Magnesium is known variously as a mineral, an element, a metal, or a micronutrient. It is one of the most abundant minerals on earth.

Magnesium is an essential mineral to human and plant life and your body cannot function without it! Unfortunately, magnesium deficiency is fairly common. 

About 30% of humans do not consume enough magnesium daily. 

The human body is made of about 35 trillion cells. 

Most of the metabolism that we know of happens within the cell. 

Magnesium is the second most abundant element within each cell in your body.

Hundreds of enzymes in your body depend entirely on magnesium as a catalyst so they can do their job—

• making new proteins
• enabling muscle and nerve function
• building bones and muscles
• regulating blood pressure and heart function
• managing blood sugar
• building key energy sources for your body

Even the genetic material(DNA) that makes you the unique individual you are and controls everything about you cannot do its job without magnesium. 

There is no way you can survive without magnesium.

Now you understand why magnesium deficiency can lead to serious health problems?

According to HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL daily intake recommendations,

• Men, ages 19 to 30: about 400 mg
• Men, ages 31 and older: about 420 mg. 
• Women ages 19 to 30: about 310 mg 
• Women ages 31 and older: about 320 mg

Exceeding the maximum advised amount of magnesium consumption(over 500mg per day) may be dangerous to your health? AVOID the “MEGAs”!

It is frequently used in hospitals to treat high blood pressure complications such as preeclampsia, and eclampsia associated with pregnancy, and to regulate certain abnormal heart rhythms. 

Various magnesium salts are used effectively as laxatives and antacids. 

Most people with abnormally low amounts of magnesium in their bodies do not show symptoms. However, eventually they may begin to develop insomnia(problems falling or staying asleep), generalized weakness, high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, weakening of the bones(osteoporosis), certain heart rhythm problems, and abnormal muscle twitching.

It may come as a surprise to you that MOST AMERICANS consume LESS THAN the recommended daily allowance for magnesium!

Some people lose magnesium from kidney or bowel problems. Certain drugs for stomach acid or reflux can cause a decrease in the amount of available  magnesium in your blood. Chronic alcohol abusers are prone to magnesium deficiency. People with diabetes, cancer, intestinal problems such as Crohn’s disease, individuals with high blood pressure being treated with diuretics can have low levels of magnesium. Some people who take in less than the recommended amount of magnesium are likely to have higher markers of inflammation in their bodies. 

Inflammation has been associated with problems such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, brain and nervous system problems, as well as muscle and bone issues.

• Muscle weakness
• Fatigue 
• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
• Low blood pressure 
• Confusion
• Palpitations 

It’s advisable to notify your doctor and pharmacist if you have kidney problems, are on magnesium supplements and taking a magnesium-containing antacid or laxative in addition because you may wind up with toxic amounts of magnesium in your body.

Discuss these concerns and other related matters with your doctor.

While there are several forms of magnesium supplements on the market, some are more easily absorbed than others. Certain formulations will not give you the same amount of magnesium as stated on the label because the magnesium compound may not dissolve adequately in your intestines. 

Elite premium magnesium glycinate by Miami Maxlife is pure, tested, and has one of the highest known degrees of intestinal absorption.
