Mag Glycinate - 240 Tablets

Mag Glycinate, available exclusively from Metagenics, is s fully reacted amino acid chelate that was produced by a unique, patented process designed to enhance absorption and intestinal tolerance of magnesium.

Mag Glycinate supports proper ATP production (cellular energy production) within the body. It also plays a vital role in growth, biosynthesis and thermogenesis, in addition to intestinal motility and mineralization.

Mag Glycinate was designed to support muscle relaxation and nerve transmission. It may help prevent leg cramps during sleep. Unlike other magnesium bis-glycinate formulations, Mag Glycinate is absorbed by a mechanism similar to that used by amino acids, so it isn’t dependent on stomach acids for absorption.

Benefits of Magnesium Glycinate

Magnesium glycinate is believed by many to alleviate symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or fibromyalgia. Those suffering from CFS or fibromyalgia usually have some degree of oxygen deprivation within their tissues. This is often related to an inability to utilize magnesium in the body. If your tissues become deprived of oxygen, you might feel muscle pain, tenderness or fatigue. One way to combat this issue is to take a readily absorbable form of magnesium, such as Mag Glycinate. If you’re supplementing with Mag Glycinate to treat symptoms of CFS or fibromyalgia, talk to your doctor about the appropriate dosage for you.

Magnesium glycinate is necessary for regulating neurotransmitter receptors, so it may also help you balance mood swings. Those who experience severe bouts of depression are usually deficient in magnesium glycinate, which can lead to anorexia, confusion, poor memory, trouble learning anxiety irritability, grieving, delirium or insomnia. The body may experience physical symptoms as well, such as tingling, muscle contractions, irregular or rapid heartbeat or numbness. Since magnesium helps stabilize the nervous system and glycine produces a calming effect on the body, magnesium glycinate is often used as a tool to address symptoms such as the ones mentioned above.

Glycine also helps to flush out magnesium from the body in a process called chelation. Excess mercury in the body can also cause mood instability, so this further helps the supplement in its mood enhancing capabilities.

Magnesium Deficiency

If you are experiencing symptoms of fatigue, weakness, appetite loss or nausea and vomiting, you may be experiencing the early symptoms of magnesium deficiency. If these symptoms are followed by abnormal heart rhythms, seizures, tingling, coronary spasms or personality changes, you may be experiencing the more extreme signs of a serious magnesium deficiency. If a deficiency is allowed to get to this point, your calcium and potassium levels may also suffer. If you are experiencing any of the above mentioned symptoms, it is important that you talk to your doctor about getting tested for a magnesium deficiency. It is possible that these symptoms are related to another medical condition, so you should receive a full evaluation.

If you find that you are suffering from a magnesium deficiency, magnesium gylcinate is one of the best supplements you can take because it is well absorbed by the body.
