Albion launches powdered drink applications for sports nutrition beverages in high-growth magnesium market

Published: 13-Oct-2015

Magnesium is critical to more than 300 functions in the body, including heart rhythm, blood pressure, sleep, energy production and muscle health


Albion Human Nutrition, premier manufacturer of patented organic mineral amino acid chelates, has announced the launch of two magnesium applications.

Magnesium is critical to more than 300 functions in the body, including heart rhythm, blood pressure, sleep, energy production and muscle health. Showcasing the use of chelated magnesium in a beverage, Albion recently distributed samples of two applications for magnesium at SupplySide West: an optimal energy MLG (Magnesium Lysinate Glycinate) powdered drink, and a sports recovery MGG (Magnesium Glycinate Glutamine) powdered drink, both targeted at the high-growth magnesium sports nutrition market.

Albion’s MLG chelate binds magnesium with lysine, an essential amino acid that is a building block for all protein. Together, magnesium and lysine support magnesium absorption and aid muscle recovery.

Albion’s MGG chelate binds magnesium to both glycine and glutamine, enhancing molecule stability and nutritional functionality. Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in the body and helps support optimal recovery when the body undergoes physical stresses and challenges.

Both ingredients have other excellent applications, including capsules, tablets, foods and other beverages.

Through decades of research, the acquisition of 150 patents and results from more than 70 human clinical trials, Albion has created its unique, six-stage process for building chelated minerals that are not only more effective but also safer, easier to absorb and gentle on the stomach.

Albion TRAACS (The Real Amino Acid Chelate System) mineral ingredients have been thoroughly validated through Albion’s patented method for testing that each batch of minerals has the molecular structure of a fully reacted, true chelate. Albion TRAACS minerals are

  • nutritionally functional
  • easily digested
  • well absorbed in the body
  • scientifically and clinically proven to be safe, predictable and effective
  • soluble and stable in acidic environments
  • hypoallergenic, Kosher, Halal and vegetarian with no GMOs
  • gluten- and BSE-free
  • EFSA-approved forms.
