BiotechUSA Magnesium Bisglycinate - 90 capsules

BioTechUSA Magnesium Bisglycinate is a highly bioavailable chelated magnesium supplement enhanced with vitamin B6. Magnesium bisglycinate means the magnesium is bound to two glycine amino acids, ensuring significantly better absorption and gastrointestinal tolerance compared to common magnesium forms such as oxide or citrate.

Each daily serving (3 capsules) provides 250 mg of magnesium (67% NRV) and 2.0 mg of vitamin B6 (143% NRV). These two nutrients work synergistically — vitamin B6 helps improve magnesium uptake into cells and enhances its effectiveness in the body.

Why choose chelated magnesium?

Not all magnesium forms are equal. Chelated magnesium (bisglycinate) stands out with several key advantages:

• Higher bioavailability — chelated form is absorbed significantly better than regular magnesium oxide
• Better gastrointestinal tolerance — fewer side effects such as bloating and diarrhoea
• No competition with other minerals — chelated form is absorbed via a different pathway than inorganic magnesium forms
• Amino acid chelate protects magnesium — glycine bonds protect magnesium from degradation in the digestive tract

Confirmed functions of magnesium

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the human body. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has confirmed the following magnesium functions:

• Nervous system — contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system
• Muscle function — supports normal muscle function, including the heart muscle
• Mental well-being — helps maintain normal psychological function
• Energy — contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism
• Fatigue reduction — helps reduce tiredness and fatigue
• Bone health — helps maintain normal bone condition
• Electrolyte balance — important for maintaining electrolyte balance
• Protein synthesis — necessary for normal protein synthesis

Vitamin B6 as a synergistic addition

The added vitamin B6 (2.0 mg, 143% NRV) complements magnesium in several ways:

• Helps improve magnesium uptake into cells
• Supports magnesium utilisation in enzymatic reactions
• Contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system (EFSA confirmed)
• Helps reduce tiredness and fatigue (EFSA confirmed)

Who is it suitable for?

• Athletes and active individuals — intense training increases magnesium requirements
• People with stressful lifestyles — magnesium supports normal nervous system function
• People with sensitive digestion — bisglycinate form is better tolerated than common magnesium forms
• Older adults — the risk of magnesium deficiency increases with age
• Anyone looking to supplement magnesium intake in a highly bioavailable form
