Why Philosophy? Our high-quality product features:
- 200 mg of magnesium per 2-tablet serving in a highly absorbable stable chelated form (as magnesium bisglycinate chelate)
- Chelated magnesium form with less potential to cause GI symptoms sometimes caused by magnesium supplementation
- Offers superior absorption in the intestine and avoids competition among other nutrients
Magnesium Bisglycinate features magnesium bisglycinate, a highly effective and useful form of magnesium. Each 2-tablet serving provides 200 mg of elemental magnesium. This chelated (or bound) form of magnesium has less potential for unfavorable gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms often associated with magnesium supplementation. High intake of magnesium sometimes results in unpleasant GI effects, such as upset stomach or loose stools. Due to a unique patented process that forms a stable bond between each magnesium ion and two molecules of the amino acid glycine, this product is not likely to cause these unpleasant issues.†
Magnesium is an essential mineral that serves as a nutrient cofactor for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. The need for magnesium throughout the body is reflected in the fact that the adult human body contains a hefty 25 grams of magnesium that is divided among the skeleton, muscle, blood, and other tissues. Magnesium plays a crucial role in many aspects of health, including cardiovascular function, blood sugar metabolism, brain health, cellular energy production, and bone structure and function.†
The chelated form of magnesium allows large amounts to be easily absorbed and retained by the body, helping to support magnesium status. Additionally, the mineral chelate protects magnesium from binding to substances that can impair normal absorption during digestion, enhancing its bioavailability in desired tissues and organs.†
Philosophy Nutrition’s Metafolin® B-Complex is a comprehensive formulation of various Vitamin Bs, including Metafolin®, Methylcobalamin Vitamin B12, and Intrinsic Factor.
Get your daily supply! B Vitamins are necessary for:
- metabolizing fats, carbs & proteins
- energy production
- blood cells
- hormones
- nervous system
Why Philosophy? Our high-quality product features:
- complete B vitamins for synergy in absorption and use
- patented Metafolin® for folate
- methylcobalamin for B12
- intrinsic factor to help absorb B12
As co-enzymes, the B vitamins are crucial components in our body’s metabolism. They play an important role in energy production, including the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins—basically, converting our fats and carbs and proteins into energy that keeps us alive. B vitamins are also important for blood cells, hormones, and nervous system function.†
Because B vitamins are water-soluble, they’re generally not stored and pulled out as needed (with the exception of vitamin b-12). Unlike fat-soluble vitamins, whatever doesn’t get used leaves the body—even if we might need it tomorrow. This means we need a regular supply of B vitamins so we don’t run out.
Philosophy Nutrition’s Metafolin® B-Complex features the essential B vitamins all in one convenient vegeterian capsule. Its high-absorbability contents include the patented Metafolin®, Methylcobalamin Vitamin B12, and Intrinsic Factor.
Vitamin B12 and folate are essential vitamins which are coenzymes in the DNA and RNA metabolism. It’s involved in the process where parts of our DNA gets copied to be used in the body.
Folic acid however is the synthetic form of folate, and isn’t immediately usable by our body. It needs to be converted in our body several times before it can be utilized. It’s often the form of folate in dietary supplements in the market, but it’s hardly the best in usability.
The patented Metafolin® can be used by our body right away without any extra work. It is a natural form of 5-MTHF: the bioactive, most common form of folate in cells. This makes Metafolin® B-Complex especially great for people who are genetically unable to break down folic acid. Metafolin® is also the only form of folate to be able to cross the blood-brain barrier.
Metafolin® B-Complex also contains vitamin B12 in the form of methylcobalamin, and intrinsic factor to help its absorption. Methylcobalamin is a coenzyme form of vitamin B12, and is easier for the body to keep and use, according to studies.
Intrinsic factor is a protein that the intestines need to absorb vitamin B12 effectively. Our body makes it in our stomach lining, but can be difficult to produce with age or health conditions. Without enough intrinsic factor, vitamin B12 deficiency can occur. Combining methylcobalamin with intrinsic factor ensures that we get a good supply of B12, and are also able to take it all in.
Thiamin is necessary for glycolytic and Krebs cycle reactions, and is also related to nerve impulse transmission. Riboflavin is a component of various coenzymes that are used in energy production as well as cellular respiration. Niacin is also a component of enzymes, and is involved in energy production and biosynthetic processes.
Vitamin B6, which is a coenzyme as well, is utilized in amino acid metabolism. It is used for converting tryptophan into niacin, and is also involved in making neurotransmitters, including serotonin, epinephrine, and norepinephrine.
Biotin and pantothenic acid are also coenzymes essential for Krebs cycle operation, and energy production—everything from dietary fats and carbohydrates to proteins.†
