Contains Magnesium Glycinate. When extra magnesium is needed, our Amino-Mag 200™ is an excellent choice. It supplies 200 mg. of elemental magnesium per tablet as a unique, patented amino acid chelate. This special glycinate/lysinate combination can be absorbed intact, providing high bioavailability of magnesium. Plus, it's exceptionally well-tolerated and without G.I. side-effects.
Indications / UsesMagnesium plays an essential role in a wide range of
funda-mental cellular reactions. More than 300
enzymes require magnesium as a cofactor.
Complexed with ATP, the main carrier of metabolic
energy in the body, magnesium is essential for all
biosynthetic processes, glycolysis, formation of c-
AMP, energy-dependent membrane transport, transmission
of genetic code for protein synthesis, and
muscle function.
Of the 20-30 grams of total body magnesium, about
40% is located in muscle and other soft tissues, and
the remainder in bone. The concentration of
intracellular magnesium is carefully regulated, and its
alterations can have profound effects on cardiac and
skeletal muscle physiology.
Healthy people require about 4.5 mg of dietary
magnesium per kg body weight, or 280 mg for a 62
kg female and 350 mg for a 76 kg male. The U.S.
RDA is 400 mg/day.
The efficiency of magnesium absorption is a function
of dietary intake. At very low intakes (less than 40
mg) 65-70% of dietary magnesium is absorbed,
whereas at high intakes (1,000 mg) less than 15% is
absorbed. Most people are expected to absorb about
30-60% at common levels of dietary magnesium.
Contrary to common belief, recent studies suggest
that magnesium absorption is not affected by calcium
or vitamin D, and vice-versa. The kidney plays a
critical role in magnesium homeostasis. At average
magnesium intakes, the kidneys reabsorb about 95%
of the filtered magnesium. Douglas Laboratories’
glycine/lysine chelate used in Amino-Mag 200 is a
well absorbed and highly tolerated form of
magnesium.Product Contains
