Magnesium: A Versatile Element
Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for the human body. On average, an adult’s body contains 25–30 grams of magnesium. Sixty percent of this is stored in the bones. Another 30 percent of the magnesium is found in the tissues, primarily in the muscles.
Magnesium plays an important role in the body’s energy production and in the healthy functioning of nerves and muscles. The activity of more than 300 different enzymes depends on the presence of this mineral in the body. Magnesium is found in foods such as soy flour, barley, brown rice, wheat bran, sunflower seeds, chocolate, whole-wheat bread, lentils, wheat germ, walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, peanuts, magnesium-rich mineral waters, and spinach.
Magnesium Glycinate
Magnesium glycinate is an organic compound in which magnesium is bound to the amino acid glycine. It offers the following benefits:
- High bioavailability: Because it is bound to glycine, magnesium is absorbed in the intestine via the amino acid transport pathways. This allows the body to utilize it particularly efficiently and quickly.
- Gentle on the stomach: Forms of magnesium such as magnesium oxide or magnesium citrate draw water into the intestines and often have a laxative effect at higher doses. Magnesium glycinate is considered a very well-tolerated form and causes virtually no gastrointestinal discomfort or diarrhea.Schonend für den Magen: Magnesium Formen wie Magnesiumoxid oder Magnesiumcitrat ziehen im Darm Wasser und wirken in höheren Dosen oft abführend. Magnesium Glycinat gilt als eine sehr verträgliche Form und löst praktisch keine Magen-Darm-Beschwerden oder Durchfälle aus.
- An additional calming effect: Glycine is an amino acid that acts as a calming neurotransmitter in the brain (similar to GABA). It slows down nerve signal transmission and signals the body to relax.
