Country Life 400mg Chelated Magnesium Glycinate Tablet is a mineral supplement formulated such that magnesium is available in chelated form which reacts with amino acid chelate and offers better bioavailability. Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. Magnesium is important for healthy bone functions. Magnesium glycinate helps in muscle relaxation and nerve function. It also manages to maintain regular heart health and a healthy immune system, as well as keep bones strong. The bones are also a reservoir that stores magnesium for the body. Approximately 60% of the magnesium in your body occurs in bone, while the rest is in muscles, soft tissues, and fluids, including blood. Magnesium glycinate helps to regulate the transport of calcium across cell membranes, playing a key role in bone creation. People with higher intakes of magnesium have a higher bone mineral density, which is important in reducing the risk of bone fractures and osteoporosis. Getting more magnesium from foods or dietary supplements might help older women improve their bone mineral density. Wellness goals differ from person to person.
