According to World Health Organization statistics, as many as 75 percent of U.S. adults do not meet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Recommended Daily Intake of 420 mg of magnesium. Magnesium deficiency can manifest in many ways, such as inefficient blood sugar metabolism, muscle cramps or soreness, eyelid twitching, fatigue, and poor sleep.   Why is magnesium important?•  Magnesium is essential for the health of the heart and blood vessels, brain, bones, muscles, and lungs, and to support healthy blood sugar•  Promotes bronchial relaxation•  It’s an essential mineral for electrical activity of the heart, which supports healthy heart rate and rhythm•  Helps relax smooth and skeletal muscle•  Promotes the dilation of blood vessels (vasodilation), which supports normal blood pressure and enhances blood flow•  Supports insulin sensitivity for healthy blood sugar•  Is a cofactor for enzymes involved in cellular energy production   Benefits of Thorne’s Magnesium Bisglycinate:•  Magnesium Bisglycinate is a great-tasting powder that can be mixed with water, juice, or with another powdered supplement.•  The compound magnesium bisglycinate is also called magnesium glycinate; however, because it has two glycine molecules attached, it is more accurately called “bisglycinate” (bis = two). The bisglycinate form has superior absorption because of increased solubility.•  Decreased laxative effect compared to other magnesium formulations because the bisglycinate form is a true chelate that completely envelopes the magnesium.•  Glycine is a neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and stress reduction in the body – making Magnesium Bisglycinate a good choice for pre-bedtime supplementation to support restful sleep.   Because athletes need to know their supplements are trustworthy, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of more than 200 substances banned by many major athletic organizations.   The NSF Certified for Sport® certification program, verifies that: Testing products so they do not contain any of 290 substances banned by major athletic organizations The contents of the supplement actually match what is printed on the label Toxicological review of ingredients and verification of the product Directions Suggested Use: Mix 1 scoop with at least 8 ounces of water daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.
