Magnesium Facts
Magnesium is an essential mineral found in whole grains, nuts, green leafy vegetables, milk and legumes. Since the human body cannot produce it on its own, it must be consumed in the diet or through supplementation. It is involved in energy production, nerve conduction, muscle contraction, protein synthesis, and bone mineralization.
Dimagnesium Malate:
Dimagnesium Malate: Magnesium bound to malic acid, a natural compound in fruits involved in energy metabolism pathways. This form provides magnesium while supporting cellular energy production.
Magnesium Glycinate:
Magnesium Glycinate: Magnesium bound to glycine, an amino acid that is well absorbed and gentle on the stomach.
Key Benefits of Magnesium:
- Supports muscle and nerve function, helping with normal contraction, relaxation, and signaling.
- Contributes to energy production by activating enzymes involved in metabolism.
- Contributes to normal nervous system function through neurotransmitter signaling pathways.
- Supports bone strength when combined with calcium, vitamin D, and boron.
- Contributes to cardiovascular health by helping regulate heartbeat and vascular tone.
Why it Matters:
Soil depletion and modern dietary patterns can reduce magnesium availability, making supplementation a reliable option.
Nearly half of U.S. adults consume less than the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) for magnesium Ā¹.
