Amino-Mag 200™, provided by Douglas Laboratories®,
is a patented, nutritionally functional magnesium amino acid chelate with
excellent bioavailability. Each tablet delivers 200 mg of elemental magnesium as
a bisglycinate/lysinate chelate. Magnesium plays an essential role in a wide range
of funda-mental cellular reactions. More than 300 enzymes require magnesium as a
cofactor. Complexed with ATP, the main carrier of metabolic energy in the body,
magnesium is essential for all biosynthetic processes, glycolysis, formation of
c- AMP, energy-dependent membrane transport, transmission of genetic code for
protein synthesis, and muscle function. Of the 20-30 grams of total body
magnesium, about 40% is located in muscle and other soft tissues, and the
remainder in bone. The concentration of intracellular magnesium is carefully
regulated, and its alterations can have profound effects on cardiac and skeletal
muscle physiology. Healthy people require about 4.5 mg of dietary magnesium per
kg body weight, or 280 mg for a 62 kg female and 350 mg for a 76 kg male. The
U.S. RDA is 400 mg/day. The efficiency of magnesium absorption is a function of
dietary intake. At very low intakes (less than 40 mg) 65-70% of dietary
magnesium is absorbed, whereas at high intakes (1,000 mg) less than 15% is
absorbed. Most people are expected to absorb about 30-60% at common levels of
dietary magnesium. Contrary to common belief, recent studies suggest that
magnesium absorption is not affected by calcium or vitamin D, and vice-versa.
The kidney plays a critical role in magnesium homeostasis. At average magnesium
intakes, the kidneys reabsorb about 95% of the filtered magnesium. Douglas
Laboratories’ glycine/lysine chelate used in Amino-Mag 200 is a well absorbed
and highly tolerated form of magnesium. Amino-Mag 200 may be a useful nutritional adjunct
for individuals who wish to increase their dietary intake of magnesium. One to two tablets daily as a dietary supplement,
or as directed by a physician. Take with food. No adverse effects have been reported. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct
light. Keep out of reach of children. Abbott L, Nadler J, Rude RK. Magnesium deficiency in
