Magnesium Glycinate 90 Capsules

Life Extension Magnesium Glycinate is the form of magnesium that has earned a particular following amongst those who care about absorption and digestive comfort. The supplement delivers 105mg of elemental magnesium per capsule, all from magnesium bisglycinate, a chelated form in which the magnesium is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. This binding is the source of the form's two main advantages: it is generally well tolerated even on a sensitive stomach, and it is absorbed through amino acid transport pathways for measurable bioavailability. Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, and adequate dietary intake supports a wide range of normal physiological functions. Magnesium contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal muscle function, normal protein synthesis, normal psychological function, the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and a reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It also has a role in the process of cell division and the maintenance of electrolyte balance. (These are EFSA-approved nutrient claims.) Magnesium glycinate has become a particular favourite of those who take magnesium specifically to support a calm wind-down before bed: the glycine portion is itself a mildly calming amino acid, and the gentle gastrointestinal profile of glycinate means it can be taken in the evening without the urgency that some forms of magnesium (notably citrate or oxide) can produce. Life Extension is one of the longest-established supplement brands in the United States, with a strong reputation for clinical formulations, third-party testing and ingredient transparency. Their Magnesium Glycinate is non-GMO, gluten-free, manufactured in the USA in vegetarian capsules and free from common allergens. The 90-capsule bottle provides 1 to 3 months of supply depending on personal dose, Life Extension's label suggestion is 1 capsule one to three times daily, which makes the form easy to titrate to your individual needs.
