Magnesium AA Chelate
Magnesium AA Chelate is a form of magnesium that is bound to the amino acid, aspartic acid. Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a vital role in many bodily functions, including muscle and nerve function, heart rhythm, and bone health.
According to a review article published in PMC, magnesium acts as a natural calcium channel blocker, increases nitric oxide, improves endothelial dysfunction, and induces direct and indirect vasodilation. Magnesium AA Chelate has been shown to have several benefits, including improving sleep quality, reducing muscle cramps, and supporting heart health.
A study published in PMC evaluated the effects of 16 weeks of low-dose magnesium creatine chelate supplementation on repeated sprint ability (RAST) in elite soccer players. The results showed that magnesium creatine chelate supplementation improved RAST performance in elite soccer players.
The recommended dosage of magnesium AA chelate varies depending on age, sex, and health status. According to WebMD, the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for magnesium is 400-420 mg for men and 310-320 mg for women. Magnesium AA Chelate is generally safe when taken in appropriate doses. However, high doses may cause digestive issues such as diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and nausea.
