Minerals for Life™ water-soluble
Magnesium is a dietary supplement containing elemental magnesium.
The human body needs water-soluble magnesium to utilize calcium
properly. Your body needs about two parts magnesium for every one
part calcium for best antioxidant effects.* If you have proper
magnesium levels, the body can use the calcium it needs and
discharge the rest. Most people have more calcium in their diets
than they need but an absolute shortage of magnesium. Of even more
concern is the fact that the average American diet makes very little
allowance for magnesium. It is of concern that large doses of
calcium are currently being promoted in our diets without proper
magnesium supplementation.*
Consuming enough water-soluble magnesium with calcium has many
positive benefits for the human body. It often results in feeling
younger because lack of proper magnesium to calcium ratios results
in rapidly aging every man, woman, and child in this country.* It is
also reported to help individuals lose weight.* The fact that
calcium can be good and bad has eluded experts researching anti
aging for the last 50 years. It is also believed premenstrual
syndrome (PMS) is nothing more than a symptom of premature aging
caused by calcification of female body parts. Instead of women’s
ovaries aging in their sixties, they age in their twenties. Women
who were put on a program of increased magnesium reported their PMS
vanished. More importantly, the women reported feeling and looking
10 to 15 years younger. Most women said they had lost weight,
increased their energy, and had a more positive outlook. In
addition, many said they noticed smoother skin without any other
topical applications. The best antiaging advice in the world may
be:“Take less calcium, take more magnesium.”
Magnesium can assist people in enjoying the prime of their lives by
promoting ease of joint movement, steady functioning of the
cardiovascular system, proper sugar balance, healthy bones, and
long-term mental clarity.*
When too much calcium is deposited in an area of the body, it is
called calcification. As we grow older, calcium migrates from the
hard tissues (bones) to the soft tissues in your body. Increased
calcification can cause aging and premature death. Proper calcium
utilization can promote youthfulness and longevity.* As magnesium
levels go down, up to 30% of the energy a cell creates can be spent
trying to pump the calcium out. This is why some people exhaust so
easily. Calcification can occur in the arteries, heart, or kidneys.
Proper magnesium levels in the body can contribute to a healthy
gallbladder, eyes, hair, and smooth skin.* As you age, your
(undesired) calcium levels will usually increase relative to the
lack of magnesium in your diet. But the good news is that consuming
extra magnesium, in a water-soluble form, allows your calcium to
start migrating out of the tissue and organ areas where it does not
belong.* In addition, what your body does not need, it will be able
to expel.* This may contribute to individuals looking younger after
using the product.*
Magnesium is required for production and transfer of energy from
protein synthesis and for contraction of muscles and excitability of
nerves.* It is also a cofactor in a myriad of enzyme systems.* It is
apparent that our bodies are able to consume large amounts of
magnesium to insure proper use of calcium.* Proper utilization of
magnesium supports a healthy respiratory system, increased muscle
tone and size, a more comfortable menstrual cycle, healthy growth,
strong, relaxed muscles, proper physical balance, and healthy organs
and soft tissue.*
Magnesium plays a key role in the production of cellular energy and
is involved in almost every biologic process. Magnesium and calcium
work together in the body for the formulation of adenosine
triphosphate, the key form of biologic energy.*
Magnesium is essential for every major biological process. It is
necessary for the metabolism of glucose, production of cellular
energy, and the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins.*
Magnesium’s role in cellular reproduction is key in maintaining
healthy levels of immune-related cells during an immune challenge.*
Magnesium is also important for the electrical stability of cells
and supports the muscle tone of blood vessels, promoting a more
relaxed state.*
Magnesium plays a critical role in converting carbohydrates to
energy, healthy heart function, activating enzyme systems, and
muscular contractions.* Magnesium is also needed for a cell to make
ATP, the molecule that contains the energy of the body.*
Magnesium is not a trace mineral but a major entity in our bodies.
It is necessary for over 300 enzymatic reactions and is biologically
interlocked with calcium metabolism. Magnesium is vital for making
sure that calcium is used properly by the body. Between 5060% of
magnesium in the body is found in bone. It also plays a key role in
the synthesis of proteins, which are components of many body
structures such as cartilage.*
Magnesium also plays an important role in the maintenance of the
electrical and physical integrity of heart muscle.* Calcium and
magnesium are both needed in proper amounts to maintain healthy
balance between these minerals in the body, both of which have
effects on blood vessels and the heart.*
John P. Trowbridge, former president elect of the American College
of Advancement in Medicine, stated that although normal
cardiovascular health and circulation and mental psychological
balance appear to be unrelated, magnesium contributes to the health
of both.* Proper magnesium levels help millions of people at work to
maintain ease of wrist, neck, elbow, finger, knee, back, and hip
movement.* Please be advised that Milk of Magnesia is not magnesium
in the proper water-soluble form.
