It is a magnesium food supplement providing 200 mg of elemental magnesium per 2-tablet serving, from 2,000 mg of Albion magnesium bisglycinate. Bisglycinate is a chelated form, magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine.
How much magnesium is actually in it?
200 mg of elemental magnesium per 2-tablet serving, which is 53% of the EU Nutrient Reference Value of 375 mg. This is the elemental figure, the amount of magnesium you actually get, not the total compound weight.
What does magnesium do?
Under EU authorised claims, magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal psychological function, and to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
Is magnesium bisglycinate the same as magnesium glycinate?
Yes, in everyday retail they refer to the same compound: magnesium chelated with glycine. Many brands shorten "bisglycinate" to "glycinate" on the label.
How do I take it?
Take 2 tablets daily with food. Splitting the dose across meals can improve tolerance. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
