Q: What is Magnesium bisglycinate and how does it differ from citrate?
A: Magnesium is a charged element that to stay stable needs to be chelated, or in other words, bounded to another compound. There are many chelated magnesium compounds available in the market. They differ in their bioavailability, purpose, and metabolism in the human body. Magnesium citrate is formed by magnesium and citrate. Magnesium citrate tends to have a laxative effect and is commonly used to treat constipation. Magnesium Bisglycinate is magnesium that is bound to two glycine amino acid molecules. Glycine on its own can improve sleep and reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. When combined with magnesium, these effects are enhanced, and the compound is considered to have high rates of absorption.

Q: Is this product suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
A: Yes. No animal sourced ingredients are found in this product.

Q: Why is Magnesium Oxide included, and how does it differ from Magnesium bisglycinate?
A: The absorption rate achieved through the combination of magnesium oxide with magnesium bisglycinate was found to be just as effective as magnesium bisglycinate alone. However, it's noteworthy that magnesium bisglycinate is a significantly more expensive ingredient. By incorporating magnesium oxide, a more cost-effective option, we can provide our customers with the advantages of magnesium bisglycinate at a more affordable price.

Q: Are there any known side effects or interactions with this product?
A: None, but if you are concerned you should speak with your health care provider.

Q: How should I take these capsules with or without food?
A: There is no need to take these capsules with food. Nevertheless, some individuals might experience stomach sensitivity to the capsules. In this case, taking the capsules with food can help reduce stomach discomfort. 

Q: Can I take more than 1 capsule per day?
A: Health Canada recommends limiting consumption to a maximum of 500 mg for adults, unless otherwise instructed by your health care provider. Organika(R) Magnesium Bisglycinate is 200 mg, thus it is safe to take up to 2 capsules per day.
