose, separate from the total weight of bisglycinate. This way you compare apples with apples when you place different magnesium products next to each other.

330 mg magnesium per day and the permitted claims

The bottle contains 300 vegan capsules. At three capsules per day, that is 100 daily doses, or over three months' supply. You take the capsules with plenty of water, preferably spread throughout the day. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the muscles and to the reduction of fatigue and tiredness. In addition, magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, to the electrolyte balance and to a normal energy-providing metabolism. Magnesium also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and plays a role in the cell division process. The reference intake for magnesium is 375 mg per day; this daily dose provides 330 mg (88% RI).

A pure, vegan formula

The recipe has been deliberately kept bare. In addition to the magnesium bisglycinate, there is only a plant-based capsule shell and a small amount of anti-caking agent, nothing else. The product is vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free and free from added sugar, aspartame and soy lecithin. For those who want to know exactly what they are taking, this is clear. No flavorings or fillers are used. A chelated magnesium does not need to be more than the mineral, the glycine and the shell around it. By the way, because the capsule is plant-based, this magnesium bisglycinate also fits into a vegan or vegetarian diet.

In short: a magnesium bisglycinate with 330 mg of magnesium per day from the Core Chelate® raw material, in vegan capsules and with over three months' supply per bottle. A good choice for those who consciously choose a chelated form. With one hundred daily doses per bottle, you also have plenty of time before you have to order again.
