Magnesium & Magnesium Aspartate/Citrate

mineral

tablet/bulk powder

  • The Heart's Most Important Mineral

Magnesium is needed for efficient production of more than 300 enzymes, yet 80 percent of all Americans are deficient. It is also involved in protein metabolism, utilization of fats and carbohydrates and is necessary for proper nerve and brain function, maintaining healthy teeth, gums, and muscle growth and strength.

With regular supplement use:

  • irregular heart rhythms become more stable.1
  • high blood pressure improves.2
  • body keeps a better balance of potassium, another important cardiovascular mineral.
  • the heart pumps a larger volume of blood with no extra demand for oxygen.3
  • constricted blood vessels relax, allowing blood to flow freely.
  • chest pains of angina pectoris strike less often.
  • blood becomes less likely to form artery-blocking clots, by not allowing platelets to clump together.4
  • HDL cholesterol rises and LDL cholesterol falls.5

Supplements allow people with Type II diabetes to regulate blood sugar more easily. As a result, the need for oral diabetes drugs usually diminishes and could disappear altogether.6 People susceptible to bouts of hypoglycemia, too, can stabilize the roller-coaster rise and fall of their blood sugar.

In controlling high blood pressure, Magnesium works like a natural calcium channel blocker, a standard antihypertension drug, but without ill effect.7 Some 60 percent of all hypertension-related complications could be avoided if pregnant women were to take Magnesium.8

Counteracts fatigue in mitral valve prolapse and resupplies Magnesium to correct blood sugar.

Consistently effective for migraine headaches, premunstrual tension, chronic lung disorders (asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, etc.) Great on-the-spot treatment and when given intravenously, it stops an asthma attack cold.9

For preventing and perhaps reversing osteoporosis, Magnesium might be more important than Calcium. Without it, and other trace minerals, any additional Calcium we ingesr will be deposited not around our bones, but elsewhere.

Besides encouranging a more restful sleep, it also works against bruxism (an involuntary grinding of the teeth while asleep). Its wide range of actions helps against chemical sensitivities, bacterial and viral infections, leg cramps, kidney stones, and intermittent claudication (an impairment in blood flow to the legs that causes pain upon exertion.)
