They are two names for the same compound.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Bisglycinate\" is the chemically precise name: \u003cem\u003ebis\u003c\/em\u003e means two, and the magnesium is bound to two molecules of glycine. \"Glycinate\" is the shortened form that most brands and most shoppers use. If you have been looking for magnesium glycinate, this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou may also see it written as magnesium bisglycinate chelate, magnesium diglycinate, or magnesium glycine chelate. All describe the same magnesium-and-glycine compound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat chelated magnesium means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium never appears on its own in a supplement. It is a reactive metal, so it always arrives bound to something else — an oxide, a citrate, a carbonate, or in this case an amino acid. What it is bound to is the single biggest difference between magnesium products on a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChelation means the magnesium is held within an organic molecule rather than paired with a simple inorganic salt. Here, two glycine molecules wrap around each magnesium ion. Glycine is the smallest of the amino acids and a normal component of dietary protein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne practical consequence: the compound is heavy relative to the magnesium inside it. Each capsule provides \u003cstrong\u003e77mg of elemental magnesium\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the rest of the capsule weight is the glycine carrier. This is why, when comparing magnesium supplements, the figures that matter are the \u003cstrong\u003eelemental magnesium\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003e%RI\u003c\/strong\u003e — never the large milligram number on the front of the jar, which usually describes the compound rather than the mineral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy people choose the glycinate form\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlycinate is the form most often chosen by people who have not got on well with other magnesium supplements. Magnesium in any form draws water into the bowel at higher intakes, which is why magnesium has a long-standing reputation as a laxative — and why some people abandon it. Simpler magnesium salts tend to produce that effect at lower intakes than chelated forms do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also the form usually chosen by people taking magnesium in the evening, and by anyone who prefers a supplement with a short ingredient list. This one has two lines on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat magnesium contributes to\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium is involved in a very large number of enzymatic processes — the figure usually quoted is over 300.

Identical compound, two names. \"Bisglycinate\" is the technically precise term; \"glycinate\" is the common shorthand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo capsules or three?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo is the standard serving and already makes the product high in magnesium. Three raises the intake to 61.6% of the Reference Intake. Start at two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the magnesium figure smaller than the compound weight?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause the compound weight includes the two glycine molecules the magnesium is bound to. The magnesium itself is 77mg per capsule. This is normal for chelated minerals and is why %RI is the figure worth comparing between products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it compare to magnesium citrate or oxide?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCitrate and oxide are inorganic salts; bisglycinate is an amino acid chelate. Oxide carries the most magnesium per milligram of compound, citrate sits in between, and bisglycinate the least — which is why chelated products need a larger capsule or more of them to reach the same %RI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is glycine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe smallest of the twenty amino acids, and a normal part of dietary protein. Here it acts as the carrier the magnesium is bound to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I take it with food?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
