Magnesium is necessary for maintaining proper nerve and muscle function through its regulation of calcium, creating cellular energy in the mitochondria, and acting as a cofactor to build DNA, RNA, and many proteins. Despite its vast importance, it is commonly deficient in the Canadian population due to poor diet, medication depletions, and stress. Suboptimal magnesium levels can also create a proinflammatory state within the body. Cyto-Matrix’s Magnesium Threonate offers 667mg of pure magnesium L-threonate complex per capsule, including 50mg of elemental magnesium. 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, magnesium L-threonate is formed. Each bottle contains 120 vegetarian capsules.
