Organically bound
Magnesium taurate is a bioavailable and organically bound form of magnesium. Inorganic magnesium forms such as magnesium chloride, magnesium hydroxide, and magnesium sulphate are less bioavailable and are therefore not absorbed as well. For example, magnesium sulphate has a bioavailability of only 4%. This means that a dose of 200 mg of magnesium sulphate is only effective for a mere 8 mg. The best forms known are magnesium chelates such as magnesium taurate, magnesium malate, and magnesium bisglycinate. Your daily diet generally contains inorganically bound magnesium. These are the forms that occur in the soil and are absorbed by the plants you eat daily. Examples include magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate. Your body therefore only absorbs a small part of the magnesium you get from regular food. Vitakruid Magnesium Taurate is therefore an added value within your diet.
L-taurine
Magnesium taurate is a combination of the amino acid taurine and magnesium. In this combination, magnesium and taurine have a synergistic effect, ensuring this form of magnesium is very well absorbed. Absorption of L-taurine takes place via the amino acid transport system in the small intestine. Through this active transport system, the bound magnesium quickly enters the bloodstream, where it is transported to the rest of your body. This allows you to experience the optimal effect of the magnesium.
