The mineral magnesium is crucial for the body to function properly because magnesium is involved in more than 600 of the body's enzymatic reactions. According to World Health Organization statistics, as many as 75 percent of U.S. adults do not meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Recommended Daily Intake of 420 mg of magnesium. Magnesium deficiency can manifest in many ways, such as inefficient blood sugar metabolism, muscle cramps or soreness, eyelid twitching, fatigue, and poor sleep. Why is magnesium important? Magnesium is essential for the health of the heart and blood vessels, brain, bones, muscles, and lungs, and to support healthy blood sugar; promotes bronchial relaxation; its an essential mineral for electrical activity of the heart, which supports healthy heart rate and rhythm; helps relax smooth and skeletal muscle; promotes the dilation of blood vessels (vasodilation), which supports normal blood pressure and enhances blood flow; supports insulin sensitivity for healthy blood sugar; and is a cofactor for enzymes involved in cellular energy production. Thornes Magnesium Bisglycinate is a great- tasting powder that can be mixed with water, juice, or with another powdered supplement. The compound magnesium bisglycinate is also called magnesium glycinate; however, because it has two glycine molecules attached, it is more accurately called bisglycinate (bis = two). The bisglycinate form has superior absorption because of increased solubility. Decreased laxative effect compared to other magnesium formulations because the bisglycinate form is a true chelate that completely envelopes the magnesium. Glycine is a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and stress reduction in the body making Magnesium Bisglycinate a good choice for pre-bedtime supplementation to support restful sleep.
