Magnesium - Factors that Enhance

Introduction

This section outlines the substances and factors that enhance the absorption or function of Magnesium.

Acids

 Hydrochloric Acid may increase the body's absorption of Magnesium.  ^[1]

Amino Acids

 Aspartic Acid is one of the preferred Amino Acids for chelation with supplemental Magnesium.

 Glycine is one of the preferred Amino Acids for chelation with supplemental Magnesium.

 Taurine may facilitate the transport of Magnesium into and out of the body's Cells. 

Carbohydrates

 Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) may increase the absorption of Magnesium by up to 12%.  ^[2]

 Lactulose may enhance the absorption of Magnesium.  ^[3]

Hormones

 Insulin is an important regulatory factor of intracellular Magnesium levels. 

 Parathyroid Hormone is involved in the regulation of the body's Magnesium levels.  ^[4]
