The most studied form for absorption and digestive tolerance. Magnesium is chelated with glycine, an amino acid, which makes it highly soluble and stable in the gastrointestinal tract. It does not compete with other minerals for absorption. It is the industry's reference standard for the most digestively tolerated form of magnesium.
Main mechanisms
- Muscle relaxation: acts as a physiological antagonist to calcium in muscle contraction
- Sleep quality: activates GABA receptors in the peripheral nervous system, reducing nocturnal hyperactivation
- Nervous system: cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions, including serotonin synthesis
