Genestra Magnesium Glycinate Liquid is a magnesium glycinate formulation with a natural apple-pomegranate flavour. Magnesium is a cofactor in over 300 metabolic reactions. It is involved in the maintenance
of muscle function, glucose metabolism and muscle contraction, among several other
important physiological roles. Magnesium helps to maintain bone health by regulating
the production of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitriol, which helps to increase
calcium absorption and minimize risk of calcium deficiency.In the United States,
insufficient magnesium intake is estimated to occur in approximately 64% of men and
67% of women, with even higher levels of insufficient intake in elderly individuals.
Magnesium glycinate (also known as magnesium bisglycinate) is a highly water soluble
amino acid chelate of magnesium and two glycine molecules. Clinical evidence indicates
that magnesium glycinate has a significantly higher bioavailability than magnesium
oxide, and is less likely to cause a laxative effect. Supplementation with magnesium
glycinate has been shown to decrease the severity of muscle cramping: in a clinical trial on
86 healthy pregnant women with recurrent muscle cramps, supplementation with 300
mg of magnesium glycinate for 4 weeks reduced both the frequency and intensity
of leg cramps.Recommended Dose: Adults: Take 1 tablespoon 1 to 2
times daily or as recommended by your healthcare
practitioner. Children and adolescents (9-17 years): Take 1
tablespoon daily or as recommended by your healthcare
practitioner. If preferred, Magnesium Glycinate Liquid can be
mixed with juice or water.Caution: Risk Information: Some people may experience diarrhoea.
