Why magnesium bisglycinate?

  

Rest for the nervous system, recovery for the body

Magnesium is one of the most widely used minerals in the human body. It plays a role in more than 300 enzymatic processes involved in energy production, muscle function, and nervous system regulation.

Magnesium bisglycinate is a chelate form, where magnesium is bound to the amino acid glycine. This compound is particularly well tolerated by the body and efficiently absorbed through the intestine.

Within clinical psycho-neuro-immunology (KPNI), we view magnesium as an essential mineral for restoring the neuro-metabolic balance, especially during periods of stress, fatigue, or increased stress on the nervous system.

Not every form of magnesium is absorbed equally well. Many cheaper forms (such as oxide) are poorly absorbed and can more easily cause stomach or intestinal discomfort.

Magnesium bisglycinate stands out due to:

• high biological availability
• gentle effect on stomach and intestines
• support for relaxation and sleep
• support for muscle function and recovery
• role in cognitive processes such as concentration and memory

The amino acid glycine also has a calming effect on the central nervous system, making this form of magnesium particularly suitable for mental overload.

When is magnesium often used?

From an orthomolecular and KPNI perspective, magnesium is often used in situations such as:

• stress and mental overload
• fatigue or recovery after exertion
• tense muscles or cramps
• reduced sleep quality
• increased need due to intensive lifestyle

Many people, due to modern lifestyles and diets, have a relatively low magnesium intake, while the need can increase with stress or physical exertion.


chosen by Optimaal Gezond Lab

At Optimaal Gezond Lab, we select supplements according to three principles:

biological absorbability
pure formulation
minimal impact on metabolism and gut

Magnesium bisglycinate meets these criteria and fits well within an integrative approach aimed at restoring the nervous, immune, and energy systems.


Usage

Recommended use:
1–2 tablets per day, preferably during or after a meal.

In practice, magnesium is often used in the evening, as it can support relaxation of the nervous system.


Composition (per tablet)

Magnesium (as bisglycinate) – 100 mg elemental magnesium
