*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Like vitamins, minerals are essential nutrients to life. Magnesium is no doubt commercially touted as a dietary mineral we human beings can�t live without, and for good reason. It is one indispensable chemical element, being a vital part of all types of cells in all living organisms, and thus its presence is required everywhere. Magnesium glycinate is one of most recent innovations in the realm of nutritional supplements, and its specialized approach to correct magnesium deficiency is central to its development.

Today it is widely believed that insufficient regular intake of magnesium is associated with loss of appetite, increased fatigue, recurrent headaches, with more serious medical conditions like osteoporosis, hypertension, coronary spasms, and even with mental illnesses like anxiety disorders and clinical depression. While deficiency of magnesium is rare, it was documented as early as the first quarter of the 20th century. It has been a focal point of the ongoing magnesium craze to address the falling short of specified amounts of dietary magnesium in individuals in surveys, inasmuch as over half of the population does not meet the nutritional requirement for magnesium.

Why Does Our Body Need Magnesium?

Let�s take a closer look at how magnesium works in the body. We humans are multi-cellular. Our body systems, organs, tissues are a group of cells, the basic unit of life. Each single cell is a complex factory of all sorts and takes on just any job necessary to maintain healthy tissues, organs, and systems. As it goes about its tasks, every cell needs the power of ATP, adenosine triphosphate; for ATP to be functional, it requires the presence of magnesium ions. Now you can speculate what would happen if you took away magnesium.

ATP and Magnesium are Partners

When you lift your hand to pick up your phone, the central nervous system sends signals to tissues, enzymes, and everything involved in the action. This action is among a number of activities that call for the participation of enzymes, and a large group of enzymes needs in turn the participation of ATP. ATP binds to these enzymes in the presence of magnesium. No wonder magnesium supplements have been claimed to alleviate muscle spasms among others.

Why Magnesium Glycinate?

A group of machines inside the cells are responsible for producing ATP whereas magnesium is imported from the outside. The tricky part is that the cell membranes do not permit entrance to magnesium ions unless accompanied by transport proteins, which at the same time allows magnesium ions to perform its intracellular activities.

Amino acids like glycine serves as excellent transport proteins in that they are well absorbed by the body. Also, glycine has been used in the administration of drugs to patients with high purity requirements. Magnesium forms a good combination with glycine since the latter effectively hauls the former through the cell membranes and into the cells. Hence, magnesium glycinate makes an ideal magnesium supplement.

Magnesium glycinate is available at your local or internet vitamin store in capsule or tablet forms. Always choose name brands like Kal to ensure quality and purity of the magnesium product your purchase for better health.
