“Magnesium is truly thesilent guardian of your heart, blood vessels, cells and body“ Mildred S.Seeling, M.D , MPHMg24.3050 12MagnesiumMAGNESIUMThe Forgotten MineralMagnesium is often overlooked in favour of other mineralsand hence often dubbed ‘the forgotten mineral’. However, thisoversight can have dire health consequences. Magnesium isa macro-mineral, present in every cell type in the body andcritical in more than 300 functions on a cellular level.According to a National Institute of Health, “Magnesium helpsmaintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heartrhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keepsbones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugarlevels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to beinvolved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis.” It’s trulythe MINERAL OF LIFE AND ENERGY!

So, if magnesium is so important,why are so many not getting enough?Research suggests that many of us are falling short of meetingeven the bare minimum magnesium requirements1. The majorculprits that contribute to this include poor diets, pharmaceuti-cal drug-use and nutrient depleted growing soils. Specifically,the factors behind the widespread magnesium deficit include: • stress • high alcohol intake • certain medications (antibiotics, diuretics, birth control pills) • diets high in fat, sugar, sodium and protein • health conditions such as blood sugar and kidney disorders • pregnancy, lactation, pre- and post menopause Magnesium deficiencySome of the symptoms of magnesium deficiency include agitation,anxiety, muscle cramps, insomnia, irritability, poor memoryand fatigue. Magnesium deficiency is linked to many seriousconditions. In fact, a growing body of research shows that peoplesuffering from major depression2, ADHD3, cardiovascular conditions4,PMS5 or migraine6 are often low in magnesium and that increasedmagnesium intake can be beneficial to these individuals.What can you do to ensure you & yourfamily are getting enough magnesium?Firstly, eat a balanced diet that includes food rich in magnesiumsuch as leafy green vegetables, nuts and seeds. Secondly,eliminate or reduce alcohol consumption, white sugar, friedfood and salt. These foods either deplete magnesium from yourbody or provide such low levels to be of any nutritional value.FINALLY, take Mag3plus™!

It is the measure or amount of an ingested nutrient that is absorbed and made available to the body for metabolic use.
