Why 200mg elemental of Magnesium?

How Magnesium works

Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body and a cofactor for over 300 enzymatic reactions. It is essential for ATP synthesis (every ATP molecule is bound to magnesium), protein synthesis, DNA replication, and muscle relaxation via calcium channel antagonism.

Magnesium bisglycinate (magnesium chelated to glycine) has significantly superior bioavailability compared to magnesium oxide (the form used in most budget supplements), which has bioavailability as low as 4%. The chelate bond protects magnesium from competing mineral absorption in the gut. Albion TRAACS is the gold standard grade for chelated minerals.

Key benefits

• Cofactor for 300+ enzymatic reactions including ATP synthesis
• Superior absorption vs oxide form (the most common cheap form)
• Supports muscle relaxation and recovery
• Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue (GB NHC-authorised)
• Critical for DNA synthesis and repair
