How it works
Magnesium is essential for many cellular functions,
particularly those functions involved in energy
production, and for the normal functioning of muscle and
nerve tissue. Signs of low magnesium levels can include
fatigue, mental confusion, irritability, muscle cramps,
problems with nerve conduction and muscle contraction,
insomnia and predisposition to stress.
If the blood is low in magnesium it takes it from the
muscles and without enough magnesium in muscles they
stiffen up or contract. The result may be painful
cramps, irritability, twitching or even tremors. Some
people may develop muscle cramps at rest, while others
develop them at night, along with a difficulty sleeping.
Magnesium may help to relieve night leg cramps and helps
all muscles in the body to function optimally.
One third of Australians over 18 years do not get
their recommended daily intake of magnesium and a
deficiency may be exacerbated by stress, strenuous
exercise and poor absorption. Blackmores Magnesium
Powder contains a highly absorbable form of magnesium to
enhance cellular uptake.
Blackmores Magnesium Powder also contains a range of
other ingredients including amino acids which are
important for energy production, muscle function and
repair:
Taurine plays a role in maintaining healthy
cardiovascular function
Glutamine - Exhaustive exercise or intense
training sessions decrease glutamine in the blood.
L-carnitine is required for cellular energy
production.
Vitamin C, folate and B12 are involved in the
maintenance and repair of muscle tissue
B vitamins are involved in the production of
energy from food. Exercise may increase the need for B
complex vitamins.
Chromium helps to maintain normal glucose
metabolism and balance sugar levels in the body.
