Naka Herbs Magnesium Bisglycinate 200mg Elemental Magnesium, Supports Muscle Function, Bones and Teeth, 120-260 Vegetable Capsules

Naka Herbs Magnesium Bisglycinate 200mg Details

Naka Herbs Magnesium Bisglycinate 200mg delivers 200mg of elemental magnesium from magnesium bisglycinate in a single vegetable capsule — a highly bioavailable chelated form in which each magnesium ion is bound to two glycine molecules. The 200mg is elemental magnesium, not the weight of the compound: the distinction between a real 200mg dose and a label that only looks like one.

Magnesium is needed to metabolise carbohydrates, proteins and fats, for healthy bones and teeth, for proper muscle function and for overall good health. It also helps in tissue formation and is a factor in the maintenance of good health. Made in Canada, in a 120- or 260-capsule bottle.

Quick Facts

Who Magnesium Bisglycinate Is For

• People who tried magnesium oxide or citrate and found it ran straight through them — bisglycinate is the gentlest common form on the gut
• Anyone with night-time leg cramps or tight calves after training, since magnesium helps maintain muscle function
• Adults who want magnesium's bone and teeth contribution alongside calcium or vitamin D
• Households with teenagers — the label covers adolescents from 9 to 18 years
• People who read excipient lists and want two non-medicinal ingredients, not ten
• Anyone restocking a daily magnesium who wants a 260-capsule bottle, not a monthly reorder

Who this product is NOT for: If you take magnesium to relieve constipation, bisglycinate is the wrong choice — it is built to be absorbed rather than to draw water into the bowel, so magnesium citrate does that job far better. For cognitive support, Magnesium L-Threonate Supplements cross into the brain more readily. If capsules are a problem, a magnesium powder is the better format.

Vitamart's Take

This is one of the highest-volume magnesium SKUs we sell, and the reason is unglamorous: it does one thing without fuss. Two hundred milligrams of elemental magnesium from bisglycinate, one capsule, two non-medicinal ingredients, made in Canada, and a 260-count bottle. No proprietary blend, no second mineral diluting the dose.

The honest trade-off is that bisglycinate is bulky. Binding magnesium to two glycine molecules is what makes it gentle and well absorbed, but the chelate weighs several times more than the magnesium it carries — which is why 200mg elemental needs a full-size capsule, and why bisglycinate costs more per milligram than oxide. If lowest cost per milligram is what you want, buy oxide and accept the digestive consequences. If you want magnesium you can take daily without thinking about it, buy this.

How Magnesium Bisglycinate Compares

Magnesium shopping comes down to two questions most labels obscure: which form, and whether the milligram figure is elemental magnesium or the whole compound.

• Versus CanPrev magnesium: CanPrev's bisglycinate is the other serious Canadian bisglycinate on our shelf and competes directly on form quality. Compare elemental magnesium per capsule and capsules per bottle — 260 capsules at 200mg elemental changes the per-day maths.
• Versus Vitacheck magnesium: Vitacheck sits at the value end. Compare forms first — an oxide or blended magnesium is not interchangeable with a fully chelated bisglycinate on absorption or gut tolerance.
• Versus citrate and oxide: Citrate absorbs well and costs less but has a real laxative effect. Oxide is high in elemental magnesium by weight yet absorbs poorly, so most of what you swallow stays in the gut.

Why Magnesium and Glycine Together?

Magnesium is a positively charged mineral ion, and in that bare state it does not cross the intestinal wall efficiently — it also holds water in the bowel, the mechanism behind the loose stools people associate with low-cost magnesium. A chelate solves this by wrapping the mineral in an amino acid carrier: in magnesium bisglycinate, two molecules of the amino acid glycine bond to each magnesium ion, producing a neutral, stable complex the gut handles as an amino acid rather than a free mineral salt.

Absorption improves, so more of the dose reaches your bloodstream instead of staying in the intestine, and the digestive upset largely disappears. Because glycine adds weight, a capsule stating 200mg of elemental magnesium contains well over a gram of the bisglycinate compound — always compare elemental magnesium between products.

How To Use
