Why Magnesium Glycinate and Not other forms?

There are many forms of magnesium on the market, and they're not all created equal. Here's a quick breakdown of how some of the most common forms compare:

• Magnesium Oxide – One of the most widely used (and least expensive) forms, but it has very low bioavailability, meaning most of it passes through your system without being properly absorbed.

• Magnesium L-Threonate – A newer, specialized form that's been studied specifically for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and support cognitive function and memory. It's a great option if brain health is the primary goal, though it delivers a relatively low amount of elemental magnesium per serving and tends to be significantly more expensive.

• Magnesium Glycinate – This is the form we chose for Vimergy, and here's why: it's formed by chelating magnesium with glycine, an amino acid that acts as a natural carrier, making it one of the most bioavailable and well-tolerated forms available. Glycine has its own beneficial properties too.

It supports antioxidant activity, healthy liver function, and acts as a calming neurotransmitter in the nervous system.

Why Glycinate? Vimergy's Magnesium Glycinate delivers 310mg of highly absorbable magnesium per serving and is shown to cause less stomach upset than traditional magnesium supplements. Because it distributes throughout the whole body- muscles, bones, heart, and nervous system it's an excellent all-around choice for supporting healthy muscle function and relaxation, restful sleep, cardiovascular health, and a healthy stress response.

We also enhanced our formula with organic ginger and turmeric root powder for added anti-inflammatory support. Something you won't find in most magnesium supplements.

In short, we chose Magnesium Glycinate because it offers the broadest whole-body benefits with superior absorption, gentle tolerability, and a clean, vegan formula.

All hallmarks of the Vimergy standard.
