Moss Nutrition: Magnesium Select (Malate/Glycinate) - 100 Capsules

MAGNESIUM is a critical mineral for human health, involved in more than 300 metabolic reactions throughout the body. A required cofactor in many enzymatic processes, magnesium has a relaxing effect on the body and works in opposition to contractive calcium to enable muscles to relax. Magnesium is essential to cardiovascular health, and plays key roles in energy production and insulin sensitivity. Magnesium is also an important structural mineral in bones, teeth, cell membranes and chromosomes.

Many factors contribute to a magnesium imbalance including gastrointestinal illnesses like irritable bowel syndrome, prolonged stress, kidney diseases and thyroid problems. Certain medications like proton pump inhibitors, beta blockers and diuretics can decrease levels of magnesium. Symptoms of an imbalance include agitation and anxiety, restless leg, insomnia and sleep disorders, muscle spasms and low blood pressure.
