Magnesium Capsules

Liposomal absorption refers to a technology in which magnesium is encapsulated in microscopically small fat droplets, called liposomes.
Through liposomal encapsulation, magnesium bisglycinate is protected against degradation in the digestive tract. This allows the magnesium to be absorbed more efficiently into the bloodstream and to perform better in the cells.

Liposomal magnesium is absorbed up to 3-5 times better!

Extracting magnesium from nature, such as seawater, is very costly and contains poorly absorbable forms of magnesium, such as magnesium oxide and chloride.

Costs a lot, does little.

Where many brands often offer cheaper magnesium products from China, we have chosen a German manufacturer. Known for its purity and reliability, without contamination and optimal absorbability. In addition, our Magnesium product is composed by a renowned Dutch pharmacist.

Our Magnesium is acidified with citric acid (natural) for better absorption and especially less burden on the stomach, while many other magnesium products can be burdensome for the stomach.

Real Roots stands for natural and synergy. That is why we choose whole food products as much as possible, where nutrients are naturally connected to each other and work together. Different rules apply to Magnesium. Our current way of life demands much more Magnesium than before, and Magnesium is difficult to extract from natural foods. The forms that can be extracted (oxide and chloride) are poorly absorbed by the body.

Magnesium bisglycinate is generally better absorbed and gentler on the stomach than magnesium oxide with added glycine, making it a better choice for people who want to use magnesium for overall support of relaxation, sleep, and stress management. However, magnesium oxide with glycine (common on the market) can be more cost-effective due to the higher amount of elemental magnesium per unit weight, but often has fewer benefits for absorption and use in the body.

Real Roots always chooses the best and purest quality. That's why we choose bisglycinate and not oxide with glycine.

Magnesium bisglycinate is a chelate, which means that magnesium is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. This chelate is well absorbed in the body because it easily passes through the intestinal wall without breaking down. As a result, it has a high bioavailability and is one of the most absorbable forms of magnesium.

Although the carrier can make some difference in absorption and tolerance, the ultimate effect of the magnesium ion in the body is the same. The main goal of any magnesium supplement is to provide sufficient magnesium. The 'carrier' is an absolute secondary matter in terms of benefits and, in our opinion, not relevant. That is currently just a 'hype', but totally unnecessary.
