Magnesium Glycinate

Magnesium is considered an essential mineral, and one that is poorly lacking in our soil and food resources unfortunately. Although many people get plenty of calcium in their daily diets, magnesium is harder to achieve nutritive quantities through food alone.

Possible Uses For:

This mineral is critical for many enzyme processes throughout the body including being involved directly with the proper absorption vitamins B1 and B6, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D and zinc. Our bodies aren’t able to properly synthesize protein or produce certain hormones without this very important mineral, including a direct effect on premenstrual problems when deficient. In fact, Magnesium plays an important role in over 80% of the bodies metabolic functions!

A lack of magnesium has been strongly associated with heart disease and muscle cramps throughout the body. Magnesium because it assists with proper muscle contraction and relaxation is considered to be extremely important in proper cardiovascular functioning and combating heart disease.

Chelated Minerals:

We chose to offer Magnesium bisglycinate by Albion Minerals, the leader in chelated minerals. Magnesium bisglycinate bonds the amino acid glycine to the magnesium molecule, aiding in proper absorption. This is the preferred form recommended by most health care professionals for its high absorbency rate and also it is the least likely to cause any tummy upset or loose bowels.
