Magnesium Citrate Veg Capsules (120)

Description

NOW Foods Magnesium Citrate contains 400mg elemental magnesium, from 2,665 mg Magnesium Citrate per serving which supports nervous system function. Magnesium is a mineral that is critical for energy production and metabolism, muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and bone mineralization.

Magnesium is a required cofactor for an estimated 300 enzymes. One of these enzymatic cofactors is the activation of Vitamin D which contributes to the strengthening and maintenance of bones. Among the reactions catalyzed by these enzymes are fatty acid synthesis, protein synthesis, and glucose metabolism. Protein synthesis is key to increasing lean muscle tissue.

Magnesium status is also important for the regulation of calcium balance through its effects on the parathyroid gland. Whenever one takes magnesium as a standalone supplement, calcium supplementation is required at double the magnesium dosage.

Depending on your protocol, for maintenance use, this one product should last four months.
