Product Description
NOW Foods Magnesium 400 mg Veg Capsules provide a high-potency daily magnesium formula designed to support energy production, enzyme function, muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and bone mineralization. Each vegetarian capsule delivers 400 mg of elemental magnesium from magnesium oxide, magnesium citrate, and magnesium aspartate.
Magnesium is an essential mineral required as a cofactor for hundreds of enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis, protein synthesis, glucose metabolism, and overall cellular energy production. Magnesium status is also important for calcium balance through its effects on the parathyroid gland. This formula is ideal for adults seeking nervous system support, muscle and bone support, and daily mineral replenishment in a vegan, Non-GMO, halal, kosher, soy free, dairy free, egg free, nut free, and made-without-gluten supplement.
