What is magnesium?

Magnesium is a mineral used by our body in the maintenance of bone and muscle. It also plays a role in the energy production of body cells, the transmission of stimuli between (nerve) cells and nerve pathways and proper functioning of various enzymes.

You can get magnesium from your diet. Cereal products, nuts, dairy and bananas, among others, are good sources of magnesium-rich foods. However, the body is unable to absorb all the magnesium from your food properly. That's why using a supplement like our Magnesium Bisglycinate can be supportive in meeting your daily requirement.

Preventing magnesium deficiency with Magnesium Bisglycinate

A magnesium deficiency can cause unpleasant symptoms. You may recognise a deficiency through; frequent muscle cramps, decreased appetite, lethargy and brittle bones. XXL Nutrition would like to help you avoid magnesium deficiency. 

Our Magnesium Bisglycinate contains 150 mg of the highest quality magnesium per capsule. Bisglycinate is an organic form of magnesium, as is magnesium citrate. As a result, it has high bioavailability. This means your body is able to effectively absorb this form of magnesium. 

Magnesium bisglycinate is a combination of magnesium with bisglycinate. The body does not see this form as a mineral, but as an amino acid. This benefits absorption in the body, because the body is more effective at absorbing amino acids than minerals. Magnesium bisglycinate also prevents magnesium from combining with phytates and phosphorus (these substances cause magnesium to be less well absorbed).
