Australian NaturalCare Magnesium Chelate 1000mg helps relieve muscle cramps and spasms. Magnesium is essential for good health. It plays a role in over 300 enzymatic reactions, is needed by every organ in the body and is fundamental to every major biological process. Without magnesium, our body cannot function properly. We cannot produce energy, regulate our heartbeat and our muscles would be constantly contracted. Magnesium is classified as a macromineral, meaning the body needs large amounts of it. It is found in high concentrations in dark green leafy vegetables, legumes, beans, peas and nuts. Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate is one of the best-absorbed forms of Magnesium as it is attached to an amino acid molecule, which means it can easily travel along the digestive tract without getting trapped by other compounds. It is also less irritating on the gut than other forms of Magnesium. Magnesium Chelate is: - Highly absorbable. - Gentle on the stomach. - Helps relieve muscle cramps and mild muscle spasms. - Helps maintain and support cardiovascular system health. - Helps support bone development and bone health. - Helps support nerve conduction and neuromuscular function. - Helps in the synthesis of proteins in the body. Some forms of Magnesium are also gentler on the stomach and better tolerated by the body. That's why we have used a Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate in this formula.
