Magnesium Bisglycinate Nutripure in Paris: with taurine and B6

Bisglycinate is magnesium bound to glycine, an amino acid. Nutripure does not use it on its own in this formula, and says so plainly on the label.

In this formula, Nutripure uses a so-called “buffered” magnesium bisglycinate: 80% magnesium bisglycinate and 20% magnesium oxide. Per 2 capsules, the blend provides 240 mg of magnesium, i.e. 64% of the reference intakes.

Magnesium oxide is a form rich in magnesium: combining it with bisglycinate lets Nutripure fit more magnesium into each capsule, so two capsules a day are enough. To compare two magnesium products, look at three things: the milligrams of magnesium per daily dose, the form written on the label and the number of capsules needed.

Taurine is a sulphur-containing amino acid found naturally in the body, notably in the heart muscle, the retina and the nervous system. Despite its energy-drink reputation, it is not a stimulant. It is also found in food, mainly meat, fish and seafood, and Nutripure adds 300 mg per daily dose.

Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, to the normal functioning of the nervous system, to normal energy-yielding metabolism, to normal psychological function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Magnesium also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to the normal functioning of the nervous system. The B6 dose remains moderate, which matters: prolonged excess of this vitamin is not harmless.

People ask for magnesium when life gets busy. Athletes lose minerals through sweat, and prolonged stress increases urinary losses of magnesium. If stress is your main concern, our stress section brings together other options.

Women are the other big group, especially in the days before menstruation; the vitamin B6 in this formula contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. In every case, a few weeks of regular intake make more sense than an occasional capsule: magnesium reserves do not refill in one evening.

Two capsules a day with a meal and a large glass of water. You can take one in the morning and one in the evening, or both at once; splitting suits people with a sensitive digestion. The 60-capsule bottle lasts one month, and two to three months is the most common pattern, possibly repeated after a break.
