Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 metabolic reactions. It is involved in maintaining muscle function and contractions among several other important physiological roles. Magnesium helps maintain bone health by regulating the production of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitriol, which helps increase calcium assimilation and minimize the risk of calcium deficiency. In the United States, it is estimated that about 64% of men and 67% of women do not get enough magnesium, with numbers even higher among older adults. Magnesium glycinate (also called magnesium bisglycinate) is a highly water-soluble amino acid chelate composed of magnesium and two glycine molecules. Clinical evidence indicates that the bioavailability of magnesium glycinate is significantly higher compared to magnesium oxide and is less likely to cause a laxative effect. Supplementing with magnesium glycinate has been shown to decrease the severity of muscle cramps: in a clinical trial of 86 healthy pregnant women with recurrent muscle cramps, supplementing 300 mg of magnesium glycinate for 4 weeks reduced both the frequency and intensity of leg cramps.
