You may have heard the term “magnesium,” but do you know what it is and what it does for the human body? – Not sure? Perfect! We’ve got the rundown below!
Magnesium is one of seven essential macro-minerals that should be consumed by an individual each day, according to many health experts. Moreover, magnesium is the third most common mineral in our bodies, after calcium and phosphorus, responsible for the proper functioning of hundreds of enzymes and hormones. Having enough magnesium is key to many vital functions in our bodies.
According to some studies, magnesium may help in maintaining healthy heart rhythms and cardiovascular functions. Studies have also suggested that magnesium is also important for keeping bones healthy by helping with the assimilation of Calcium and Vitamin D.
On average, a person has 25 grams of magnesium in their body. Most of it is found in our bones, cartilage, and muscles at any given time. The other one percent of body magnesium left is responsible for the smooth execution of many cellular and enzymatic processes. Even the slightest drop in this small amount of magnesium found in cellular fluids, also referred to as your serum magnesium level, can disrupt the optimal functioning of the body.
The standard recommendations by experts for daily amounts of magnesium change as we age. Many studies have revealed that an adult woman needs about 310 milligrams of magnesium per day, however, when they reached the age of 31 and above, they need to have at least 320 milligrams of magnesium although pregnant women need an extra 40 milligrams. For men, 400 milligrams is said to be required at the very least. It is always best to seek advice from your doctor regarding the amount of magnesium one should have.
Glycine is considered a relaxing neurotransmitter and may enhance magnesium’s natural calming properties. It is a non-essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis and transmission of chemical signals in the brain.
Thus, Magnesium Glycinate could be one of the best types for those who want to promote mental calm, relaxation, and good quality sleep. It is a gentle form for individuals who are sensitive to magnesium oxide or citrate, as it is less likely to cause a laxative effect.

As we age, some parts of our body may become susceptible to pains and inflammation. Most common of which are joints. Our joints serve as a form of the connections between our bones. They provide support and help us move. Any damage to our joints may interfere with our movement and cause a lot of pain. Joint pain can range from mildly irritating to debilitating. At the most extent, it may affect our daily body functions.
