Main Product Description
AOR® Magnesium Glycinate — Highly Absorbable Magnesium for Muscle, Nerve, and Bone Support
Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including those responsible for energy production, muscle function, and nerve transmission.
AOR’s Magnesium Glycinate provides magnesium in its most bioavailable and gentle form — magnesium bisglycinate — making it easy on the stomach and suitable for long-term use.
This form of magnesium is bound to the amino acid glycine, which enhances absorption and reduces the likelihood of gastrointestinal discomfort. It plays a crucial role in supporting muscle relaxation, maintaining bone strength, regulating metabolism, and promoting a calm nervous system.
Key Features
- Highly absorbable and gentle form of magnesium (bisglycinate)
- Supports muscle relaxation and healthy nerve function
- Promotes better sleep quality and helps reduce stress
- Contributes to energy metabolism and bone health
- Vegan, Non-GMO, and Gluten Free
- Gentle on the stomach — ideal for sensitive individuals
Mechanism of Action
Magnesium is vital for ATP (energy) production and acts as a cofactor for numerous enzymes involved in metabolism. The glycinate form provides superior bioavailability and absorption compared to other forms such as magnesium oxide or citrate. Glycine itself has calming effects on the brain, contributing to magnesium glycinate’s ability to promote relaxation and restful sleep.
Scientific and Clinical Context
- Deficiency in magnesium is linked to muscle cramps, fatigue, irritability, and poor sleep.
- Clinical studies suggest magnesium glycinate improves muscle and nerve function while supporting cardiovascular health.
- It is one of the most well-tolerated magnesium supplements for individuals prone to digestive sensitivity.
