Magnesium buffered: bisglycinate and oxide in a single formula
Buffered Magnesium Bisglycinate (175 mg Magnesium) from EssentialSeries is a plant-based capsule dietary supplement that combines bisglycinate magnesium and magnesium oxide.
This combination yields a buffered form of bisglycinate, designed to provide 175 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule in a convenient, tasteless format that’s easy to incorporate into any routine.
Two sources of magnesium, a clearly defined amount, and the convenience of a single capsule.
What does it mean that it’s buffered magnesium bisglycinate?
In this product, the term buffered indicates that the magnesium bisglycinate is presented in combination with magnesium oxide. Therefore, it isn’t a formula composed exclusively of bisglycinate, but a blend of both mineral sources.
Bisglycinate is a form where magnesium is bound to the amino acid glycine, while magnesium oxide helps complete the mineral content of the formula. The result is a quality supplement that delivers a high amount of elemental magnesium in a single capsule.
175 mg of magnesium in each capsule
Each capsule provides 175 mg of elemental magnesium. This is the actual amount of magnesium contributed by the combination of bisglycinate and magnesium oxide, regardless of the total weight of bisglycinate and oxide present in the formulation.
Its capsule format avoids measuring or dissolving powders and makes it easy to maintain a consistent regimen. Just follow the usage directions on the label.
