Magnesium chelate bisglycinate is among the best absorbed forms of magnesium on the market. One of our doses contains 225 mg of pure magnesium with laboratory-verified purity. Magnesium contributes to reducing fatigue and exhaustion, normal muscle and nervous system function, and electrolyte balance. The product is vegan, allergen-free and GMO-free, and we make it in our own production.
Magnesium chelate bisglycinate is a mineral bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine, creating a stable chelate complex different from free inorganic forms such as magnesium oxide. This chelate bond belongs among forms of magnesium that are better tolerated by the digestive tract and therefore excellently absorbed. One dose provides the body with 225 mg of elemental, fully usable pure magnesium, which corresponds to 60 % of the reference intake value.¹ We make it in our own production and regularly test it in independent German laboratories for heavy metals and microbiology, as well as for the amount of active substances.
The essential difference lies in the absorption mechanism. Common inorganic forms such as magnesium oxide have very low bioavailability. The body therefore cannot use most of the substance, which may unnecessarily irritate the digestive tract.
In chelate form, the mineral is firmly bound to the amino acid glycine. The body does not recognize this stable complex as an ordinary ion, but absorbs it similarly to proteins. Magnesium therefore gains a “priority entry” into the body, does not have to compete for absorption with other minerals and is gentler on digestion. The result is excellent usability of every dose.
With dietary supplements, safety and transparency of the whole process play a key role, from raw material selection to the final capsule. Here are 8 points that GymBeam does differently:
- Magnesium chelate bisglycinate is created by chemical synthesis, in which the mineral molecule binds to two glycine molecules.
- The production process does not use any solvent, so the final raw material contains no solvent residues.
- The supplied form contains at least 98 % magnesium bisglycinate and at least 13.5 % elemental magnesium in dry matter.
- Raw material production is covered by ISO 9001 certification for quality management, ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 for food safety based on HACCP principles. The raw material is also Halal certified.
- Every batch undergoes heavy metal content control (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury), pesticide residues and ethylene oxide. The monitored values are below the specified limits or below the detection limit. Microbiological parameters meet strict limits.
- The raw material is not irradiated during production or storage and contains no nanoparticles.
- The final product is completely GMO-free and contains none of the 14 main allergens.
- We make the product in our own production.
Magnesium is a mineral involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. It contributes to reducing fatigue and exhaustion, supports normal muscle and nervous system function and contributes to normal psychological function.¹˒⁵
In addition, it is involved in protein synthesis and contributes to maintaining healthy bones.¹ It also participates in the process of cell division and contributes to electrolyte balance, meaning the maintenance of the correct level of important ions such as sodium, potassium and magnesium itself.¹
Who is magnesium chelate (bisglycinate) suitable for?
- Athletes and physically active individuals who appreciate support for normal muscle function during regular training.
- Endurance athletes, runners and HYROX participants whose intense sweating increases the need to replenish electrolytes including magnesium.
- People with demanding work or study loads who appreciate help with reducing fatigue and exhaustion as well as support for normal psychological function. During periods of increased mental stress, the body naturally loses more magnesium through increased urinary excretion.⁷
- People with one-sided or restricted diets who do not cover the recommended magnesium intake from common sources such as whole grains, legumes or nuts.
- Users of GLP-1 medicines (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) who, during changes in eating habits, are looking for an easy way to supplement magnesium intake.
When to take magnesium chelate?
You can take the capsules at any time during the day, according to your own needs, because the choice of time is more a matter of personal habit than necessity. Some people prefer taking them in the evening hours, after daily activities, when magnesium contributes to normal muscle and nervous system function.¹
Taking magnesium chelate with food
You can take the capsules on an empty stomach or together with food. Bisglycinate belongs among organic forms of magnesium that tend to be gentler on digestion thanks to their chelate structure, so it does not have to be taken exclusively with food. If you are more sensitive, divide the dose into several parts during the day or take it together with food.⁶
Taking magnesium chelate together with other minerals and medicines
At higher doses, magnesium can compete for absorption with calcium because both minerals use similar transport pathways in the intestine.⁹ If you take antibiotics from the tetracycline or quinolone group, keep a gap of at least two hours before taking them, or four to six hours after, because they can form complexes with magnesium that reduce medicine absorption.⁸ Use similar caution with bisphosphonates used in osteoporosis treatment.⁸ If you take any regular medication, consult a doctor or pharmacist about magnesium supplementation in advance.
Long-term use of magnesium chelate
Take magnesium long term, ideally for several weeks, so that the benefits mentioned above can appear. The body replenishes its magnesium stores gradually, so the full benefit of supplementation does not appear immediately after the first dose.
