Magnesium is one of the most abundant elements in the universe… and in the human body. It is essential to all the cells in your body and the activity of more than 300 enzymes. For all these essential functions—and specifically for healthy muscles, nerves and bones—try Swanson Albion Chelated Magnesium. Each capsule contains 133 mg of Albion amino acid chelated magnesium. It features magnesium glycinate chelate. 

Magnesium has long been popular for its soothing properties. Studies now suggest a link between magnesium and stress. Intakes of 300-500 mg per day may help promote healthy levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, by influencing the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.

What Makes Chelated Mineral Glycinates So Superior? First we need to understand the chelation process. Chelation is the result of minerals becoming chemically bound to amino acids in a very specific manner. Chelation occurs during the digestive process to facilitate transport of minerals across the intestinal wall so that they may be utilized throughout the body. Amino acids are not the only “chelators” available, but they are ideal for minerals. The body is very efficient at absorbing individual amino acids, and Albion has identified the amino acid glycine as the preferred molecule for creating organic chelated minerals. Glycine is readily identified and absorbed across the intestinal wall, and Albion’s glycinate chelates are actually small enough to transport right into the cells themselves!
