Magnesium is the second most abundant element inside human cells, and the fourth most abundant positively charged ion in the human body. Within the body’s cells, it serves literally hundreds of functions. Magnesium ions regulate over 300 biochemical reactions in the body through their role as enzyme co-factors. They also play a vital role in the reactions that generate and use ATP, the fundamental unit of energy within the body’s cells. As one of the most common co-factors in the body, magnesium’s presence is crucial to glucose and fat breakdown; production of proteins, enzymes, and antioxidants such as glutathione; creation of DNA and RNA; and regulation of cholesterol production. Magnesium also plays a vital...Full Details

Magnesium is the second most abundant element inside human cells, and the fourth most abundant positively charged ion in the human body. Magnesium (Mg) is an essential mineral best known for its role in bone and nervous system function. Recent research has demonstrated that it is also critical for normal brain health and normal cognitive function by maintaining the density and stability of neuronal synapses. However, most forms of Mg are not easily absorbed into the nervous system. Magtein™ is a patented form of Mg that readily crosses the blood-brain barrier for utilization in the brain. Laboratory studies indicate that Magtein™ supports brain health and may facilitate learning and memory, as well as a...Full Details
Magnesium is an essential nutrient required to maintain a healthy body. Research shows that 72% of adults in America do not receive the recommended daily intake (RDI) for magnesium. It is often thought that magnesium needs can be easily met through a daily multiple vitamin, but multiple vitamins containing magnesium typically only consist of 10% of the magnesium required daily. The inadequate intake of magnesium can lead to many health consequences due to magnesium's diverse roles in the body. Sixty percent of the body's magnesium is stored in the bone, which is why our bones generally suffer first during magnesium deficiency. An adequate amount of magnesium can aid in long term bone health. Magnesium is also critical for adequate...Full Details
