An important mineral involved in more than 600 of the body’s enzymatic reactions
The mineral magnesium is crucial for the body to function properly because magnesium is involved in more than 600 of the body's enzymatic reactions.* The compound magnesium bisglycinate is also called magnesium glycinate. However, because it has two glycine molecules attached, it is more accurately called “bisglycinate” (bis = two). Two separate glycine molecules occupy an active site on each magnesium molecule, leading to superior absorption because of increased solubility.
