Why supplement?

✓

Chloride

Magnesium chloride is a chloride salt with high water solubility, common in liquids and sports electrolytes. The use is to supply magnesium ions; chloride itself also has a role in stomach acid and fluid balance.

ATP and neuromuscular function

Magnesium chloride 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.
