Magnesium Glycinate Complex provides an easy-to-absorb, supplemental form of magnesium, a mineral element which is critical to hundreds of biochemical reactions in the body. Every organ in the body, especially the heart, muscles, and kidneys, require magnesium to function. It is an ingredient of strong teeth and bones and plays a vital role in the conversion of energy (metabolism). Low magnesium intake and levels in the body are associated with a wide range of health concerns affecting blood sugar regulation, cardiovascular health, and bone density to name just a few. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency are broad and can range from difficulty sleeping to dizziness and cold hands and feet. Statistics estimate that nearly half of the US population consume less than the required amount for health. Diet, farming techniques, and prescription medications are all factors that may contribute to magnesium deficiency. Certain medications deplete this nutrient in the body as an unintended side-effect. Supplementing the diet with calcium may also lead to magnesium deficiency as calcium can hinder absorption of magnesium when consumed at high levels. Conventional farming techniques that rely on the use of synthetic fertilizers strip nutrients like magnesium from the soil. Finally, refining grains, a major element of most American diets, removes essential vitamins and minerals, including magnesium. As much as 75% of the phytonutrient (plant nutrients) content of grains is lost when refined. When it comes to choosing a magnesium mineral supplement, not all are created equal. Magnesium must be bound to another element to make it stable. How magnesium is bound influences its ability to absorb through the digestive tract and be utilized by the body. Magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate are examples of compounds commonly found in dietary supplement and multivitamin formulas. Unfortunately, these forms of magnesium are less well absorbed, meaning some of the ingested magnesium is wasted. Magnesium Glycinate Complex uses the amino acid glycine to bind to magnesium, creating the compound magnesium glycinate. This compound is better absorbed by the digestive tract, meaning more of the magnesium can be utilized and benefit the body. Glycine itself also supports various functions in the body. As an amino acid, glycine is used in numerous biochemical reactions in the body and is also an important neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Glycine is also part of glutathione, the most important antioxidant inside the body’s cells. Magnesium supports numerous actions in the body, including: Muscle relaxation: Magnesium exerts a relaxant effect on muscles by inhibiting calcium influx and smooth muscle contraction. Bone formation: Magnesium has a multi-faceted role in bone health. This mineral has an influence on calcium metabolism and bone formation through its role in converting vitamin D to its most active form. Magnesium also supports the function of several hormones that affect calcium absorption and utilization. Cardiovascular function: Magnesium supports blood pressure regulation and heart muscle function. Blood sugar metabolism: Magnesium is involved in glucose metabolism and insulin secretion and action.
