It also maintains and regulates vascular tone‚ acts as a catalyst in thousands of enzymatic processes‚ helps prevent calcification of soft tissue‚ and is critical to proper bone formation.

To optimize absorption‚ this formula that was designed to combine magnesium with the amino acid glycine‚ forming a highly bioavailable and well-tolerated compound. Some people have trouble taking magnesium because it can be harsh on the stomach; this formula eases the worry for even the most sensitive people.

What is Magnesium?

Magnesium is an essential mineral for your overall health – actually‚ it is the fourth most abundant mineral found in the body. You’ll find about half of the body’s total magnesium levels stored in the bone. The other half is distributed amongst the many cells‚ tissues and organs of the body. Although you’ll find only about one percent of the body’s total magnesium store in the blood‚ magnesium’s role in the blood is very important – and the body works very hard to keep it there. Green vegetables and spinach are great sources of magnesium‚ but if you don’t get enough of these healthy vegetables in your diet‚ you may need to supplement with magnesium capsules like these. The magnesium you consume is absorbed through the intestines and excreted through the kidneys.

Symptoms of a Magnesium Deficiency

Most dietary surveys indicate that Americans on average do not get enough magnesium in their diets. If the body doesn’t have enough magnesium stored‚ it may be exposed to cardiovascular disease or immune system dysfunction.

In a healthy individual‚ about one-third or one-half of the magnesium consumed is actually absorbed into the body. This number declines significantly if you have a gastrointestinal disorder that impairs absorption‚ such as Crohn’s disease. Chronic or excessive diarrhea or vomiting may also cause a magnesium deficiency‚ as can certain medications‚ diabetes‚ or excessive alcohol intake. If the kidneys aren’t functioning properly‚ they cannot be expected to secrete adequate amounts of magnesium.

When your body’s magnesium levels first start dropping‚ you might experience nausea‚ fatigue‚ vomiting‚ weakness or loss of appetite. If the deficiency goes unchecked‚ you may experience muscle contractions and cramps‚ numbness‚ tingling‚ mood swings‚ or worse. If this isn’t treated‚ you may also experience a calcium deficiency. It is important to note that these symptoms alone cannot be used to identify a magnesium deficiency; if you think you may be deficient‚ contact your healthcare practitioner for a blood test.
