Magnesium Glycinate
A chelated form of magnesium bound to the amino acid glycine, offering superior absorption and minimal digestive side effects. Essential for over 300 enzymatic reactions including cardiac function.
What the Research Shows
Rosanoff et al. (2012)
Systematic review found magnesium supplementation reduced systolic blood pressure by 3–4 mmHg and diastolic by 2–3 mmHg.
Hypertension Research
Zhang et al. Meta-analysis (2016)
Higher magnesium intake associated with 22% lower risk of heart failure and 7% lower risk of stroke per 100 mg/day increase.
BMC Medicine
Del Gobbo et al. (2013)
Prospective study of 14,232 participants showed higher serum magnesium reduced sudden cardiac death risk by 38%.

How It Works
Magnesium acts as a natural calcium channel blocker in vascular smooth muscle, promoting relaxation and vasodilation. In cardiac cells, it stabilises electrical conduction and helps prevent arrhythmias. The glycinate form enhances intestinal absorption via amino acid transport pathways and provides the calming amino acid glycine as an added benefit.
