01

Why supplement?

✓

Magnesium Arginate

Magnesium arginate's ligand is arginine. Magnesium handles enzymes and relaxation; the arginine amount rarely reaches doses used in sports nitric-oxide trials. The label goes by elemental magnesium.

✓

ATP and neuromuscular function

Magnesium arginate is a source of magnesium. Magnesium stabilizes ATP phosphate groups and helps muscles relax. This salt supplies elemental magnesium; oxide and organic salts differ sharply in absorption and laxative effect.

How to take it

With foodTaking with food may improve stomach tolerance
Best timeMorning or midday; if it helps sleep or relaxation, you may switch to after dinner through bedtime

Do not treat the product's total weight as the arginine or elemental magnesium dose.

General wellnessUse the labeled elemental magnesium; a typical starting point is 100–200 mg elemental magnesium per day.
Specific needsFrom supplements, the typical adult daily safety upper limit is about 350 mg elemental magnesium; sleep or muscle goals often use 200–350 mg, and do not exceed this on your own long term.

How oftenUse according to daily needs; have blood-pressure or medicine issues reviewed by a professional first.
