What magnesium does in the body
According to MedlinePlus, from the U.S. National Library of Medicine, magnesium is an essential mineral for human nutrition and is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. Its normal roles include:
- It helps maintain normal nerve and muscle function.
- It keeps the heartbeat steady.
- It helps bones remain strong.
- It aids in the production of energy and protein.
This describes what the mineral does in the body; it is not a proven result of this bottle. The same source lists a recommended daily allowance for adults of 310 to 420 mg of magnesium, depending on age and sex. One serving of this product provides 200 mg.
What sets this form apart is the glycine. The label explains it this way: «The magnesium bis-glycinate combination enables efficient absorption, the glycinate allowing the magnesium to transfer easily across the intestinal wall. Increased absorption means more usable magnesium for your body's needs.*»
What the label says
- «Magnesium is one of the most important minerals in the body, but an estimated 75% of Americans are magnesium deficient.»
