NOW – Magnesium Citrate Caps (B/120)

Magnesium is a mineral that is critical for energy production and metabolism, muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and bone mineralization. It is a required cofactor for an estimated 300 enzymes. Among the reactions catalyzed by these enzymes are fatty acid synthesis, protein synthesis, and glucose metabolism. Magnesium status is also important for regulation of calcium balance through its effects on the parathyroid gland.

Example:

• Supports energy production
• Critical for enzyme function
• Aids in muscle contraction and relaxation
• Supports healthy nerve function
• Helps maintain strong bones
• Assists in protein and fatty acid synthesis
• Supports glucose metabolism and blood sugar balance
• Helps regulate calcium levels in the body
• Contributes to cardiovascular health
