Magnesium Bisglycinate

Why TyH Uses Magnesium Bisglycinate in Fibro-Care™

At TyH, we’ve been helping people live healthier lives for decades. Since the beginning, our mission has been to provide highly effective, expertly formulated products that address the unique needs of our customers. That’s why when we created our formula Fibro-Care™, we chose a specific magnesium and paired it with malic acid and other supporting cofactors.

Lately, we’ve been getting calls from customers asking about the magnesium glycinate "hype" and wondering why we don't include it in our Fibro-Care™ magnesium formula. We're happy to answer and clear up any confusion!

Magnesium Glycinate vs. the Albion® Magnesium Bisglycinate in Fibro-Care™: What’s the difference? The name is often where the confusion lies. In short, there is no difference between the two names and they are sometimes used interchangeably in the marketplace. However, the term "bisglycinate" is more scientifically accurate and represents a more bioavailable form of magnesium.

Magnesium Glycinate: This term can sometimes refer to a compound where one molecule of magnesium is bonded to one molecule of the amino acid glycine.

Magnesium Bisglycinate (also known as Di-Magnesium Glycinate): This is a chelated form of magnesium where two molecules of glycine are bonded to a single molecule of magnesium. Albion® has patented a more stable and complete chelation. Their patented process encapsulates the mineral to protect it from other substances in the digestive tract.

Why Bisglycinate is better; the science of absorption: For a supplement to be effective, it must be absorbed by the body. Many common forms of magnesium, such as magnesium oxide, have very poor absorption rates. Albion® magnesium bisglycinate stands out for its exceptional bioavailability and is often recommended for its gentle effect on the stomach.

By using two glycine molecules, Albion® magnesium bisglycinate is more effectively transported across the intestinal wall. The body recognizes the amino acid (glycine) and allows the entire compound to be absorbed more efficiently. This superior absorption means less digestive upset and more magnesium reaching your cell where it can get to work.

We’ve been using the BEST magnesium in Fibro-Care™ for more than 33 years. When you look at our Fibro-Care™ label, you will see our proprietary blend of magnesium in the Supplement Facts box. The blend lists Albion® Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate. Albion® is a leader in mineral nutrition, and their bisglycinate chelate is recognized for its high quality and its bioavailability. is backed by clinical studies. We’ve been using Albion®'s magnesium bisglycinate for decades because we knew it was the best choice for our customers.
