Magnesium Bisglycinate 1200 mg
Overview
This supplement combines magnesium bisglycinate with selected amino acids and B-vitamins. The overall aim is to support everyday nervous system function and normal muscle function as part of a balanced routine. The formula is designed for people who want a magnesium-focused product with complementary cofactors.
Magnesium as the core mineral
Magnesium bisglycinate is the main ingredient and provides magnesium in a chelated form. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, normal nervous system function, and electrolyte balance. It also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, which can be relevant during busy or physically active periods.
Amino acids for complementary support
L-taurine is included alongside magnesium, a pairing often used in formulas intended for calm, steady daily support. L-leucine adds an additional amino acid component commonly used in active lifestyle products. Together, these amino acids complement the mineral base without changing the product into a stimulant-style formula.
B-vitamin cofactors
Vitamin B6 (from pyridoxine hydrochloride), folate (vitamin B9), and vitamin B12 (from cyanocobalamin) are included as metabolic cofactors. These vitamins contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and support normal nervous system function. They also support normal amino-acid metabolism, aligning with the inclusion of taurine and leucine.
Synergy and daily use
The formula combines magnesium with B-vitamins that participate in related metabolic pathways, creating a coherent “mineral + cofactors” approach. Magnesium and taurine are often used together in evening routines focused on relaxation habits, while the B-vitamins support daytime metabolic needs. This makes the product suitable for flexible use depending on personal routine and tolerance.
Formulation notes
Rice flour is used as a carrier/filler to support consistent capsule filling. The vegetable capsule provides a convenient delivery format. As with any supplement, individual needs vary, so it can be helpful to align use with diet, activity level, and professional advice when needed.

Voordelen
Nervous System Support
This formula is centered on magnesium bisglycinate, a well-tolerated magnesium form commonly used to support normal nerve signaling and neuromuscular function. Vitamin B6, folate (B9), and vitamin B12 complement this by contributing to normal nervous system function and neurotransmitter-related metabolism. Taurine is included as an amino acid often used in formulas aimed at calm, steady daily nervous system support.
Muscle Health
Magnesium bisglycinate provides magnesium, which contributes to normal muscle function and electrolyte balance, making it relevant for everyday muscle comfort and activity. Taurine and L-leucine add amino-acid support often used around physical activity and recovery routines. The B-vitamins (B6, B9, B12) support normal energy-yielding metabolism, which can be helpful during periods of higher training load.
Sleep Support
Magnesium bisglycinate is frequently used in evening routines to support relaxation and normal neuromuscular function as part of a wind-down habit. Taurine is commonly paired with magnesium in calming-focused formulations. B6 is included as a cofactor in amino-acid and neurotransmitter metabolism, which can fit a balanced nighttime routine without implying sedative effects.
Energy Metabolism
Vitamin B6, folate (B9), and vitamin B12 contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and help support daily vitality when dietary intake is variable. Magnesium also contributes to normal energy metabolism and reduction of tiredness and fatigue. The amino acids (taurine, leucine) provide additional building blocks often used in active lifestyles.
Stress Management
Magnesium is commonly used to support normal psychological function and to complement lifestyle approaches for managing day-to-day stress. Taurine is often included in formulas designed for a calm, balanced feel during demanding periods. B-vitamins (B6, B9, B12) support normal nervous system function, which can be relevant when stress affects routine and recovery.
