For those of you, like me, who love to know the “why” behind your supplements, here are some of the studies I have reviewed in creating and selecting this Magnesium Glycinate Supplement.  The estimates that over 50% of the US population is magnesium deficient is likely not that far off from our Canadian population.

There are many other great studies on the benefits of magnesium that aren’t listed here, but I will add to this list as new ones are published.
