Mag Glycinate features a magnesium amino acid chelate (bis-glycinate) designed to enhance absorption and intestinal tolerance. Unlike other formulations, the magnesium in Mag Glycinate is designed to be absorbed via a mechanism similar to that used by amino acids and unlike typical mineral ion absorption; not be dependent on stomach acidity for absorption; improve bowel tolerance to magnesium. Magnesium is an essential mineral that acts as a cofactor in many metabolic processes. Magnesium supports muscle relaxation and nervous system health.
