Product Notes:
Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays many roles in our bodies; it helps: metabolize carbohydrates, proteins, and fats; produce energy; regulate calcium balance; develop and maintain bones and teeth; form tissues; contract and relax muscles; and calm mood, among other things.
As a leading magnesium researcher notes in this video, most of us are not getting enough in our diets (even though North Americans are eating more food in general), largely because so much of our food is processed, these days, and we also need more of it as our weight increases. And if we run a deficit between what we take in and excrete (in various ways), that gets withdrawn from the cells of our muscles, bones, and blood vessels, which can be dangerous.
Of course, magnesium comes in several different forms, as a supplement. This form, Magnesium Oxide, is perhaps most widely used to relieve constipation, as it has a laxative effect.
Recent research indicates it may also have a protective effect against calcium buildup in the arteries among those with chronic kidney disease.
