Purica Effervescent Magnesium Bisglycinate Powder, 350mg Magnesium per Teaspoon, Raspberry, 300g

Purica Effervescent Magnesium Bisglycinate Powder Details

Purica Effervescent Magnesium Bisglycinate Powder delivers 350 mg of elemental magnesium per teaspoon as magnesium bisglycinate — magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine, the form chosen for absorption and for being gentle on the digestive system. The effervescent base means it fizzes and dissolves fully in water rather than settling at the bottom of the glass, which is the usual complaint with magnesium powders. Natural raspberry flavour. 300 g.

Quick Facts

Who Purica Effervescent Magnesium Bisglycinate Powder Is For

• Adults who find magnesium capsules awkward or need several to reach a useful dose
• Anyone whose stomach reacts to magnesium oxide or citrate — bisglycinate is the gentle form
• People wanting magnesium for sleep, muscle relaxation or cramping
• Anyone who has given up on a magnesium powder that wouldn't dissolve properly
• Those who would rather drink their magnesium than swallow pills

Who this product is NOT for: If you specifically want magnesium for constipation relief, citrate or oxide draws more water into the bowel and will suit you better — bisglycinate is deliberately the non-laxative form. If you dislike flavoured drinks or avoid added flavouring, an unflavoured capsule is the simpler choice. People with kidney disease should not supplement magnesium without medical supervision.

Vitamart's Take

The effervescence is the real differentiator here, and it sounds trivial until you've stirred a magnesium powder for two minutes and still drunk grit. At 350 mg per teaspoon this is a full daily dose in one serving, which is three or four capsules' worth of most bisglycinate products. Bisglycinate is the form to choose if magnesium has upset your stomach before. The one thing to know is that it's deliberately not laxative — if that's what you're after, buy citrate instead.

How Purica Effervescent Magnesium Bisglycinate Powder Compares

Bisglycinate vs Citrate

Magnesium bisglycinate (this product): Bound to glycine. Well absorbed and gentle on the gut. The form for sleep, muscle relaxation and daily topping up.
Magnesium citrate: Also well absorbed, but draws water into the bowel. The form to choose if you want the laxative effect, and to avoid if you don't.

Bisglycinate vs Oxide

Magnesium bisglycinate: High absorption, gentle.
Magnesium oxide: Cheap and high in elemental magnesium by weight, but poorly absorbed and the most likely to cause loose stools. Common in budget products.

Effervescent Powder vs Capsules

This powder: 350 mg in one teaspoon, dissolves completely, flavoured.
Capsules: Typically 80–200 mg each, so three or four capsules to match one teaspoon here. No flavour, easier to travel with.

Which Magnesium Form Should You Choose?

Magnesium is always bound to something else, and that partner determines how well it absorbs and what it does to your digestion.

• Bisglycinate: Bound to glycine. Best absorbed, gentlest, mildly calming. For sleep, muscle relaxation and daily use.
• Citrate: Bound to citric acid. Well absorbed and mildly laxative. For constipation as well as general use.
• Malate: Bound to malic acid, which features in cellular energy production. Often chosen for fatigue.
• Oxide: Poorly absorbed, most likely to loosen stools. Cheap, and common in budget formulas.
• Threonate: Crosses into the brain more readily. Marketed for cognitive support, and the most expensive.

Most Canadians don't reach the recommended intake from food alone. Bisglycinate is the sensible default if you have no specific reason to choose another form.

How To Use

Adults: Mix 1 teaspoon into a glass of water, once daily. Let it finish fizzing before drinking. Evening dosing suits most people, 30–60 minutes before bed.

Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have kidney disease, or take medication — magnesium can affect the absorption of some antibiotics and thyroid medication, so separate them by at least two hours.
