Reacted Magnesium 180 capsules

About Reacted Magnesium

Reacted Magnesium is a formula that contains a blend of three highly-absorbed magnesium forms as a means to enable the body to absorb the maximum of this macromineral. Using only one magnesium source is highly likely to limit uptake and block the absorption pathway. For that reason, Reacted Magnesium provides magnesium as (1) magnesium glycinate, (2) magnesium citrate, and (3) di-magnesium malate to help boost its utilization, enhance its absorption, restore magnesium levels in the body, and achieve GI (gastrointestinal) comfort while eliminating GI-related symptoms, such as constipation, diarrhea, and gas which are often experienced with other forms of magnesium.

Significance of Magnesium

Magnesium is a mineral that the body naturally gets from foods such as green leafy vegetables, salmon, black beans, peas, and avocado. According to a recent study, the majority of Americans intake critically low magnesium compared to the US Department of Agriculture requirements. And, even if they do consume sufficient amounts of magnesium, it is usually depleted due to excessive intake of coffee, salt, sodas, and alcohol, as well as high-stress levels and high consumption of calcium. Failing to maintain healthy magnesium levels in the body can lead to dehydration, muscle tension, high blood pressure, lower bone mineral density, spiking blood sugar levels, and inability to respond to a stressor efficiently.

Studies have found that magnesium supplementation can contribute to:

• Heart Health – Magnesium helps keep blood pressure within healthy levels. And, while calcium is vital for muscle contraction, magnesium helps them relax. Therefore, receiving less magnesium than the body needs could lead to the narrowing and tightening of the muscles in the blood vessels and, consequently, an obstructed blood flow to the heart and increased blood pressure.
• Insulin Balance – Insulin cannot reach the cells via the bloodstream without the presence of magnesium. Optimal magnesium levels help metabolize glucose better and maintain normal blood sugar levels.
• Bone Health – The activity of the cells that help breakdown and form bones, namely osteoblasts and osteoclasts, is negatively impacted when magnesium is low. The macromineral also affects the primary regulators of bone homeostasis.

Reacted Magnesium Ingredients & Albion Chelates

The formula includes three different forms of magnesium, and potassium – an electrolyte that helps regulate heart and muscle contractions, reduce water retention and blood pressure, prevent kidney stones and osteoporosis, and protect against stroke.

When it comes to nutritional supplements, bioavailability is key because consuming a product that has little effect on bringing balance in the body will not deliver the desired results. The same applies to inferior magnesium supplements whose formulas comprise of magnesium oxide, calcium carbonate, and other poorly absorbed minerals that not only limit absorption but also slow it down.

Instead of depending on the gastric acid to release magnesium ions which eventually cause intestinal discomfort or distress that is manifested via symptoms like diarrhea and constipation, it is much better to consume a top-quality product with high bioavailability. Here come mineral chelates, minerals that do not cause any side effects related to the intake of magnesium oxide and other such forms of magnesium. The finest and most efficient of these gut-friendly compounds with superior biologic activity, improved tolerance, and stability are found in Reacted Magnesium and are referred to as Albion mineral chelates, which enhance mineral absorption considerably due to the creation of organic mineral compounds that use active absorption mechanisms in the GI tract. It has been evidenced that Albion magnesium amino acid chelate has much greater absorption than magnesium oxide (x8.8), magnesium sulfate (x5.4), and magnesium carbonate (x2.3).
