Magnesium Glycerophosphate Powder

Why Should I Take Magnesium Glycerophosphate?

If this form of magnesium sounds familiar, then you may be thinking of alpha-glycerophosphocholine (alpha-GPC). Indeed, there is some similarity between them both in their chemical structure, and their effects. Similarly to alpha-GPC, this form of magnesium has been optimized for fitness purposes. Part of the reason this is the case, is because magnesium glycerophosphate, besides being a good magnesium source, is also the source of another important electrolyte, phosphate! Furthermore, the chelation with glycerophosphate produces a significant uptick in magnesium bioavailability. 

Another major benefit to this form of magnesium is that it is very readily water soluble and tasteless. Thus, if you prefer using magnesium in powder form, then our magnesium glycerophosphate powder will be a great option for you! 

What is Magnesium Glycerophosphate?

Magnesium glycerophosphate is a chelated magnesium, and is similar to other magnesium chelates such as magnesium glycinate and Magtein. The chelation process leads to enhanced bioavailability, while also bringing along the benefits of the compound used for the chelation. This is what makes magnesium glycinate and magtein so unique, because the glycine and threonic acid that those forms of magnesium are bound to, produce beneficial effects. The same is true for glycerophosphate, which provides phosphate (an important electrolyte), in addition to glycerol which can help enhance cellular hydration.

Magnesium Glycerophosphate Benefits & Uses

• Boosts physical fitness
• Supports hydration
• Elevates magnesium status
• Promotes bone health

A Fitness Focused Magnesium Supplement

Magnesium is an important mineral which participates in a very large amount of processes within our bodies. A lot of the processes that magnesium participates in, can have a significant impact on fitness. For example, magnesium is necessary for stabilizing ATP, which means that without magnesium we wouldn’t be able to stabilize the ATP necessary for powering our muscles. Due to this effect alone, magnesium supplementation is very beneficial for athletes. Magnesium glycerophosphate takes the fitness benefits one step further though, through its glycerophosphate content. This provides phosphate which is one our primary electrolytes, and glycerol, which can help pull more water into our blood thereby producing a hydrating effect. Thus, consuming magnesium glycerophosphate during a workout could be a great way to help support athletic performance, and since magnesium glycerophosphate is readily water soluble and tasteless, it makes it perfectly suited for dissolving in your water that you drink during your workouts! 

Magnesium Glycerophosphate Stacks

Fitness Stack: Magnesium Glycerophosphate + Tart Cherry

Magnesium is also very important during the recovery process because a lack of magnesium could lead to some muscle cramping. With this in mind, we think that magnesium glycerophosphate stacks great with tart cherry for promoting exercise recovery! 

Hydration Stack: Magnesium Glycerophosphate + Creatine Monohydrate

Magnesium glycerophosphate provides two essential electrolytes (magnesium & phosphate), while also providing glycerol which promotes cellular hydration. Similar to glycerol, creatine monohydrate can also help support cellular hydration, and thus we find that the two stack really well together for supporting overall hydration. 

Bone Health Stack: Magnesium Glycerophosphate + HGW 50% Icariin

Phosphate, in addition to being an important electrolyte, is also important for bone health. To further enhance this effect, we like stacking magnesium glycerophosphate with horny goat weed because its icariin content produces highly beneficial effects on bone remineralization! 

Magnesium Glycerophosphate Dosage

As a dietary supplement, take 2,064mg (3 scoops), once daily.
