Magnesium Bisglycinate: Buffered vs. Chelated
I’ve been looking for a new magnesium supplement and came across something I’d never heard before.
Apparently, there’s a difference between Magnesium Bisglycinate and Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate.
This also relates to something @simon asked recently about how much we can really trust AI like ChatGPT for advice.
ChatGPT for Health & Science Questions: Reliable or Not?
Because that’s where I first read about the difference, but I had never seen this mentioned anywhere else before.
I’ve attached a comparison table that breaks it down.
Curious to hear your take:
Have you come across this before, and is this actually something to look out for?
Or did GPT just overcomplicate things?

My GPT tells me, it's just marketing :) Magnesium Bisglycinate is a Chelate! Maybe someone could sell a mixture of Magnesium Oxide with Glycine and call it Magnesium Glycinate, but I never recognized anything like that ...

Should be the same. It's like "magnesium bisglycinat supplement" 😀 What is also confusing for me is that some manufacturers use the term magnesium bisglycinate and some use magnesium glycinate (for the same product). I take magnesium bisglycinat from Vegavero at the moment: https://www.vegavero.com/de-p-Magnesium-Bisglycinat-180K
