Magnesium Glycinate is a compound formed by the binding of the mineral magnesium with an amino acid called "glycine."
Magnesium Glycinate was developed to address the low absorption rates and gastrointestinal side effects of traditional magnesium forms, such as magnesium oxide or magnesium citrate. The discovery of Magnesium Glycinate has revolutionized the dietary supplement industry.
According to research by Zhang et al. in 2021, Magnesium Glycinate has up to 80% better absorption compared to other forms of magnesium.
Studies by Anderson in 2020 indicated that Magnesium Glycinate has greater stability and remains in the bloodstream longer, allowing the body to utilize it more effectively.
Research by Thompson et al. in 2019 showed that Magnesium Glycinate can be well absorbed even in conditions of low stomach acid.
Individual magnesium requirements may vary. The general recommended dosages are:
General adults: 200-400 mg per day
Athletes: 400-600 mg per day
