PURICA Effervescent Magnesium Glycine
Magnesium is truly a miraculous mineral and essential to our well being. Yet Health Canada reports that over 42 per cent of Canadians are deficient in this mineral. Calcium directly opposes magnesium within the body and a high intake of calcium — relative to magnesium — can throw off the delicate balance. PURICA® Effervescent Magnesium Glycine is a delicious drink that will ensure you obtain the optimum daily dose of this vital mineral. Available in two flavours: raspberry and lemon-lime.
Magnesium bisglycinate is a highly bioavailable form of magnesium chelated with glycine, an amino acid. It offers several benefits, particularly for those with magnesium deficiency or specific health concerns. Here are its key benefits:
1. High Absorption & Gentle on Stomach
Unlike other forms (e.g., magnesium oxide), bisglycinate is well-absorbed in the intestines and less likely to cause diarrhea or digestive upset.
Ideal for people with sensitive stomachs or those prone to laxative effects from other magnesium types.
2. Supports Relaxation & Sleep
Magnesium helps regulate GABA, a calming neurotransmitter.
Glycine (the attached amino acid) also promotes relaxation and improves sleep quality.
Beneficial for insomnia, anxiety, and stress relief.
3. Muscle & Nerve Function
Helps prevent muscle cramps, spasms, and restless legs syndrome (RLS).
Supports proper nerve transmission and muscle relaxation.
4. Bone Health
Magnesium is essential for calcium absorption and bone density.
May reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
5. Heart Health
Supports normal blood pressure and heart rhythm.
May help reduce palpitations and cardiovascular stress.
6. Mood & Cognitive Support
Low magnesium levels are linked to depression and anxiety.
May improve brain function and emotional balance.
7. Blood Sugar Regulation
Enhances insulin sensitivity, beneficial for type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome.
8. Reduced Migraine Frequency
Some studies suggest magnesium supplementation can help prevent migraines.
Who Should Take It?
People with magnesium deficiency (common in those with high stress, poor diet, or digestive issues).
