The Health Aid Magnesium Bisglycinate 375mg is a dietary supplement in tablet form, with bisglycinate magnesium, that is magnesium in chelated form bonded with two glycine molecules, enhanced with Vitamin B6. The package contains 60 tablets, which is a one-month course at the recommended dose.
It is aimed at adults who want to meet their magnesium needs with a form that is well tolerated by the digestive system. It is suitable for vegans and contains no gluten, wheat, soy, dairy, sugar, salt, yeast, artificial colors, preservatives or flavorings.
Magnesium is never found alone in a supplement. It is always bound to another molecule, and this molecule determines two things: how much elemental magnesium the tablet actually contains, and how well it is tolerated by the intestine.
In bisglycinate magnesium, the metal is chelated with two molecules of glycine, a natural amino acid. The compound utilizes amino acid absorption pathways rather than the classic metal pathways. This means that it differs from inorganic forms such as oxide, which in sensitive individuals and at higher doses are more often associated with gastrointestinal discomfort and loose stools.
Attention when reading the label. The «375mg» in the product name refers to the amount of chelated compound per tablet, not the elemental magnesium. The elemental magnesium is 75mg per tablet and 150mg in the recommended dose of two tablets, which is 40% of the Daily Value. This is the way all chelated formulations are named and it is worth knowing when comparing products per mg.
Magnesium is a cofactor in hundreds of enzymatic reactions, most of which are related to energy production and management in the cell. The authorized health claims for magnesium, under Regulation (EC) 1924/2006, are among the most substantiated in the category of minerals.
Vitamin B6, in the form of pyridoxine, is not a decorative addition. In the recommended dose of two tablets, it provides 5mg, which is 350% of the Daily Value, and its role coincides with that of magnesium in three areas: the nervous system, psychological function and fatigue.
Specifically, Vitamin B6 contributes to the normal function of the nervous system, the normal psychological function, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, the normal energy metabolism, the normal metabolism of proteins and glycogen, the normal red blood cell formation, the normal function of the immune system, and the regulation of hormonal activity.*
It suits adults with increased magnesium needs due to regular exercise or intense physical activity, those with reduced dietary intake, and those who have tried other forms of magnesium and did not tolerate them well from a digestive point of view. The combination with Vitamin B6 also makes it a reasonable choice for periods of fatigue and increased mental or physical exertion.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as those on medication, should consult their pharmacist before taking any supplement.
Per 2 tablets (recommended daily dose): Bisglycinate magnesium (chelated compound) 750mg, of which elemental magnesium 150mg (40% DV). Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) 5mg (350% DV).
Other ingredients: Bulking agent (dibasic phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose), anti-caking agent (vegetable stearate, vegetable stearate magnesium), coating (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose HPMC, glycerol).
Does not contain: yeast, gluten, wheat, soy, dairy, sugar, salt, artificial colors, preservatives or flavorings. Suitable for vegans.
Form: Coated tablets, 60 per pack. Recommended dosage: Adults and children over 12 years, 2 tablets daily. Adults may increase to 4 tablets daily if required or on the advice of a healthcare professional.
Preferably with food. The intake should be at least 2 hours away from tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics, as well as from bisphosphonate drugs for osteoporosis, as magnesium may reduce their absorption.
Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Dietary supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. The product is not intended for the prevention, treatment or cure of a human disease. Store in a cool and dry place, away from children.
Two tablets per day for adults and children over 12 years. Adults may increase to 4 tablets daily if needed or on the advice of a healthcare professional. In 2 tablets you take 150mg of elemental magnesium, which is 40% of the Daily Value.
No. The 375mg is the amount of the chelated compound bisglycinate magnesium per tablet. The elemental magnesium, that is the metal itself, is 75mg per tablet and 150mg in two tablets. When comparing formulations, always compare elemental to elemental.
Magnesium oxide is an inorganic form with high elemental magnesium content but lower solubility, and is more often associated with laxative action in the intestine. Bisglycinate is a chelated form, absorbed via amino acid pathways, and is usually chosen when oxide is not well tolerated.
The bisglycinate form is considered one of the best tolerated chelated forms of magnesium. Individual tolerance, however, varies; in case of sensitivity, it is recommended to start with one tablet per day with food, gradually increasing to two.
There is no mandatory time of intake. The two tablets can be taken together or divided into two doses, preferably with food, according to personal routine.
At the recommended dose of 2 tablets per day, the 60 tablets last for 30 days.
Yes. The product is declared suitable for vegans and the formulations, including stearic magnesium and stearic acid, are of plant origin. The coating is HPMC with glycerol, without gelatin.
Magnesium reduces the absorption of tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics, as well as of bisphosphonate drugs for osteoporosis. A distance of at least 2 hours is required. In case of any medication, it is recommended to consult with the pharmacist beforehand.
Yes, with caution regarding the total daily intake of magnesium from all sources to avoid excess. Special care is needed if already taking a multivitamin containing magnesium or Vitamin B6.
