Magnesium Formulation (140g), Fatique & Sweet Cravings

Description

METABOLE MAGNESIUM FORMULATION with ZINC and VITAMIN B6

magnesium
noun \mag-ne´ze-um\
: a chemical element, atomic number 12; its salts are
essential in nutrition, being required for the activity of
many enzymes, especially those concerned with
oxidative phosphorylation
(The American Heritage Medical Dictionary)

Magnesium is regarded as the most important of the 17 minerals that are considered essential for
human life.

The body contains approximately 20 – 28 grams of magnesium most of which (60 – 65%)
occurs in the bones and teeth, the remainder(35 – 40%) being found in muscle and tissue cells,
especially those of the heart and brain, making these two organs particularly vulnerable in times of
magnesium deficiency

FOOD

In nature magnesium is found abundantly in green vegetables (magnesium is a major component of
chlorophyll), beans, nuts and seeds but deficiencies in the soil and food refinement have greatly reduced the content of these foods, in some cases by as much as 90%.

Availability of magnesium is further reduced by certain drugs such as diuretics, contraceptives, antibiotics and cortisone necessitating the need for magnesium supplements.

ENERGY

Magnesium functions as a co-factor in more than 325 different enzyme systems, most of which are
involved in the creation and storage of energy.

Dietary shortages of magnesium as well as the competitive inhibition of magnesium dependent enzyme sites by environmental toxins such as mercury, lead and aluminium – so called toxic overload – can give rise to CHRONIC FATIGUE and possibly ALZHEIMER, conditions that can be alleviated by an increased intake of magnesium.

Other conditions such as STRESS and ANXIETY which deplete the body’s energy reserves also respond
well to magnesium supplementation.

CALCIUM and MAGNESIUM NUTRIENTS

A close association exists between calcium and magnesium in the body, and the calcium to
magnesium ratio has a number or important physiological implications.

Muscle contraction, for example, is initiated by calcium entering the cells and stopped when the passage of calcium is blocked by magnesium.

A high calcium to magnesium ratio can therefore lead to prolonged muscle contraction and spasms, leading to ASTHMA if this occurs in the bronchial tubes or to ANGINA, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE and ARRHYTHMIA if the blood vessels are involved; HEADACHE and MIGRAINE are caused by spasms in the small blood vessels in the brain.

INSULIN and MAGNESIUM

A high calcium to magnesium ratio may also be implicated in INSULIN RESISTANCE where glucose is
no longer able to enter the cell, giving rise to OBESITY, HIGH CHOLESTEROL, ELEVATED
TRIGLYCERIDES and HIGH URIC ACID levels. High levels of magnesium can restore the sensitivity
of the cells to insulin and help to correct INSULIN RESISTANCE.

METOBOLE MAGNESIUM FORMULATION

Metabole Magnesium Formulation provides magnesium together with synergistic nutrients such as zinc and vitamin B6 which play an important role in energy reactions in the body and help to generate ATP, the energy currency of the cell.

Carnitine is added to the formulation for its energy enhancing properties, by facilitating the mobilisation of fatty acids into the mitochondrial of the cell. Siberian ginseng is an adaptogen and excellent for stress management as well as for energy production and stamina.

In summary, the Metabole Magnesium Formulation can do the following for you:

* Increases the production of ATP, thereby providing more energy to the cell and helps to reduce fatique

* Optimizes the calcium/magnesium ratio in the cell, leading to the alleviation of muscle
spasms and cramping

* Normalizes the use of glucose by the cell, thereby preventing insulin resistance and
weight gain

No added preservatives, colourants, flavourants, sugar, salt or dairy products

DOSAGE:

1 to 2 teaspoons daily in a glass of water or as directed by a health-care practitioner
