Description

Magnesium is a cofactor in over 300 metabolic reactions. It is involved in the maintenance of muscle function and contractions among many other important physiological roles. Magnesium helps maintain bone health by regulating the production of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitriol, which helps increase calcium uptake and minimize the risk of calcium deficiency. In the United States, it is estimated that approximately 64% of men and 67% of women do not consume enough magnesium, a number that is even higher among the elderly. Magnesium glycinate (also called magnesium bisglycinate) is a highly water-soluble amino acid chelate composed of magnesium and two glycine molecules. Clinical evidence indicates that the bioavailability of magnesium glycinate is significantly higher than magnesium oxide and is less likely to cause a laxative effect. Magnesium glycinate supplementation has been shown to decrease the severity of muscle cramps: in a clinical trial of 86 healthy pregnant women with recurrent muscle cramps, a 4-week supplement of 300 mg of magnesium glycinate reduced both the frequency and intensity of leg cramps.

Dosage
