Magnesium BisGlycinate

Benefits of Magnesium Glycinate

• People with high blood sugar levels are likely to have low magnesium levels in the body.  Studies have shown that magnesium glycinate supplements significantly reduce fasting blood glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity in people with diabetes, as well as those at high risk for diabetes.
• Magnesium glycinate supplements have been shown to effectively reduce high blood pressure levels, especially in diabetic people, as magnesium promotes the release of nitric oxide, which helps to relax blood vessels and maintain blood pressure.
• Studies have shown that magnesium glycinate supplements may help to reduce symptoms of anxiety, help to regulate stress and keep cortisol (the chronic stress hormone) levels in check, and help to reduce depressive symptoms.
• Supplementation with magnesium glycinate may improve bone health, as it helps to regulate calcium and vitamin D levels, which are vital for bone health.
• Magnesium is required for the active transport of calcium and potassium ions across cell membranes and magnesium glycinate supplements may improve the conduction of nerve impulses, muscle contraction, and normal heart rhythm.
• Magnesium glycinate is a gut-friendly form of magnesium that is readily absorbed in the gut and less likely to cause gastrointestinal side effects than some other forms of magnesium. 
• This form of magnesium adds to the glycine pool of the body, with glycine a vital component of the powerful cellular antioxidant, glutathione.
• Magnesium glycinate supplements may help to improve sleep quality and duration by increasing the activity of receptors in the brain for the chemical gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter which is crucial for sleep regulation.
