Science & Research

Verifiable Science

Magnesium activates the enzymes necessary for a number of physiological functions, including neuromuscular contractions, cardiac function, and the regulation of the acid-alkaline balance in the body.^1-4 In a cross-sectional study involving 210 elderly individuals, optimal magnesium intake was associated with positive mood, lipid metabolism and lean body mass.⁵ Magnesium is necessary for the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids and fats, as well as energy production and the utilization of calcium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium.^6-12 In a 15-year study involving almost 5,000 young adults, higher intakes of magnesium were associated with healthy cardiovascular function and glucose utilization.¹³ Another large cross-sectional study found that magnesium intake was positively associated with bone mineral density in certain subgroups.¹⁴ This vital mineral also helps utilize some vitamins, including vitamin B₆, vitamin C and vitamin E.^15,16 Magnesium (glycinate) is less likely to cause loose stools than other forms of magnesium.^17‡
