- Highly absorbable unflavored magnesium powder
- Pleasant taste with no added flavors, sweetened only with stevia leaf powder
Magnesium Chelate Powder contains chelated magnesium bisglycinate, one of the best-absorbed forms of magnesium. Each 5-gram serving (1 teaspoon) provides 300 mg of elemental magnesium in powder form. Due to a patented process that forms a very stable chelate between each magnesium ion and two molecules of the amino acid glycine, this product should not cause any of the adverse gastrointestinal symptoms associated with magnesium supplementation, such as loose stools or stomach upset.
Magnesium is an essential mineral that serves as an enzymatic cofactor for over three hundred biochemical reactions in the body, including those of glycolysis, the first step in harnessing the energy potential of carbohydrates. Magnesium is the second most abundant intracellular cation (positively charged electrolyte) in the body after potassium. The adult human body contains approximately 25 grams of magnesium, more than 60% of which is found in the skeleton. Muscle tissue contains about 27%, and most of the remainder is found in other intracellular areas; less than 1% is found circulating in the blood.
As a structural component of hydroxyapatite (bone mineral matrix), a natural calcium channel inhibitor, a muscle relaxant, an initiator of calming effects on the nervous system, and an element necessary for electrolyte balance and the proper functioning of sodium-potassium pumps, magnesium plays a crucial role in supporting physical strength and mobility, muscle contraction, neurological health, heart function, and psychological balance. Magnesium's role as an enzymatic cofactor for ATP-generating processes underlies its importance in maintaining energy levels and metabolic efficiency.
Adults: Take 5 g (about one teaspoon) of powder daily mixed with eight ounces of water, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
