Many adults are Magnesium deficient in Canada, and with the many types of Magnesium on the market, it’s hard to know what to buy. Magnesium Bisglycinate is the most bioavailable form of Magnesium on the market.
The combination of Magnesium and Glycine offers intestinal tolerability, and no laxative effect. Because of the structure of Magnesium Bisglycinate (two glycine amino acids), it goes through the peptide channels and doesn’t compete for the same channels as other minerals. This aids in its assimilation and absorption without having negative drawbacks.
Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body, including, but definitely not limited to, protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation.
Magnesium is also required for energy production and also contributes to the structural development of bone and is required for the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and, the “master antioxidant”, Glutathione. Magnesium plays a role in the active transport of calcium and potassium ions across cell membranes, a process that is important to nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction, and normal heart rhythm. On top, over a third of Canadians are deficient in this element according to a Canadian Community Health Survey .
