NOW - Magnesium Transporters

Info: 180 Capsules; Includes 5 Forms, for 120 mg Total Elemental Magnesium Per Capsule You've likely heard of the many functions of Magnesium in our bodies, such as supporting normal electrolyte balance, energy and nutrient metabolism, and muscle function; and helping form or maintain bones, teeth, and tissue. But you've probably also learned there are many different supplementary forms of it, each with their own pros and cons, and may be wondering which type might be right for you. So why not try.... many of the best types at once, to achieve a synergistic effect with a minimum of side effects? Product Notes: Even apart from the format they're delivered in (e.g., capsules, tablets, powders, liquids, lotions, gummies...), there are many different types of magnesium supplements available: as many as 15! Depending on what compounds the mineral has been bound with to improve its stability and absorption. (e.g., with citric acid, chlorine, or oxygen, or with amino acids like glycine or taurine to form magnesium salts when they're 'chelated' together). The resulting combinations tend to vary both on which symptoms or bodily systems they're more beneficial for, and in how easily our bodies can absorb them, and how well tolerated they are. Some types are not absorbed very well at all, which is literally wasteful, so this formulation has settled on five forms selected for Optimal Bioavailability (i.e., for maximal absorption and utilization). These 5 types and their main reputed effects, are: Magnesium Citrate, for its gentle laxative effect to maintain regularity (or to treat constipation, at higher doses); Magnesium Glycinate, for its calming properties, which may help reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, insomnia, or depression; Magnesium Taurinate (aka Magnesium Taurate), for helping to manage high blood sugar and blood pressure levels; Magnesium Malate, which has less of a laxative effect than most types, and is sometimes used to reduce fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms.; and, Magnesium Aspartate, for helping with muscle recovery, performance, and energy production, as well as for reducing muscle cramps.
