Product Details
Magnesium is an abundant mineral in the body that is necessary for many organs and tissues to function properly.
Eighty percent of Canadians are deficient in this important mineral.
Cardiovascular Disease
Epidemiologic studies have linked low magnesium and the increased frequency of heart disease and cardiovascular deaths. High blood pressure is associated with low magnesium levels and simply adding magnesium will aid normalization of blood pressure, especially in women.
Behavioural Problems
Magnesium deficiency occurs more frequently in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) than in healthy children. Studies show that magnesium supplementation reduces ADHD symptoms in children. While no cure for autism is known, magnesium and B6 supplementation has led to remarkable improvement in many cases. MagsmartTM contains this combination.
Diabetes/Metabolic Syndrome
Magnesium plays a major role in the action of insulin.
Magnesium supplements improve insulin response and glucose tolerance.
Chronic Fatigue
Studies have shown that up to 91 percent of 3,000 patients with chronic fatigue improved with magnesium and potassium supplementation.
The beneficial effects were often seen after only four to five days of treatment.
Headaches/Migraine
Headaches due to muscle tension are associated with low magnesium.
Muscular Complaints
All muscles need magnesium to relax.
A deficiency in magnesium increases muscle tension, muscle cramps, tics, restless leg syndrome, night muscle spasms and twitches.
Osteoporosis
Research indicates that magnesium is as important as calcium in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.
Magnesium affects mineral metabolism in bone by a combination of effects on hormones and other factors that regulate bone health.
Magnesium improves the action of cells that build bone and reduces the action of cells that break down bone.
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
Several studies show magnesium is essential for the management of PMS (weight gain, swelling, breast tenderness, and abdominal bloating) and PMS-related mood changes.
Which Magnesium Is Best?
Magnesium supplements are available in numerous salt forms as well as amino acid chelates. Magnesium oxide and citrates can cause diarrhea and are poorly absorbed. The magnesium in MAGsmart is bound to the amino acid glycinate.
This makes the magnesium better absorbed and it does not cause diarrhea. MAGsmartTM also contains B vitamins, taurine and other important nutrients for overall health.
