Magnesium Bisglycinate Capsules

Description Magnesium Bisglycinate Capsules 200 mg chelated magnesium per capsule. Two ingredients, 100% plant-based. Produced in our own facility in the Netherlands. ✓ Just two ingredients ✓ 100% plant-based ✓ 200 mg elemental magnesium per capsule The purest magnesium capsule we make Turn the packaging over and read the ingredient list. It is short: magnesium bisglycinate and a plant-based capsule. Two ingredients. No filler, no coating, no anti-caking agent, no stearic acid, no glycerine, no carnauba wax. What is not in it says just as much about this product as what is. Most magnesium supplements on the market contain a whole range of excipients. These do not serve your health but make the production process easier or cheaper. With these capsules we have deliberately omitted them. The result is the purest magnesium product in our range: only magnesium bisglycinate, packaged in a plant-based HPMC capsule. Nothing more. Why more and more people are taking extra magnesium Magnesium is involved in more than 300 processes in the body: from muscle function and energy metabolism to bone formation and nerve function. Despite this importance, nearly two thirds of the population in the Western world does not reach the recommended daily amount. Dietary guidelines recommend 300 mg per day for women and 350 mg for men. The reason is not that people eat poorly. The reason is that the food itself contains fewer minerals than it used to. Researcher Paul Bergner demonstrated that vegetables in the US between 1914 and 1997 contained on average five times less magnesium. Spinach, tomatoes, lettuce: all declined. The cause is intensive agriculture. Fertilisers replenish nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but not magnesium. Average mineral content (calcium, magnesium and iron) in vegetables in the US, 1914–1997. Source: Bergner 1997, The Healing Power of Minerals. Add cooking (magnesium dissolves in cooking water), vitamin D deficiency, medication use and the ageing process, and the picture becomes clear: many people structurally take in less magnesium than their body needs. A pure magnesium supplement without unnecessary additions can make that difference. Why bisglycinate is the purest choice Those who are conscious about what goes into a supplement also want to know how it is absorbed. With magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate, the bond can break down in the stomach. The result: free magnesium that draws moisture into the intestines and at higher dosages causes gastrointestinal complaints. With Magnesium Bisglycinate this is different. The magnesium is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. This chelation is so strong that it remains intact under the influence of stomach acid (Schuette et al., 1994). The mineral arrives protected in the intestine and is absorbed there without the side effects of less stable magnesium forms. Glycine is more than a transport molecule. It is an amino acid involved in the body in the production of collagen, glutathione (one of the most important antioxidants) and creatine. And glycine is naturally plant-derived, making bisglycinate fully suitable for vegetarians and vegans. 200 mg elemental magnesium per capsule The number that matters in a magnesium supplement is elemental magnesium: the amount your body can actually absorb and use. Our capsules contain 1,000 mg magnesium bisglycinate per capsule, of which 200 mg is elemental magnesium. That is 53% of the daily nutrient reference value per capsule. 200 mg per capsule, without excipients, at this price Many magnesium bisglycinate capsules on the market contain 100 to 150 mg elemental magnesium per capsule, supplemented with fillers and other excipients. Our capsules contain 200 mg elemental magnesium from pure bisglycinate, without additions. That is 20% elemental magnesium, a percentage you will find in very few magnesium bisglycinate products. The 180-count pack offers you this for €49.95, the 60-count pack for €18.95. Because we produce in-house in our own facility, without intermediaries, we can offer the purest formulation in our range at a price you would not expect for a capsule of this quality. 100% plant-based, from capsule to content The capsule is made from HPMC (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose), a plant-based material. The content is magnesium bisglycinate, where the amino acid glycine is naturally plant-derived. No animal-based ingredients or excipients of animal origin have been added. This makes the product fully suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Not as an afterthought or mention in fine print, but as a deliberate choice in the formulation. From capsule to content: plant-based. Use and dosage The recommended dosage is two capsules per day, preferably with a meal. This provides 400 mg elemental magnesium (106% NRV). The capsules have a neutral taste and are easy to take with a glass of water. The capsule size is #00, a common size for supplements with a higher dosage. Feedback from our customers is excellent: users particularly appreciate the gentle effect on the stomach and the neutral taste.

With a product containing just two ingredients, the quality of the raw material is everything. That is why we check twice. First the raw material upon arrival. Every delivery of Magnesium Bisglycinate is tested for magnesium content (minimum 20%), microbiological purity and heavy metals. The requirements are documented in our Product Specification Sheet, which is personally signed by founder Paul Klein Breteler for quality control. After production follows the second check: every batch is independently analysed by Eurofins, an RvA-accredited laboratory. The most recent analysis shows how clean this product is: the cadmium content is more than twenty times below the European safety limit, lead more than one hundred and fifty times. Microbiologically, the product scores below the detection threshold. Our philosophy: full label transparency Both the Product Specification Sheet and the Eurofins certificate of analysis are available for viewing in the product gallery on this page. We believe you have the right to know exactly what you are taking, and therefore publish these documents for your review. The product is certified GMO-free in accordance with EC 1830/2003 and non-irradiated in accordance with EC 1999/2. Developed by Kala Health since 1997 “Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for the human body. Many people who take magnesium start to feel better and function better. That shows how essential this mineral is. A great deal of research has been conducted on bisglycinate and it shows that it is well absorbed. Possibly even better than citrate.” Paul Klein Breteler Founder Kala Health Kala Health was founded in 1997 by Paul Klein Breteler. Our Magnesium Bisglycinate Capsules were personally formulated by Paul. The decision to use only magnesium bisglycinate and a plant-based capsule, without excipients, is characteristic of Paul’s view on product development: do not add more than necessary.
