Description
Swanson Triple Magnesium Complex is a valuable supplemental source of magnesium for a strong, healthy body. Unfortunately, it is estimated that up to 60% of Americans consume less than the recommended amount of this essential mineral. It is naturally found in foods such as legumes and leafy greens. Even with the best-intentioned healthy diet however, upwards of 80% of the magnesium normally found in food is lost through processing.* A high-quality magnesium supplement can help bridge this gap.
One of the most essential minerals in the diet, magnesium transports calcium and activates vitamin D, important factors in the strength and health of your bones and muscles. Magnesium offers cardiovascular support through its role in the healthy function of heart and vascular cells, and by promoting healthy blood pressure levels. Emerging science shows it may also support digestive health. Magnesium increases levels of GABA, a neurotransmitter that helps to calm a restless mind. It also soothes muscle fibers to promote physical relaxation. Adequate magnesium intake has also been associated with cognitive support, particularly learning and memory—important components of healthy aging—as well as the ability to promote a positive mental outlook. Magnesium has long been popular for its soothing properties. Studies now suggest a link between magnesium and stress. Intakes of 300-500 mg per day may help promote healthy levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, by influencing the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.

Ensuring that you get enough magnesium in your diet can be the difference maker you need not only for mind and body relaxation to get the restorative sleep your body craves, but also for energy, relief from daily stressors and feelings of anxiousness. It is needed for hundreds of critical functions throughout the body such as the utilization of insulin and glucose, normal heart rhythm and nervous system function, and the synthesis of DNA, RNA and protein.
Swanson Triple Magnesium Complex delivers 400 mg of magnesium per serving—nearly a full day’s supply of this vital mineral. It is provided in three distinct sources for an array of benefits and optimal absorption: magnesium citrate offers superior bioavailability while magnesium oxide promotes healthy digestive function and magnesium glycinate encourages sleep and relaxation.
