Why you'll love it
 
Viridian High Potency Magnesium Bisglycinate provides a pure, fully reacted form of magnesium bisglycinate, designed for excellent absorption and gentle digestion.
 
Each daily dose of two capsules provides 200mg of elemental magnesium, with the magnesium fully bound to the amino acid glycine. Viridian states that the formula contains no other forms of magnesium, making it a good choice for people specifically looking for a pure bisglycinate rather than a mixed magnesium formula.
 
Magnesium is involved in hundreds of processes throughout the body and is particularly important for the nervous system, muscles, energy production, psychological function, electrolyte balance, bones and teeth.
 
I particularly like magnesium bisglycinate for people who are feeling stressed, tense, tired or struggling to switch off, as well as those experiencing muscle tension or wanting to support restful sleep. The glycine-bound form is also generally a good choice for people who find some other forms of magnesium less comfortable for their digestion.
 
The 120-capsule size is ideal for regular use and provides a two-month supply when taking two capsules daily.

Why magnesium bisglycinate?
Not all magnesium supplements are the same.
In magnesium bisglycinate, magnesium is bound to glycine. Viridian explains that this allows it to be recognised differently within the digestive system and potentially reduces competition with other minerals during absorption. The company also describes this form as gentle on the digestive system and bioavailable.

Stress and tension.
Nervous system support.

At The Little Health Shop, I carefully select supplements based on their formulation, ingredient quality and genuine usefulness. Magnesium is one of the products where the form really matters, which is why I choose high-quality formulations rather than simply stocking the cheapest magnesium available.
