Why does Magnesium from magnesium glycinate?
Magnesium from magnesium glycinate complex for:
-
Bone health
-
Muscle function
Minerals such as magnesium are often combined with other compounds, such as glycinate, to create a more stable complex.
Magnesium is a mineral with a fundamentally important physiological function in the body and is essential in a wide range of fundamental cellular reactions. Complex with adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main carrier of metabolic energy in the body, magnesium is essential for all biosynthetic processes including glycolysis, and the formation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), energy-dependent membrane transport, and muscle function. Two-thirds of the body's magnesium content is located in the skeleton, which helps to maintain bone health. As typical diets in Canada often provide less than adequate amounts of magnesium, supplementation with a bioavailable magnesium glycinate complex can help bridge the gap between dietary intake and optimal requirements.
Magnesium is also critical in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth. In a randomized control trial, supplementation with magnesium glycinate in pregnant women was shown to significantly decrease muscle cramping frequency and intensity.
Oftentimes, individuals do not achieve an adequate intake of magnesium from food sources in order to support all the numerous bodily processes. Supplementation with Douglas Laboratories Magnesium Glycinate supplies the body with 120 mg of elemental magnesium in a highly bioavailable form (as a magnesium glycinate complex) in an easy-to-swallow tablet.
