Magnesium (Glycinate): Supports heart health, muscle contractions and metabolism‡ This highly bioavailable form of magnesium chelate glycinate is less likely to cause loose stools in sensitive individuals than other forms of magnesium. This vital mineral also helps the body use certain vitamins, including vitamin B6, vitamin C, and vitamin E.‡ Magnesium assists with the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids and fats, as well as energy production and the utilization of calcium, phosphorus, sodium, and potassium. It’s involved in a number of reactions in the body, such as the contraction and relaxation of muscles and cardiac function. Essential in the break down carbohydrates, amino acids, fats, and other essential nutrients‡ . Helps to support cardiac health‡. Provides cellular energy and bone support‡. Plays a role in muscle contractions‡. Found to support mood‡. Less likely to cause loose stools than other forms of magnesium‡.In a cross-sectional study with 210 elderly individuals, optimal magnesium intake was associated with positive mood, lipid metabolism and lean body mass. In a 15-year study involving almost 5,000 young adults, higher intakes of magnesium were associated with healthy cardiovascular function and glucose utilization. Another large cross-sectional study found that magnesium intake was positively associated with bone mineral density in certain subgroups.‡
