Magnesium Glycinate - 120 Capsules

Nutritional Frontiers Magnesium Glycinate 

Bioavailable Patented Magnesium Glycinate (Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate- Albion™)

Minerals are essential for many aspects of overall health and wellbeing such as proper composition of body fluids, formation of bone and blood, maintenance of healthy nerve function, regulation of muscle tone (including the muscles of the cardiovascular system), activation of many enzymes, and more! Magnesium and calcium are the most abundant minerals in our bodies, making up 2% of our total body weight. These minerals are involved in the transmission of nerve impulses, muscle contraction (including the heart muscle), blood clotting, reducing cholesterol, enhancing the immune system, maintaining strong bones and teeth, and proper sleep.

Magnesium and other trace minerals may enhance muscle recovery after exercise. In fact, magnesium plays a central role in controlling muscle tone. Muscles can’t relax properly without enough magnesium, plus low magnesium can cause a buildup of lactic acid. Magnesium is necessary to prevent calcification of soft tissue, protects arterial lining from stress and it is involved in carbohydrate and mineral metabolism.

The RDA (recommended dietary allowance) for adults for magnesium starts at 300 mg a day. Nutritionists, naturopathic doctors, and other holistic practitioners may further tailor these suggested doses based on dietary intake, health conditions of the individual patient, symptoms experienced, medications used, and special situations like menopause, pregnancy, and lactation. Magnesium-rich foods include leafy green vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. The most common factors leading to calcium and magnesium deficiency are poor eating habits, stress, and lack of exercise.

Albion’s magnesium bisglycinate is chelated (i.e., bound) to the amino acid glycine, to enable the magnesium to pass intact through the digestive tract up to the optimal point of absorption. Because chelated magnesium is protected, it has fewer interactions with other nutrients and is designed to be easier on the gastrointestinal tract.
