Magnesium Glycinate uses Albion’s patented magnesium bisglycinate chelate for enhanced absorption.
What is a Glycinate: The magnesium is bound to the amino acid glycine. This protects it as it moves through the digestive tract, so more of it reaches the point where it is best absorbed. Because it is protected, it has fewer interactions with other nutrients and is easier on the stomach than many other forms of magnesium.
About Magnesium:
Magnesium and calcium are the most abundant minerals in the body. Together they are involved in nerve signaling, muscle contraction (including the heart), blood clotting, bone and tooth strength, immune function and sleep.
For athletes, magnesium plays a central role in muscle tone. Muscles can’t relax properly without enough of it, and low magnesium can contribute to a buildup of lactic acid.
The recommended daily intake for adults starts at 300 mg. Leafy green vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains are good food sources, but poor eating habits, stress and hard training all make it harder to keep levels where they should be.
