Organika Magnesium Bisglycinate 200 mg (120 VCaps)

Organika Magnesium Bisglycinate gives you 200 mg of elemental magnesium in one vegetarian capsule, from magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium oxide. Helps to maintain normal muscle function. One capsule is the full daily dose, so a bottle of 120 lasts four months.

What Organika Magnesium Bisglycinate is licensed for

It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80126458. The licence lists four recommended uses:

• Helps to maintain normal muscle function.
• Helps in energy metabolism and tissue formation.
• Helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth.
• Helps to maintain normal electrolyte balance.

Magnesium is involved in more than 300 enzyme reactions in the body, including the ones that turn food into usable energy and the ones that let muscle fibres contract and relax. It is also one of the main minerals stored in bone.

Why bisglycinate

Magnesium bisglycinate is a chelated form: each magnesium atom is bound to two molecules of glycine, a small amino acid. It is the form many people pick when they want a magnesium they can take every day without fuss. This formula pairs it with magnesium oxide, a dense form that carries more elemental magnesium per milligram. That combination is how a single standard-size capsule reaches 200 mg.

Which Organika magnesium suits you

Organika makes several magnesium formulas, and the difference is what the magnesium is paired with. Bisglycinate is the everyday choice at one capsule a day. Magnesium Malate binds magnesium to malic acid, Magnesium Taurate binds it to the amino acid taurine, and Magnesium Bisglycinate + Melatonin adds melatonin and GABA for night-time use. If you want straightforward daily magnesium with nothing else added, this is the one.

How to take it

Adults 19 and over take 1 capsule a day. If you also take a multivitamin or another product with magnesium, add up the amounts before you start. Apart from the magnesium, each capsule contains microcrystalline cellulose, non-GMO vegetable-source magnesium stearate and a hypromellose shell. There are no flavours, colours or sweeteners.

Organika Magnesium Bisglycinate FAQ

How much magnesium is in each capsule?

200 mg of elemental magnesium. That is the amount of the mineral itself, not the weight of the whole compound.

How long does a bottle last?

120 days at the label dose of one capsule a day.

Is magnesium bisglycinate the same as magnesium glycinate?

Yes, both mean magnesium bound to glycine. "Bisglycinate" spells out that two glycine molecules are attached to each magnesium.

Is it vegetarian?

Yes. The capsule shell is plant-based hypromellose.

Can I combine it with other magnesium products?

Add up the elemental magnesium from everything you take, multivitamins included, and check with a health care practitioner if the total goes above what the labels recommend.
