Magnesium

Magnesium Glycinate is a superior ingredient to many other kinds of commercial supplementation. Other compounds, such as Magnesium Oxide or Magnesium Citrate, have very low absorption rates, if any. Magnesium is the 4th most abundant mineral in the body that is critical for cognitive health and is involved in over 600 enzymatic functions within the body. Magnesium Glycinate is a more absorbable form that is designed to more easily cross the blood brain barrier (BBB); this creates brain synaptic plasticity which is how our brains learn and create memories, your brain makes cell-to-cell connections. It is also critical for all of your body’s electrical and electrochemical activities. Magnesium also acts as a sedative in magnesium deficient populations (which is an increasingly staggering percentage of Americans) and will enhance your quality of sleep. There is a growing body of research that suggests that one of the factors in causing ADHD is a lack of magnesium. A study in Poland showed that 95% of of children examined with ADD or ADHD were magnesium deficient.

Many other forms of Magnesium can cause diarrhea and bloating, Magnesium Glycinate shows less gastrointestinal symptoms. We believe that Americans need a strong source of this vital mineral if they want to be at the top of their game mentally, which is why we added a hefty dose into our performance enhancing beverage.
