Magnesium glycinate is one of the most gentle and absorbable forms of magnesium, an essential mineral that plays a critical role in more than 300 metabolic reactions in the body.
When magnesium ions bind to glycine, it forms a glycinate. Glycine, an amino acid, actively crosses the intestinal barrier through the amino acid transport system, whereas magnesium alone would otherwise diffuse passively. Clinical nutritionists say this combination results in improved absorption of minerals.
Magnesium is required in protein, fat and nucleic acid synthesis. It helps the body use glucose and is a key player in the body’s energy transport system. Magnesium assists in inhibiting muscle contractions and blood clotting and is also beneficial in maintaining tooth enamel and providing immune system support.
Magnesium is also vital to cardiovascular health and function.
