Element #12 on the Periodic Table, Magnesium (Mg) is an alkaline, silvery-white metal with a hexagonal closely-packed crystalline structure. Mineralife professional grade liquid Ionic Magnesium concentrate is a dietary supplement containing elemental Magnesium. Mineralife “energy enhanced” minerals are meticulously prepared from a 99.99% pure elemental source developed to efficiently deliver the smallest units of mineral that exist – Ions. They are Angstrom sized, water soluble and completely absorbable with far greater absorption than pills or capsules, which must first dissolve in the stomach and digestive system. The purer the water the more efficiently minerals are activated into their electrically charged ionic state. Mineralife uses patent pending QFE ™ water, a multi-step purified energy enhanced water.
MAGNESIUM is the seventh most abundant mineral in the earth's crust and may be one of the most important nutrients for humans. American researchers have found that more than 78% of US adults are failing to meet the RDA for magnesium. Even more frightening are data from this study showing that 19% of Americans do not consume even half of the government’s recommended daily intake of magnesium.
It is an essential nutrient that is required for many biologic functions, including over 300 enzymatic reactions. One of magnesium's most important functions is in maintaining the function of the nervous system and neuromuscular transmission.
50-60% of the magnesium in the body resides in bone. Magnesium works closely with calcium to help promote healthy bones.
Evidence suggests that magnesium may play an important role in regulating blood pressure. Magnesium deficiency can cause metabolic changes that may contribute to heart attacks and strokes. There is also evidence that low body stores of magnesium increase the risk of abnormal heart rhythms, which may increase the risk of complications associated with a heart attack. Population surveys have associated higher blood levels of magnesium with lower risk of coronary heart disease.
More Benefits
• Magnesium is a natural tranquilizer. Called the “anti-stress mineral” it aids in relaxing nerves, relieving tension, assisting digestion, activates enzymes important for protein and carbohydrate metabolism, and modulates the electrical potential across all cell membranes.
• Magnesium is important in the production and transfer of energy, muscle contraction and relaxation, and nerve conduction.
• It also aids regularity, is necessary to keep vertebrae in their proper position, induces restful sleep, purifies and purges body tissues (combats acids, toxins, gases, impurities, and neutralizes poisons), and may lower fever.
• May lower risk of coronary heart disease and high blood pressure.
• Magnesium is stored in the bowel, nerves and ligaments.
Some possible symptoms of a magnesium deficiency:
Asthma, Malignant calcification of tissue, Anorexia, Migraines, Cramps, Muscular weakness, Convulsions, Muscle tremors and spasms, Calcification of organs, Muscle tics, Calcification of small arteries, Myocardial infarction, Depression, Neuromuscular problems, ECG changes, PMS, Growth failure, Vertigo, Headaches, Wrinkles, Kidney stones, coronary heart disease and high blood pressure.
Natural sources:
Nuts, whole grains, unpolished rice, wheat germ, green vegetables.
