Magnesium is a vital nutrient for regulating many body processes, including muscle and nerve function, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure. This mineral also supports the making of protein, bone, and DNA.

The body requires magnesium in large amounts. This type of mineral is known as a macro-mineral.

Most people are magnesium deficient, a daily supplement ensures the body receives what it requires of this essential mineral.

Magnesium is one of the body’s most important minerals. In fact, it’s essential for over 300 different biochemical reactions1 in the body.2

Magnesium is a major factor in relaxing the smooth muscles within the blood vessels, thereby reducing peripheral vascular resistance and promoting a healthy cardiovascular system.3-6 Magnesium also affects circulating levels of norepinephrine and the synthesis of serotonin and nitric oxide.7-9

Magnesium positively influences the bone mineral matrix and its ability to metabolize minerals needed for repair and rebuilding.10,11 Scientific literature documents the need for a number of minerals, including calcium and magnesium, to help maintain strong, healthy bones.

Moreover, there is evidence that dietary magnesium intake and supplementation improves the metabolic profile.12-14 Magnesium has been shown to beneficially impact insulin resistance, serum lipid profiles, promote a healthy inflammatory response, support healthy endothelial function, protect against oxidative stress, and more.15-16

People with the following conditions might see positive effects after taking magnesium glycinate:

  • High blood pressure or heart disease: Magnesium supplements can help decrease blood pressure slightly.
  • Type 2 diabetes: Consuming high amounts of magnesium in the diet might reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. Magnesium helps to break down sugars and might decrease insulin resistance.
  • Osteoporosis: Magnesium plays a role in the development of healthy bones, and people with higher levels of magnesium might have a higher bone mineral density. This is important in helping reduce the risk of bone fractures and osteoporosis.
  • Migraine headaches: People who experience migraines sometimes have low levels of magnesium in their blood and tissues. Supplements may help reduce the frequency of migraines.
  • Depression: Serotonin is a “feel-good” chemical in the brain. Insufficient levels of magnesium seem to reduce serotonin levels, and antidepressants can raise levels of brain magnesium.
