Magnesium Glycinate
Well-tolerated, glycine-bound form.
Magnesium helps convert carbohydrates, protein, and fats to energy, acts as a catalyst in thousands of enzymatic processes, regulates and maintains vascular tone, helps prevent calcification of soft tissue, and is critical to proper bone formation. It regulates calcium and potassium metabolism, facilitates muscle constriction and relaxation, and assists in nerve transmission and conduction. For optimal absorption, this patented formulation uses magnesium and the amino acid glycine to create a compound that is highly bioavailable and well tolerated by even the most sensitive individuals.
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement take one capsule one to three times daily or as directed by a physician.

L-Leucine
Leucine or L leucine is an essential amino acid, which means the body cannot manufacture it and it must be ingested through dietary protein. Along with other essential amino acids, leucine helps maintain muscle mass -- which has made leucine-containing supplements a favorite of bodybuilders and athletes.
A diet rich in the amino acid leucine might help prevent the muscle loss that typically comes with aging.
L-Leucine Benefits
L-Leucine has many beneficial effects on sports performance.
It helps preserve lean muscle tissue
it supplies the body with energy when under stress
it preserves muscle glycogen (glucose stored in muscle issue used to power muscular contraction)
it maintains nitrogen balance, and it enhances thinking abilities that can decline as physical activity becomes more intense. .
