Magnesium (Glycinate) is part of Pure Encapsulations Minerals product line.
Magnesium in glycinate form is a highly bioavailable magnesium chelate, supporting normal essential nutrient metabolism and utilization. Additionally, magnesium supports normal functioning of numerous enzymatic and physiological functions, including neuromuscular contractions, cardiac function, and regulation of the acid-alkaline balance in the body. Magnesium is essential in the metabolism of macronutrients, energy production and the utilization of calcium, phosphorus, sodium, and potassium. This vital mineral also supports normal B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, and vitamin E utilization. Magnesium is also an essential bone matrix mineral that supports normal bone metabolism. Magnesium also provides normal cardiovascular support, including arterial function, endothelial function, c-reactive protein metabolism and lipid metabolism. Magnesium in glycinate form has good bioavailability and does not have a laxative effect since glycine is actively transported through the intestinal wall. Due to the calming and relaxing effect of both glycine and magnesium, this combination has been used successfully for chronic pain and muscle hyper tonicity.
