Durable MAGNESIUM®

Magnesium comes in various forms typically attached to another molecule in a structure called a chelate. Differing chelates of magnesium lend themselves to different therapeutic actions due to changes in absorbability and based on the biological properties of the attached molecule.*

Magnesium glycinate is a chelate structure where magnesium is attached to the amino acid glycine. It and magnesium citrate are considered the most highly absorbable forms of magnesium. However, unlike magnesium citrate, magnesium glycinate does not produce a laxative effect in the large intestine, making it gentler and often more tolerable than magnesium citrate.*

Magnesium glycinate has other unique and beneficial effects due to the action of the amino acid glycine. This amino acid plays an important role in the neurotransmitter balance in your brain and supports the health of the nervous system.*

Like most nutritional supplements, Durable MAGNESIUM will take time and consistent use to build up in your system in order to achieve maximum effectiveness. However, depending on your current magnesium levels, you can expect to feel some benefits more quickly—often beginning the first time you take it. You might notice that you feel calmer and less stressed or tense. Take Durable MAGNESIUM before bed for better, more restful sleep.*

Due to modern farming practices and soil depletion, magnesium levels in our food supplies have fallen dramatically over the last 50 or so years. As a result, most of us aren’t getting the magnesium we need from our diets—even if we make an effort to include healthy, magnesium-rich foods—which makes supplementation a must.*

Stress can also contribute to magnesium deficiency. When we’re under stress, the body moves magnesium out of the cells for protection and regulation.*

There are no significant known side effects associated with taking magnesium glycinate. Notably, unlike other forms of magnesium, it will not cause digestive distress or have a laxative effect. However, pregnant or nursing women should always consult with their healthcare provider prior to using any supplements. Additionally, if you a have any medical conditions or are taking any type of medication, it’s best to check with your healthcare provider before taking any supplements.*

I recommend taking the full dose (2 capsules) once daily, either with your morning meal or with your evening meal. You might notice that you feel calmer and less stressed or tense, so you may prefer to take Durable MAGNESIUM before bed for better, more restful sleep.

If desired, the dose can be split up, and taken as 1 capsule in the morning and 1 capsule in the evening, with food. If you have a sensitive stomach, I recommend taking it after a meal on a full stomach.*

Nuflow is a natural filler and flowing agent made from the outer hulls of rice. Flowing agents are used in the production of all encapsulated or tableted supplements to help prevent the ingredients from clumping as they flow through the encapsulating machinery. Most companies use synthetic flowing agents like silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, talc or steric acid, which can potentially inhibit the absorption of the active ingredients or may be potentially harmful.*
