Magnesium is a cofactor in over 300 metabolic reactions. It is involved in the maintenanceof muscle function, glucose metabolism and muscle contraction, among several otherimportant physiological roles. Magnesium helps to maintain bone health by regulatingthe production of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitriol, which helps to increasecalcium absorption and minimize risk of calcium deficiency.
In the United States,insufficient magnesium intake is estimated to occur in approximately 64% of men and67% of women, with even higher levels of insufficient intake in elderly individuals.Magnesium glycinate (also known as magnesium bisglycinate) is a highly water solubleamino acid chelate of magnesium and two glycine molecules.
Clinical evidence indicatesthat magnesium glycinate has a significantly higher bioavailability than magnesiumoxide, and is less likely to cause a laxative effect. Supplementation with magnesiumglycinate has been shown to decrease the severity of muscle cramping: in a clinical trial on86 healthy pregnant women with recurrent muscle cramps, supplementation with 300mg of magnesium glycinate for 4 weeks reduced both the frequency and intensityof leg cramps.
