Magnesium Glycinate 200mg

Now Magnesium Glycinate 200mg contains magnesium bound to glycine, an amino acid that aids in its absorption in the intestines.

As a crucial mineral, magnesium supports energy production, muscle function, nerve transmission, and bone strength and serves as a coenzyme for approximately 300 enzymes, including those involved in fat and protein synthesis, and glucose metabolism.

Maintaining adequate magnesium levels is also key for maintaining calcium balance through the parathyroid gland.

Magnesium Glycinate 200mg provides magnesium bound to glycine, an amino acid. This form is commonly chosen when you want magnesium for muscle function, nervous system support, and sleep, but you also want something that is usually easy on the stomach. Because glycine is part of the structure, magnesium glycinate is often used for steady daily support rather than a more laxative style magnesium.

With 200mg of elemental magnesium per two tablets, NOW Magnesium Glycinate 200mg is aimed at topping up your magnesium intake in a form many people find comfortable to take long term. Magnesium is involved in muscle contraction, nerve signalling, energy metabolism, and bone health, so this kind of formula is often used when you want one product that covers those basics without extra herbs or stimulants.

What is magnesium glycinate commonly used for?
Magnesium glycinate is commonly used for muscle relaxation, nervous system support, sleep support, and general magnesium replenishment. It is also one of the forms people often look for when they want something gentler on digestion.

Why is glycine included in Magnesium Glycinate 200mg?
Glycine is the amino acid attached to the magnesium. Its main job here is to create the glycinate form, which is valued for good absorption and everyday tolerance.

What am I getting from NOW Magnesium Glycinate 200mg besides magnesium?
The key active ingredient is magnesium bisglycinate. The rest of the tablet is made up of standard tableting ingredients, so the focus of this product is really the magnesium itself rather than a long list of added nutrients.
