Mg Plus Guard 180 Vegetable Capsules

MgPlus Guard by Perque delivers magnesium as ionized glyconate, ascorbate, citrate and C16 and C18 alkyls.

Although you may have other options for your magnesium supplementation needs, only Magnesium Plus Guard by Perque offers a combination of four transport cofactors. Each cofactor first transports magnesium to the cells that need it, and then adds a boost of energy when taking its place as an activator in the energy production pathway.

Why Supplement with Magnesium?

A survey by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Dietary Survey shows that more than 80 percent of Americans are deficient in the mineral magnesium. Since we know that magnesium deficiency can be caused or exacerbated by chronic stress and acid-producing foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, alcohol, processed foods and refined sugars, this news should not be very surprising. The standard American diet is one that depletes the body’s stores of magnesium. 

Magnesium is a buffering mineral that the body uses to neutralize acids. Since the standard Western diet is so high in acidic foods and low in magnesium-rich foods, most Americans need to supplement their diet with a good magnesium source, such as Perque Magnesium Plus Guard. This mineral supplement delivers magnesium in completely soluble, fully ionized alkaline salts, which are ready to get into action, buffering the body against the damaging effects of excess acidity.

Some studies have shown that supplementing with magnesium may be even more effective at preventing and treating osteoporosis than even calcium. This is because magnesium plays a vital role in balancing the body’s supply of calcium, keeping it from being excreted to balance blood pH. In addition, magnesium supports the absorption of vitamin D3 within the body. Vitamin D is vital to calcium absorption and overall bone health.

Why Magnesium Plus Guard?

Magnesium Plus Guard by Perque only contains pharmaceutical-grade ingredients or better, which are vital for keeping the bones dense with minerals. The key to increasing your body’s magnesium store is in proper absorption. A supplement is deemed useless, if your body can’t absorb an adequate amount of the mineral. As it is, most people can only absorb 4 to 30 percent of magnesium supplements on the market. This is because they usually contain the oxide or chloride forms of magnesium, which are innately difficult to absorb. The absorption rates vary so much because different people absorb magnesium differently. If you decide to take Perque’s Magnesium Plus Guard,  you will be supplying your body with four of the most highly-available forms of magnesium, giving your body the best chance for absorption.

If you are severely deficient in magnesium, magnesium supplements alone may not be enough to eliminate symptoms. In these cases, Perque recommends that you take its Choline Citrate product along with your magnesium supplement. Choline citrate has been found ot help carry magnesium through cell membranes, further increasing absorption.
