Doctors Best - High Absorption Magnesium Tablets 120

Magnesium is a vital dietary mineral involved in hundreds of processes inside and outside the body's cells. Adequate magnesium is a fundamental requirement for the cardiovascular system, the nervous system, skeletal muscle, the digestive tract and the uterus, and too little of it affects not only the heart, blood vessels and bones but may also affect blood sugar balance.

High Absorption Magnesium supplies elemental magnesium chelated with the amino acids glycine and lysine. Glycine has been shown to be an efficient carrier for minerals, helping absorption in the intestinal tract, and is also used by the body to form collagen — a key protein in cartilage and connective tissue. Lysine is an essential amino acid that assists gastric function. The magnesium in this product is not buffered, meaning it is not mixed with cheaper, less absorbable magnesium oxide.
