NOW Magnesium Citrate
Helps in tissue formation and helps to maintain proper muscle function. Magnesium is one of the most popular minerals sold, as it has far reaching effects and helps the body to metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins. The most common supplement forms of magnesium are the inorganic magnesium salts of oxide, carbonate and chloride, and the organic forms of aspartate, malate, glycinate, citrate and succinate. The organic forms are more easily digested and better absorbed than other forms of magnesium. NOW Magnesium citrate softgels provide a liquid base of magnesium citrate combined with glycinate and malate to produce an advanced, highly absorbable blend.
Magnesium is a mineral that is critical for energy production and metabolism, muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and bone mineralization. It is a required cofactor for an estimated 300 enzymes. Among the reactions catalyzed by these enzymes are fatty acid synthesis, protein synthesis, and glucose metabolism. Magnesium status is also important for regulation of calcium balance through its effects on the parathyroid gland. NOW Magnesium Citrate softgels represent our most bioavailable magnesium supplement.
