Clinical Benefits:
- Support musculoskeletal health: Inadequate intakes of magnesium are understood to be a common occurrence in children 9 years and over. This is especially pertinent given the rapid growth and development that occurs during childhood, such as within the musculoskeletal system. Approximately 60% of the body’s magnesium is found in the skeleton, with approximately 27% in muscle tissue. Therefore, magnesium supplementation is important for growing children to help support healthy muscle function.
- Energy and nervous system support: Growing children can experience high physical demands, as well as emotional stressors. Both physical and emotional stress can increase the requirements for magnesium and contribute to symptoms such as lethargy, anxiety, insomnia and irritability. Developmental processes during childhood also create a demand on energy requirements. Magnesium is important for energy production as it plays a role in energy metabolism and mitochondrial activity.
- Meta Mag® is a unique chelated form of magnesium. Meta Mag® is composed of a magnesium molecule covalently bound to two glycine molecules. This exclusive form of magnesium has demonstrated superior bioavailability due to its ability to traverse challenging forces in the digestive system.
