Triple Magnesium 250 mg 90 Capsules

Vital Nutrients’ Triple Magnesium combines three types of magnesium into one convenient capsule: magnesium oxide, citrate, and glycinate. Magnesium is used in hundreds of chemical processes within your body. A magnesium deficiency may result from conditions like kidney disease, continued stress, or diabetes. It’s a critical part of the body’s metabolism of amino acids, fats, and carbohydrates. Magnesium also activates enzymes essential in many functions of the body.

Three major types of this nutrient are magnesium citrate, magnesium glycinate, and magnesium oxide. Citrate is one of the most easily absorbed forms of magnesium. Magnesium oxide can serve as an antacid. Due to its attachment to a non-essential amino acid, magnesium glycinate is also easily absorbed. It also lessens the laxative effect possible with the other types of magnesium.

Migraines and insomnia may be alleviated by increased magnesium intake. In addition, magnesium has been associated with the maintenance of healthy blood pressure and bone density levels. Anyone’s bone growth efforts must include magnesium, because it helps in the transportation and absorption of calcium to and by the bones. Nerves and muscles also benefit from magnesium intake, which can help fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome patients.

Magnesium also plays an important role in preventing stress and mood swings. The body releases magnesium into your bloodstream when you’re stressed. However, it’s then released from your body through your urine. Although this process helps you cope with stress physically, it can also leave you deficient in magnesium. Unfortunately, this deficiency may lead to many serious health problems.

If you consume too much caffeine, sodium, or alcohol, you’re also at risk for having low magnesium levels. It has a domino effect. Without enough magnesium, your body won’t be able to fully utilize other major nutrients: for example, vitamin D, potassium, zinc, and copper. Low-fat dairy products (such as cheese or milk), green vegetables, nuts, and whole grains are good dietary sources; ironically, the effort involved in eating a perfectly balanced diet adds stress to many Americans’ lives.
