Most magnesium supplements on the market contain magnesium oxide — a cheap form with bioavailability no greater than 4%. This means 96% of ingested magnesium is excreted unused. Magnesium Bisglycinate is radically different: magnesium is chelated to two glycine molecules, allowing it to cross the intestinal wall via the amino acid absorption pathway. Result: bioavailability reaching 80% with zero laxative effect.
What makes bisglycinate superior to plain citrate is its dual action. Magnesium regulates over 300 enzymatic reactions, modulates NMDA receptors (reducing neuronal excitability), potentiates GABA (the brain's natural calming agent), and regulates the nocturnal cortisol response. Glycine, in turn, acts independently as a central nervous system inhibitor: it improves slow-wave deep sleep quality and lowers core body temperature — two essential signals for rapid, restorative sleep onset.
Epidemiological data shows that over 70% of the population has insufficient magnesium intake. Chronic stress, caffeine, alcohol, and depleted agricultural soils worsen this deficit. Our 500mg per capsule formula (~100mg elemental magnesium) effectively covers supplementation needs: 2 to 3 capsules in the evening deliver 200-300mg pure elemental Mg, covering 50-75% of the daily reference intake.
Nootropic.ma uses exclusively pure chelate Magnesium Bisglycinate — no oxide, no chloride, no carbonate form. Our HPMC vegetal capsules are gluten-free, lactose-free, and free from unnecessary additives. Elemental magnesium purity is verified batch by batch. A nootropist's foundational supplement — often the first one recommended before any advanced cognitive stack.
