Magnesium glycinate chelate has a high degree of absorption. Researchers have found that serum levels of magnesium over an 8-hour period were the highest for magnesium glycinate chelate compared to other types of magnesium. Also, magnesium glycinate chelate has a low laxative effect.
Glycine, the amino acid in magnesium glycinate chelate, helps decrease
the pH of the small intestine, which improves solubility and absorbability.
Two separate glycine molecules occupy an active site on each magnesium molecule, which reduces magnesium’s propensity of phytic acid or other compounds that can inhibit absorption.
Magnesium is one of the most depleted minerals, yet considered one of the most important. This mineral regulates more than 325 enzymes in the body, producing, transporting, storing, and utilizing energy. Many aspects of cell metabolism are regulated by magnesium, such as DNA and RNA synthesis,
cell growth, and cell reproduction.
Magnesium also coordinates electric current that sparks through the nerves in the organism. This mineral has numerous physiological roles, among them are control of nerve action, activity of the heart, neuromuscular transmission, muscular contraction, vascular tone, blood pressure, and peripheral blood flow. It modulates and controls the entry and release of calcium from the cell, determining muscular activity. Without magnesium, muscle and nerve functions are compromised and energy is diminished.
Many magnesium researchers and experts have concluded that the typical American diet rich in fat, sugar, salt, synthetic vitamin D, phosphates, protein, supplemented calcium, not only is deficient in magnesium but actually increases the need for magnesium in the body.
