How it works
Magnesium is a critical mineral involved in over 300 enzyme reactions, including muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation [NIH ODS]. The bisglycinate form (magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine) is designed to be gentle on the stomach and may be better absorbed than other forms [NIH ODS]. Think of magnesium as a support worker for your nervous system and muscles, helping them relax and function smoothly.
Safety profile
