Thorne Magnesium Bisglycinate 187 g

The mineral magnesium is crucial for the body to function properly because magnesium is involved in more than 600 of the body's enzymatic reactions. Magnesium deficiency can manifest in many ways, such as inefficient blood sugar metabolism, muscle cramps or soreness, eyelid twitching, fatigue, and poor sleep. Magnesium is essential for the health of the heart and blood vessels, brain, bones, muscles, and lungs, and to support healthy blood sugar. Promotes bronchial relaxation. It’s an essential mineral for the electrical activity of the heart, which supports a healthy heart rate and rhythm. Helps relax smooth and skeletal muscles. Promotes the dilation of blood vessels (vasodilation), which supports normal blood pressure and enhances blood flow. Supports insulin sensitivity for healthy blood sugar. Is a cofactor for enzymes involved in cellular energy production. Benefits: Magnesium Bisglycinate is a great-tasting powder that can be mixed with water, juice, or with another powdered supplement. The compound magnesium bis-glycinate is also called magnesium glycinate; however, because it has two glycine molecules attached, it is more accurately called “bis-glycinate” (bis = two). The bis-glycinate form has superior absorption because of increased solubility. Decreased laxative effect compared to other magnesium formulations because the bisglycinate form is a true chelate that completely envelopes the magnesium. Glycine is a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and stress reduction in the body – making Magnesium Bisglycinate a good choice for pre-bedtime supplementation to support restful sleep.
