Magnesium Citrate

Magnesium is a mineral needed by every cell. It activates at least 350 different enzymes in the body, more than any other mineral, so it is crucial for many of the metabolic functions in the body. Low magnesium levels can cause metabolic functions to decrease, resulting in stress on the body and reducing the body’s ability to absorb and retain magnesium. Magnesium is well known for its ability to help maintain normal muscle and nerve function, heart rhythm, energy production and storage as well as strong bones and teeth. Magnesium supports a calm state and assists with calcium and potassium uptake. It also aids in maintaining the body’s proper pH balance, blood pressure and normal body temperature.

Magnesium and nerve function
• Magnesium is known to regulate or inhibit many nerve
receptors.
• Without enough magnesium, nerves fire too easily from even
minor stimuli which can create a sensitivite to pain especially
in people with a low threshold.
• Magnesium appears to also affect the nervous system by
regulating the release of hormones.


Magnesium and muscle function
• Adequate magnesium is necessary for proper muscle
functioning.
• Magnesium deficiency promotes excessive muscle tension
which can lead to muscle spasms and restlessness.
• Supports the relaxation of both voluntary and involuntary
muscle tissue.


Absorption and mineral transporters (aspartates & citrates)
• Absorption of minerals is a major problem. All nutrients
reaching the upper G.I. tract are not absorbed uniformly or
adequately. Increasing and improving absorption is vital to
good health.
• To improve absorption of inorganic minerals, they must be
bound to organic substances such as citric acid or aspartic
acid. This is known as a chelated mineral. What’s important
about a chelating agent is its ability to form a complete ring
around the mineral ion.
• Citric acid is a chelating agent that improves the absorption
of minerals but does not form a complete ring.
