Magnesium glycinate is a chelate of magnesium combined with the amino acid, glycine. Taken as a supplement, it is used to supply an adequate amounts of the essential element, magnesium.
Dietary magnesium is required by every cell in the body and is a necessary component in hundreds of metabolic processes. Magnesium supports muscle, immune and nerve function, and energy transport. Magnesium functions as a cofactor in many biochemical reactions. Magnesium is also a coordinating ion for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) , the main carrier of metabolic energy in the body. Magnesium is also required for biosynthetic processes such as glycolysis, formation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), energy-dependent membrane transport, and transmission of genetic code for protein synthesis.
The amino acid, glycine is an important component of protein, especially skeletal muscle and cartilage.

This chelated magnesium glycinate dissolves easily and completely in juice or plain water. The taste is a bit sweet and bit earthy but very palatable. I take 3 rounded 1/4 teaspoons daily along with 250mg of calcium carbonate with each dose. It has so improved my episodes of irregular heartbeats and my sleep at night. I highly recommend this product and it is a great value from a very responsive company, PureBulk. (Posted on 3/22/13)Quality
