Magnesium glycinate- with 300 mg pure magnesium per daily dose - 180 capsules - from Unimedica

An indispensable mineral for performance and well-being

These magnesium capsules from Unimedica contain magnesium glycinate. The magnesium is bound to the amino acid glycine (chelate). It is particularly gentle and well absorbed by the body. Unimedica magnesium glycinate capsules contain 100 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule, which the body can process most readily.

Magnesium is an important mineral that affects our energy, performance and overall well-being. It provides an energy boost when fatigue and exhaustion overcome us. But it can do much more:

Why we need magnesium

Magnesium is a metal and acts as a cofactor for hundreds of enzymes. It is essential to over 300 different processes in the body, for example in energy production, protein synthesis and muscle contraction. Magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. It is involved in communication between nerve cells and supports muscle function, and thus the function of the heart and blood vessels.

Highly bioavailable as a chelate and suitable for those with sensitivities

Magnesium glycinate is an organic form of magnesium in which the mineral is bound to the amino acid glycine. This chelate complex is especially well tolerated by the stomach and is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and even reaches the brain. This form of magnesium is also suitable for people with sensitive stomachs, as it is gentle on the mucous membranes. Chelation with glycine also prevents the mineral from binding to other substances, allowing each nutrient to exert its full effect.

Why we may not always get enough magnesium

Magnesium is an indispensable mineral that the body cannot produce itself and must therefore obtain from food. Magnesium-rich foods include leafy green vegetables, nuts and seeds, whole grains, legumes, dark chocolate and mineral water.

Although magnesium is present in a wide variety of foods, many people do not consume enough. Various factors such as depleted soils, alcohol consumption, taking certain medications or health problems can contribute to low magnesium levels. One of the main causes of inadequate magnesium intake, however, is often a diet high in processed foods.

In such cases, dietary supplements can help to close the gap and ensure that the recommended daily amount of magnesium is reached.
