Magnesium Glycinate

Magnesium Glycinate tablets supply 100 mg of elemental magnesium from a magnesium glycinate complex. FUNCTIONSMagnesium is a mineral with a fundamentally important physiological function in the body. However, typical diets in Canada and other industrialized countries often provide less than adequate amounts of magnesium. Clinical evidence indicates that magnesium glycinate has a significantly higher bioavailability than other forms of magnesium, and is less likely to cause a laxative effect. Supplementation with a bioavailable magnesium glycinate complex can help bridge the gap between dietary intake and optimal requirement. Magnesium plays an essential role in a wide range of fundamental cellular reactions. More than 300 enzymes require magnesium as a cofactor. Complexed with adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main carrier of metabolic energy in the body, magnesium is essential for all biosynthetic processes: glycolysis, formation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), energy-depend
