Magnesium Bisglycinate (ChelaPure®)

An essential mineral, often deficient

Magnesium participates in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body and is essential fundamental for such important functions as energy production, muscle contraction, nerve transmission, electrolyte balance, and bone health¹. However, various population studies show that a significant portion of the population does not reach the recommended intakes, a situation that can be associated with fatigue, muscle cramps, sleep disturbances, irritability or poorer physical recovery.².

But not everything depends on the amount of magnesium ingested. The chemical form used decisively conditions its absorption and digestive tolerance.

ChelaPure®: advanced chelation and optimized absorption

Magnesium Bisglycinate of Vitobest® incorporates ChelaPure®, a way of high quality aminochelated magnesium, made under strict standards of verified chelation. In this structure, Magnesium is stably bound to two glycine molecules, forming a complex that is protected against the digestive environment and promoting its absorption. through amino acid transporters³.

Thanks to this, magnesium bisglycinate has a higher bioavailability compared to traditional forms such as magnesium oxide, in addition to a excellent digestive tolerance and absence of laxative effect typical of other more irritating magnesium salts⁴.

100 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule

Each capsule provides 500 mg of ChelaPure® magnesium bisglycinate, equivalent to 100 mg of actual elemental magnesium. A practical and effective dose to complement the daily needs of this mineral in a single intake.

Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of muscles and the nervous system, to normal energy metabolism, to electrolyte balance, to normal psychological function, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and to the maintenance of bones and teeth in normal conditions.⁵.

The added value of glycine

Glycine, the amino acid to which magnesium is attached, also provides its own benefits. It is a Neurotransmitter with a modulating effect on the central nervous system, associated in clinical studies with an improvement in sleep quality and a reduction in the time needed to fall asleep.⁶.

Therefore, this formula turns out to be especially interesting in people with sustained physical or mental stress, athletes looking to optimize muscle recovery, people with poor tolerance to other forms of magnesium or anyone who wishes to meet their magnesium needs with a clean, effective, and highly bioavailable formula.

Format and presentation

Its format in vegetable capsules (VegeCaps) makes it suitable for vegan diets and gluten-free. Each package contains 60 capsules, equivalent to 60 days of use following the usual recommendation.
