Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for our health. It is necessary for maintaining proper nerve and muscle function through its regulation of calcium, for the creation of cellular energy in mitochondria, and also acts as a cofactor for building DNA, RNA, and many proteins. Despite its great importance, it is commonly deficient in the Canadian population due to poor diet, medication depletion, and stress. Suboptimal magnesium levels create a pro-inflammatory state in the body with numerous health implications.

As more and more research continues to develop regarding the benefits of magnesium for human health, it is difficult not to consider supplementation for most patients. Clinical trials and large-scale evidence have shown that magnesium can be helpful for muscle tension, fatigue, anxiety, depression, insomnia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), cardiovascular disease, dementia, osteoporosis, migraines, and more.

Magnesium bis-glycinate is a form of magnesium that combines one molecule of the essential mineral with two molecules of the inhibitory amino acid glycine. This chelated bond is advantageous because it remains stable throughout the digestive tract, prevents magnesium from binding to other compounds, and provides access to dipeptide transport sites. Ultimately, this leads to greater absorption and tolerance in the body.

Magnesium malate is another highly bioavailable form of magnesium. Malate, also known as malic acid, is actually a substrate found in mitochondria that is used to create ATP and it works synergistically with magnesium to improve energy and reduce pain. In fact, placebo-controlled and open-label trials have confirmed that magnesium malate can reduce pain and tenderness in people with fibromyalgia.

Mag-Matrix Liquid provides 210 mg of elemental magnesium per tablespoon in a bioavailable blend of glycinate, malate, and citrate. This magnesium blend is in liquid form for convenient dosing and is naturally lemon-flavored for improved patient compliance.
