Albion's Magnesium Bisglycinate Is the Best Source of Magnesium For Human Benefits
✅ 1. True Chelation Process
Albion's proprietary process binds magnesium to two glycine molecules to create a true bisglycinate chelate. This structure:
-
Protects the magnesium as it passes through the digestive tract.
-
Allows it to be absorbed intact via amino acid pathways, bypassing the usual mineral absorption route.
This results in:
-
Higher bioavailability
-
Better absorption
-
Fewer GI side effects (like diarrhea, which is common with magnesium oxide or citrate)
✅ 2. TRAACS® Trademark
Albion uses the TRAACS® (The Real Amino Acid Chelate System) verification system, which:
-
Ensures the chelate is fully reacted (not just a blend of magnesium and glycine).
-
Guarantees it’s a stable compound and not simply a mix of ingredients pretending to be chelated.
This helps differentiate true chelates from inferior knockoffs.
✅ 3. Scientifically Researched
Albion’s magnesium bisglycinate has been:
-
Clinically studied for absorption, tolerability, and effectiveness.
-
Used in peer-reviewed trials demonstrating it outperforms other common forms of magnesium (oxide, citrate, chloride, etc.).
✅ 4. Gentle on the Stomach
Unlike other forms of magnesium, which can cause loose stools or cramps:
-
Albion's bisglycinate is very well tolerated, even at higher doses.
-
The glycine component has calming properties, making it ideal for sleep support and relaxation.
✅ 5. Strict Quality Control
Albion minerals are:
-
Manufactured under strict GMP standards
-
Tested for purity, potency, and stability
-
Free from common allergens and contaminants
This makes them ideal for clinical nutrition, sports supplements, and therapeutic use.
✅ 6. Preferred by Health Professionals
Because of the quality, consistency, and clinical results, functional medicine doctors, naturopaths, and integrative practitioners frequently recommend Albion magnesium over other forms.
Summary:
Albion Labs magnesium bisglycinate is considered the best because it's:
-
A true, fully reacted chelate
-
Highly bioavailable
-
Clinically studied
-
Gentle and effective
-
Backed by rigorous science and quality assurance
Magnesium is one of the most important mineral supplements in the world that a vast majority of the population needs. Our own US government has reported that nearly two-thirds of the population in the western world is not achieving the recommended daily allowance of magnesium. Magnesium is a crucial macro mineral involved in over 300 physiological processes. It is essential to body structure and healthy function.
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health. Approximately 50% of total body magnesium is found in bone. The other half is found predominantly inside cells of body tissues and organs. Only 1% of magnesium is found in blood, but the body works very hard to keep blood levels of magnesium constant. Magnesium is an alkaline mineral and is one of the primary minerals that get depleted quickly in the body by too much acid in the diet. Like chromium, selenium and silicon, most usable magnesium is missing from refined grains with estimates of 75% or more being removed during the refining of white flour.
Magnesium garners less attention than many other minerals but may be one of the body’s most important essential nutrients. While many nutrients are vital to a few biological processes, magnesium is essential for hundreds of them. It is critical for foundational processes such as carbohydrate and protein synthesis, the movement of other minerals across cell membranes, cellular energy production, synthesis of RDA and DNA, nerve impulse contraction, muscle contraction, the regulation of blood pressure, maintenance of normal heart rhythm, to name a few. Although it is present in many fresh, unprocessed foods, magnesium is lacking in highly processed foods that make up the majority of the diets of people all over the world. In the absence of a healthy diet, dietary supplementation with magnesium may be advisable to ensure one’s proper health. Magnesium glycinate is highly absorbable and bioavailable and is one of the most efficient ways of adding magnesium to the diet.

Benefits
- In the decades-long Framingham Heart Study, higher magnesium levels were associated with a significantly lower chance of calcification of coronary and abdominal arteries.†
- Higher intake of magnesium is associated with a reduction in the occurrence of arrhythmia. Magnesium is also used as a clinical intervention in certain types of ventricular arrhythmias. †
- National Institutes of Health issued findings that higher magnesium levels in the blood are strongly associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. †
- Magnesium helps the body respond quickly to stress and helps give the body a deep sense of relaxation. †
- Magnesium is critical for the relaxation of the smooth muscles, including those found in blood vessels.†
- Higher magnesium intake is associated with a lower risk of atherosclerosis. †
- Reductions in magnesium levels have been linked to increased levels of anxiety. †
- Magnesium is essential for maintaining normal, healthy blood pressure. †
- Magnesium a cofactor in hundreds of enzymatic processes, including the activities of hormones, neurotransmitters, and other cellular regulators.†
-
Magnesium is required for certain processes involving ATP, DNA, and RNA. †
