Magnesium is essential in over 800 different enzymatic functions in your body. But how do you know which is best for you? CanPrev Magnesium Full Spectrum is formulated with four kinds of magnesium to offer a wider range of magnesium benefits in one convenient dose.
Magnesium bis-glycinate
Magnesium bis-glycinate is formed when elemental magnesium is combined with glycine, an amino acid that builds important proteins needed for the maintenance of hormones and tissue. Glycine acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter and can have a calming effect on the brain.
Magnesium malate
Magnesium malate is a unique chelated compound formed by binding magnesium with malic acid, commonly found in specific fruits. This process creates a synergistic effect that boosts absorption to ensure the nutrients are properly distributed. Magnesium is a cofactor in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, the energy currency of our cells. Malic acid is naturally found in the mitochondria to create ATP, so it’s thought that pairing these two nutrients together may help improve energy and even reduce pain.
Magnesium L-threonate
Threonic acid is a water-soluble substance that’s formed when vitamin C is broken down in the body. When you combine magnesium and threonic acid, you get magnesium L-threonate. It is thought that when magnesium is bound to threonic acid to form magnesium L-threonate, it reaches brain cells more effectively than other forms of magnesium.
Magnesium aspartate
When magnesium and aspartic acid are combined, it forms magnesium aspartate. Aspartic acid is a non-essential amino acid, meaning it can be produced in the body. It’s involved in the synthesis of the essential amino acids methionine, threonine, isoleucine, and lysine, which play a role in metabolism, the nervous system, the cardiovascular system, and the immune system. Combining magnesium and aspartic acid increases magnesium’s bioavailability, making it more easily absorbed and utilized by the body.
