Magnesium Glycinate

What Is Magnesium Glycinate?

Magnesium is an essential nutrient required for over 300 different enzymatic processes in the human body. We use it to build our bones, generate new DNA within our cells, build new blood cells, and regulate energy production — just to name a few.

Unfortunately, magnesium is poorly absorbed in the digestive tract in its natural form. Only about 30% of the magnesium we consume ever makes it into our bloodstream. The solution to this issue is to take forms of magnesium that have been combined with other compounds such as amino acids like glycine to improve the absorption. As these other compounds pass the digestive lining, they carry the magnesium with it.

Magnesium glycinate is widely considered to be the most bioavailable form of magnesium available. The added benefit of the relaxing qualities of the glycinate portion of the supplement makes this form of magnesium especially useful for promoting relaxation both mentally and in the muscles.

Our Magnesium Glycinate capsules provide 250mg of active Magnesium per 2 capsule serving and each bottle contains a 45 day supply.
