Magnesium Complex Liquid is a concentrated combination of three organic magnesium sources, including glycinate, citrate and malate. Magnesium is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies in Canada: over 34% of Canadians aged 19+ do not obtain the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) for magnesium, with inadequate intakes rising above 40% in older men and women.¹ Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is a cofactor in over 300 metabolic reactions.² Magnesium plays an important role in regulating muscle function as a cofactor for creatine kinase, an enzyme that generates ATP from phosphocreatine stored in muscle tissues during intense exercise.^2,3 Magnesium supplementation has been shown to improve alactic anaerobic metabolism, and help decrease the frequency and intensity of muscle cramping in pregnant women (who typically have lower serum magnesium levels).⁴ Each tablespoon serving of Magnesium Complex Liquid provides 500 mg of magnesium to also support macronutrient metabolism and bone health.
