Product Overview

GO Thyme Magnesium includes three forms of highly absorbed magnesium for a variety of protocols.

Magnesium is an essential mineral that acts as a cofactor in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. Adequate magnesium levels are essential for bone, cardiovascular, neurological, and muscular health. While you can obtain magnesium from dietary sources such as green leafy vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds, and whole grains, many Americans don't consume adequate amounts of magnesium-rich foods. Other factors that can lower magnesium levels in the body include excess consumption of alcohol or coffee, poor absorption within the gastrointestinal tract, poorly-controlled diabetes, and diuretic therapy. Deficiency of magnesium has been connected to an increase in urinary calcium and high stress levels. Because of widespread nature of magnesium deficiencies, adequate daily intake of magnesium is critical for proper hydration, stress response, muscle relaxation, promoting healthy blood pressure levels, optimal bone mineral density, and blood sugar regulation.

GO Thyme Magnesium provides three unique forms of highly-absorbed magnesium to ensure maximum absorption of this important macromineral. Most magnesium supplements use only a single source of magnesium, which can easily overwhelm a single pathway of absorption and limit uptake. GO Thyme Magnesium takes advantage of three unique pathways of absorption by providing magnesium as di-magnesium malate, magnesium citrate and magnesium glycinate for enhanced absorption, improved utilization and gastrointestinal (GI) comfort. Some individuals, who take other forms of magnesium supplements, often experience GI side effects, including gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation or a combination of these symptoms. The forms of magnesium used in GO Thyme Magnesium preserve GI comfort while maximizing absorption and restoring magnesium levels in the body.

Why GO Thyme Magnesium?

Bioavailability - The Mineral Chelate Difference: The importance of bioavailability is obvious. If consuming a magnesium supplement has little effect on improving the body's magnesium balance, there is no reason to ingest it. Signs of inferior mineral supplements include the use of cheap, poorly absorbed, rock-salt minerals like calcium carbonate and magnesium oxide. These mineral forms slow and limit absorption, relying on adequate stomach acid to release magnesium ions which then enter the body via passive diffusion. And, because they tend to remain in the intestines longer, these forms of mineral supplements can cause intestinal distress such as constipation (calcium carbonate) or diarrhea (magnesium oxide).

GO Thyme Magnesium provides the additional benefit of highly-absorbed, Albion® mineral chelates. Albion® is the world leader in manufacturing highly bioavailable mineral chelates, a specialized form of minerals bound to amino acids. This patented process creates organic mineral compounds which use active absorption mechanisms in the gastrointestinal tract to greatly enhance mineral absorption. In a magnesium comparison study reported by Graff et al. at Weber State University, Albion®'s magnesium amino acid chelate had:

• 8.8 times greater absorption than magnesium oxide
• 5.6 times greater absorption than magnesium sulfate
• 2.3 times greater absorption than magnesium carbonate

In addition, other comparison studies have shown significantly superior absorption of magnesium chelates compared to other mineral forms.
