Magnesium Bisglycinate capsules are free from fillers, stearates and magnesium oxide, so you can be sure you are getting nothing but a high quality supplement. It binds to a glycine, which is an amino acid that is small enough to pass through your cell walls so that your body can absorb and utilize the magnesium, rather than pass right through your gastrointestinal tract like many other forms of magnesium.
