The Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate from Doctor's Formulas is a dietary supplement in capsules, with chelated diglycine magnesium MagChel. Each capsule contains 125mg MagChel and the 90-capsule pack covers one month with the recommended intake of three capsules daily. It is aimed at adults who want a mild magnesium form and prefer to divide the dose throughout the day.
Magnesium is a macronutrient essential for the body. It contributes to the normal functioning of muscles*, the normal functioning of the nervous system*, the normal psychological function*, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue*, the electrolyte balance*, the normal energy-yielding metabolism*, the normal protein synthesis*, the maintenance of normal bones and teeth* and has a role in the process of cell division*.
In the chelated diglycine form, the magnesium ion is bound to two glycine molecules, the simplest amino acid. The resulting molecule is stable and electrically neutral, a characteristic that the literature associates with good tolerance by the digestive tract. Practically this means that this form is often chosen by people who have a sensitive stomach or who have trouble with other magnesium salts. MagChel is the standard raw material used by Doctor's Formulas in this formula.
Glycine is not just a carrier. It is the smallest of the amino acids that make up the proteins of the body and participates in the structure of collagen. As an amino acid, it does not carry an authorized health claim in the European Union, so here it is mentioned only in relation to its role in the formation of the chelated compound.
According to the manufacturer, the formula does not contain sugar, sodium or other additives. The product has been notified to the EFSA with number 77029 / 13-7-2023.
It suits adults who want daily magnesium coverage and prefer the capsule form over the tablet, as well as those who have already tried other forms of magnesium and are looking for something milder on the stomach. Because the dose is divided into three intakes, it is useful for those who want to distribute it throughout the meals of the day. It is not intended for children. In case of kidney insufficiency, medication or pregnancy and lactation, use only after consultation with your doctor.
Three capsules daily, ideally with a meal. You can divide them into three meals or take them all together at one time, depending on what suits you best.
The diglycine form is chosen precisely because it is considered mild. Nevertheless, taking it with food reduces the likelihood of discomfort.
With three capsules a day, the 90 capsules last for 30 days.
Most multivitamins contain a small amount of magnesium. If you want more targeted coverage, discuss it with your pharmacist so as not to exceed the recommended total intake.
Yes. Magnesium supplements should be taken two hours away from tetracycline and quinoline antibiotics because they can affect their absorption.
