Magnesium Chelate - Albion® - 120 capsules

Magnesium Chelate by Doctor's Best

Magnesium Chelate is a unique, highly absorbable form of magnesium. It is an organic compound of elemental magnesium chelated with the amino acids L-lysine and glycine. The European Food Safety Organization (EFSA) recognizes the wide-ranging importance of magnesium for our health. Magnesium has a positive effect on the nervous system, benefits memory, concentration as well as learning performance. It plays a role in maintaining strong and supple muscles and strong bones. The mineral is also important for the heart and vessels, for cell division and the production of ATP (energy). For example, magnesium can be used to tackle fatigue, boost energy and help address sleeping problems.

Organic or inorganic magnesium

Magnesium is marketed in various forms, both inorganic and organic. For magnesium to have a substantive effect, it is essential that the correct form of magnesium is taken. An inorganic form, such as magnesium oxide, has to be dissolved first and is not properly absorbed. Organic forms of magnesium - magnesium bound to an organic substance - are well absorbed.

Magnesium Chelate is a highly absorbable organic form

Magnesium chelate is a form of magnesium in which the magnesium ions are bound to the amino acids glycine and L-lysine. In this dipeptide chelate form, the amino acids form a kind of ring around the magnesium ions, so that they are not broken down in the stomach. They are transported through the wall of the digestive tract and enter the bloodstream directly. Magnesium glycinate is considered to be one of the most absorbable forms of magnesium. Glycine is the body’s smallest amino acid and is an efficient means of transport for minerals, including magnesium.

Magnesium supplementation

Magnesium is the fourth mineral in the body by quantity, after calcium, potassium and sodium. 60% of the amount of magnesium resides in bone tissue and teeth; 20% in muscles; 20% in other soft tissues and liver; and less than 1% in the blood. 99% of all magnesium resides within cells (intracellular) or in bone tissue; the remaining 1% sits in the extracellular space. So almost every cell in the body utilizes magnesium. Magnesium is responsible for over 300 bodily biochemical processes. This includes the crucial process of generating ATP (energy) in the mitochondria of every cell.
