Magnesium is an essential mineral that is involved in over
300 enzymatic reactions in the body. It plays a vital role in maintaining
normal muscle and nerve function, promoting a healthy cardiovascular system,
and supporting strong bones (1). Magnesium deficiency is often overlooked.
Noticeable symptoms like poor digestion, muscle aches or spasms, anxiety &
sleep disorder are been observed in case of magnesium deficiency (2).
Magnesium glycinate, a highly bioavailable form of
magnesium, has gained significant attention due to its numerous health benefits
and superior absorption.
Our Formulation
Unlike other forms of magnesium, such as magnesium oxide or
magnesium citrate, magnesium glycinate offers enhanced absorption and
bioavailability. This means that a greater percentage of magnesium is
effectively utilized by the body, maximizing its potential benefits (1, 2).
Magnesium glycinate is formed by binding magnesium to the
amino acid glycine. This unique combination not only enhances absorption but
also provides additional advantages. Glycine itself is known for its calming
and relaxing properties, which can help promote a sense of tranquility and
support healthy sleep patterns (3).
One of the key benefits of magnesium glycinate is its gentle
effect on the digestive system. Unlike some other forms of magnesium that can
cause digestive discomfort or laxative effects, magnesium glycinate is
well-tolerated and less likely to cause these issues.
Furthermore, magnesium glycinate is highly regarded for its
potential to support mental well-being. Research suggests that magnesium plays
a crucial role in neurotransmitter function and mood regulation (4).
Adequate intake of magnesium is associated with improved
mood, reduced stress levels, and enhanced cognitive function (5).
