LIPOSOMAL MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE. BISGLYCINATE CHELATE PHOSPHOLIPID COMPLEX
CODEAGE
Overview
This supplement aims to provide magnesium through a combination of highly bioavailable magnesium bisglycinate chelate and less bioavailable magnesium oxide, alongside a 'liposomal blend' and BioPerine®. While the bisglycinate is effective, the presence of magnesium oxide and the ambiguity of the liposomal delivery for the magnesium itself may limit overall efficacy compared to a pure magnesium bisglycinate product. The total magnesium content is appropriate for daily supplementation.
The Good
Provides Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate, a well-absorbed form of magnesium known for its high bioavailability and reduced gastrointestinal side effects compared to other forms.
Contains BioPerine® (Black Pepper Extract), which is known to enhance the bioavailability of certain nutrients, potentially improving overall absorption, though its direct effect on magnesium absorption is less evidenced.
The 350mg elemental magnesium per serving is a clinically relevant dose to address magnesium deficiency and support various bodily functions.
The Bad
Inclusion of Magnesium Oxide, a less bioavailable form of magnesium, alongside glycinate.
The term "liposomal blend" is used, but the amount of actual liposomal magnesium is unclear due to the presence of magnesium oxide.
Lacks specific clinical trials on this exact formulation to support enhanced absorption claims for the magnesium blend.
Is it for you?
