Product Description

Magnesium Glycinate is an important mineral for maintaining a healthy heart rhythm, a healthy blood pressure and keeping blood sugar within a normal range. Additionally, Magnesium Glycinate provides nutritional support for bones, plus cardiovascular and neurological wellbeing. Those with lower levels of Magnesium or Magnesium Glycinate may be more vulnerable to stress. This product is a complex of the essential amino acid magnesium bound to the non-essential amino acid glycine, which allows magnesium to be absorbed into your cells. The high dietary levels of magnesium in our Magnesium Glycinate product (200mg per tablet) may help support the body from early to moderate magnesium deficiency symptoms that include nausea, weakness, tingling and muscle contractions. Magnesium is among the top five most abundant minerals in the body it is an essential nutrient, which means we must consume it in the diet in order to maintain consistent levels of it. Our body does not make it, so in order to maintain proper levels, the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for 98% of American adults ranges from 310mg to 420 mg per day. 50% of this will be stored in the bones and the other 50% inside our various organs, tissues and cells. Approximately 1% of Magnesium is found in the blood, where the body works to maintain homeostasis. Magnesium levels in food depend on the quality of the soil. Traditional food sources high in magnesium are wheat germ, bran, oatmeal, soybeans, peanuts, spinach, raisins, almonds, and cashews. Magnesium is a co-factor in over 300 chemical processes in the body, many critical, such as healthy nerve and muscle functions, a regular heart rhythm, maintenance of a strong and healthy immune system, and maintenance of strong bones and teeth. Magnesium is involved in the regulation of blood pressure as well as blood sugar because increased magnesium loss in the urine is associated with hyperglycemia. It also helps maintain energy production and protein synthesis. Individuals suffering from alcoholism, chronic diarrhea, or malabsorptive conditions of the bowels are at higher risk of magnesium deficiency. Older adults have a higher risk for magnesium deficiency than younger adults since the integrity of the kidneys is lower and more magnesium may be lost in the urine. It is very important for these groups of people to increase their dietary magnesium intake through food sources and dietary supplements. Certain common medications may cause magnesium depletion. These include Cisplatin and other anti-neoplastics, Diuretics, Estrogen replacement therapy, Beta-2 asthma medications, Bisphosphonates for Osteoporosis, Cardiac glycosides, Magnesium containing antacids and laxatives, as well as Tetracycline and other antibiotics. Signs of magnesium deficiency include appetite changes, nausea and vomiting, lack of energy and weakness, mood changes or poor mood, numbness and tingling, muscle tension, cramps, and contractions. More severe deficiency signs are abnormal heart rhythms and spasms. Calcium and Potassium levels are also affected by low Magnesium levels, and may become low in the blood when Magnesium levels are low.
