Life Extension Magnesium Glycinate, 90 vege caps

Life Extension’s Magnesium Glycinate delivers 105mg of elemental magnesium via magnesium glycinate, a popular form of magnesium, a vital mineral involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the human body.

What is Magnesium Glycinate?

Magnesium is good for your heart, bones, nerves and muscles. But these body systems use magnesium in different ways. Magnesium glycinate is special form of magnesium that is combined with the amino acid glycine. This form is well absorbed, allowing the different parts of your body to make use of it.

Looking for magnesium glycinate? Life Extension now offers this popular and well-absorbed form of magnesium.

Benefits of Magnesium Glycinate

• Magnesium supports heart, bone, muscle and nerve health
• Delivers a well-absorbed form of magnesium (as magnesium glycinate)
• Popular way to achieve daily magnesium intake for whole-body health

Why take Magnesium Glycinate?

Let’s think of nutrients as tools that your body uses to accomplish different tasks. And like tools, different nutrients are needed to accomplish different things. Your body can even make use of the same nutrient (in this case, magnesium) in different ways, depending on the job. So what makes magnesium glycinate so special? This form of magnesium is bound to a pair of glycine amino acids (which is why it’s technically called magnesium bisglycinate). This results in an absorbable form of magnesium your body can easily make use of.

Magnesium and glycine: A well absorbed form

Magnesium glycinate, sometimes referred to as magnesium bisglycinate, is a form of magnesium complexed with two glycine amino acids, which provides a well absorbed form of magnesium. How? When combined with the amino acid glycine, it makes a type of magnesium that can be easily absorbed by the body.¹

It is important to maintain adequate magnesium status, and a dietary magnesium supplement taken consistently is an easy way to support healthy magnesium levels in the body. Individual factors such as concentration of elemental magnesium per dose and gastrointestinal tolerance can help guide the best form of magnesium to choose. There are two primary advantages for magnesium glycinate:

Well absorbed: Magnesium glycinate is a form of magnesium that is well absorbed  by the body.¹

Easy on the GI tract: magnesium glycinate contains a lower concentration of elemental magnesium per dose, which can help alleviate occasional gastrointestinal discomfort that some people experience when taking magnesium.¹

Magnesium and whole-body health

Magnesium is involved in more than 300 biochemical reactions, including bone, heart, muscle and nerve health.

Bone health: Magnesium is necessary for maintaining strong bones and teeth. It helps regulate calcium levels in the body, which is important for healthy bone density.²

Muscle and nerve function: Magnesium supports proper communication between nerve and muscle cells, promoting overall nervous system function and supporting healthy muscle contractions.²

Heart health: Magnesium helps maintain a steady heartbeat and supports already healthy blood pressure levels. It also contributes to vascular and endothelial function.²
