MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE IS A SUPERIOR FORM OF MAGNESIUM AND A BETTER OPTION THAT MAGNESIUM MALATE (IN OUR OPINION)
Here's the breakdown - -
Magnesium Glycinate - is one of the safest forms of magnesium and our top pick. Research shows it is safest option when taken in high amounts to correct deficiencies.
- Magnesium bound with the amino acid glycine
- Highly bioavailable (increased absorption rates)
- Safest form of magnesium
- Least likely to cause digestive issues
On top of that, glycine is an important amino acid that plays a significant role in the production of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant, and the production of creatine. And we all know the benefits of creatine.
Magnesium Malate - is a compound formed by combining magnesium and malic acid.
- Magnesium + malic acid
- Often used for chronic fatigue
- Highly bioavailable
Here's why we believe magnesium glycinate is the best option out there:
Chelated: Magnesium glycinate is a chelated form of magnesium - chelated forms are better absorbed and digested easier when compared to non-chelated forms.
Bioavailability: Studies show that chelated forms of minerals can be absorbed up to twice as effectively as non-chelated forms - allowing lower doses to have the same benefits as high doses of non-chelated minerals.
Safety: Due to chelation - magnesium glycinate has been studied to be the safest form when taken in high amounts.
