What is Magnesium & what does it do? Magnesium is anessential mineral that accounts for about 0.05% of the bodys total weight. Nearly 70% of the bodys supply is located in the bones, together with calciumand phosphorus, while 30% is found in cellular fluids & some soft tissue. Some 30%-40% of ingested dietary magnesium is absorbed, while the rest is excreted inthe faeces. Magnesium is involved in many essential metabolic processes, including therelease of energy from glucose, synthesis of protein & nucleic acids, theformation of urea, vascular tone, muscle impulse transmission, electricalstability of the cells, neurotransmission & activity. Most is found inside thecell, where it activates enzymes necessary for the metabolism of carbohydratesand amino acids. It also regulates the acid/alkali balance in the body. Magnesium helps promote the absorption & metabolism of other minerals, suchas calcium, phosphorus, sodium & potassium. It also helps utilise the Bcomplex vitamins, vitamin C & vitamin E in the body. It aids in bone growthand is necessary for proper functioning of muscles. Best Natural Sources Magnesium is widely distributed infoods, being found chiefly in fresh, green vegetables. Other excellent sourcesinclude raw, unmilled wheat germ, soya beans, milk, whole grains, seafoods, figs, corn, apples & oil-rich seeds & nuts, especially almonds. Fish, garlic, tofu, peaches, apricots & lima beans are also good sources. Absorption & Storage Magnesium is absorbed in the smallintestine. The rate of absorption is influenced by the parathyroid hormones, therate of water absorption & the amounts of calcium, phosphorus & lactose inthe body. Both magnesium & calcium compete for the same absorption sites. Absorption may be inhibited by phytates (vegetable fibre), too many fats, codliver oil or protein. Foods high in oxalic acid inhibit absorption. Vitamin D isnecessary for the proper utilisation of magnesium. When the intake of magnesiumis low, the rate of absorption may be as high as 75%; when the intake is high, the rate of absorption may be as low as 25%. Losses tend to increase with theuse of diuretics & the consumption of alcohol. Food sources of magnesium are far better absorbed than inorganicsources. RDA The RDA for magnesium is 375mg. Evidencesuggests that the balance between calcium & magnesium is especially important. If calcium consumption is high, magnesium intake needs to be high also, or adeficiency will result. The amount of protein, phosphorous & vitamin D in thediet also influences the magnesium requirement. The need for magnesium isincreased when blood cholesterol levels are high & when consumption of proteinis high. We offer 3 types of Magnesium: - Food State Magnesium - Biofood Magnesium & - Magnesium Citrate. Both Food State Magnesium & Biofood Magnesium are effectively organicmatrix forms of magnesium, complete with natural amino acid carriers to ensuretransport to sites of need within the body. Food State Magnesium is 40mg potencywhereas Biofood Magnesium is 100mg potency & combined in a probiotic culture. Both of these products are rapidly absorbed into the blood stream & the aminoacid carriers ensure the mineral can cross the cell wall to raise tissue levelstoo. Magnesium Citrate is the best of the non-food form forms of magnesium. As acitrate it is readily absorbed into the bloodstream via the citric acidcycle. * Beneficially combined in a base of lactobacillus bulgaricus. This probiotic species is a native inhabitant of the human GItract.

Magnesium is important for many physiological functions, metabolism of carbohydrates & energy production. The magnesium content of refined foods is usually low. Water can provide magnesium, but the amount varies according to the water supply. Green vegetables such as spinach & cabbage provide magnesium because the centre of the chlorophyll molecule contains it. Nuts, seeds, & some whole grains are also good sources, but although magnesium is present in many foods, it usually occurs in small amounts, & daily needs can only be met by eating a wide variety of foods.
