The mineral magnesium is crucial for the body to function properly because magnesium is involved in more than 600 of the body's enzymatic reactions.

According to World Health Organization statistics, as many as three of every four U.S. adults don’t achieve the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Recommended Daily Intake of 420 mg of magnesium. A magnesium deficiency can manifest in many ways, such as poor blood sugar metabolism, muscle cramps or soreness, eyelid twitching, fatigue, and poor sleep.

Why is magnesium important?
•  Magnesium is essential for the health of the heart and blood vessels, brain, bones, muscles, and lungs.*
•  Magnesium supports healthy blood sugar levels.*
•  It promotes bronchial relaxation.*
•  An essential mineral for the electrical activity of the heart, it supports healthy heart rate and rhythm.*
•  Magnesium helps relax both smooth and skeletal muscle.*

•  Magnesium is a cofactor for multiple enzymes involved in cellular energy production.*

This formula by Pure Encapsulations offers an enhanced solubility form of the highly bioavailable magnesium citrate in a convenient powder form. Magnesium plays an important role in healthy bone mineralization. Its cardiovascular properties include support for arterial function, endothelial function, c-reactive protein metabolism and lipid metabolism. A meta-analysis of 20 randomized trials suggests that it also promotes healthy systolic and diastolic function. In addition, magnesium promotes healthy glucose metabolism. In one 15-year study involving 4, 637 young adults, higher intakes of magnesium were associated with healthy cardiovascular function and glucose utilization. Magnesium also plays important roles in muscle function, mood and calming, and cranial vessel comfort.*
