Natural Calm Magnesium Citrate.
Are You Getting Enough Magnesium?
Do You Have a Magnesium Deficiency?
Magnesium is one of the most important basic nutrients that power our bodies and is required for more than 300 biochemical reactions. Due to nutrient-deficient soil and fast-paced lifestyles, few of us (estimated at less than 20 percent) get sufficient magnesium in our diets. This means supplementation is needed, and Natural Calm Magnesium Citrate is the best-selling, award-winning* ionic magnesium that mixes easily in water to restore healthy magnesium levels quickly and effectively.*winner of the 2010 and 2011 Vity Award for Best Supplement
"Both our current diet and tendency to over-supplement with calcium… make getting enough magnesium almost impossible." —Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D. Author of the book The Magnesium Miracle

Why Are We Deficient in Magnesium?
Magnesium has been consistently depleted in our soils. It has been further depleted in plants by the use of potassium and phosphorus laden fertilizers which alter the plant's ability to uptake magnesium. Water from deep wells supplies additional magnesium not found in food, but surface water, our common source of supply, lacks magnesium. Food processing removes magnesium. Broiling, steaming and boiling remove magnesium into the water or drippings. High carbohydrate and high fat diets increase the need for magnesium as does physical and mental stress. Diuretic medications and insulin further deplete total body magnesium. As we age magnesium uptake may be impaired. Dieting reduces intake of already low levels of magnesium intake.
Magnesium depletion can be caused by such things as stress, caffeine, sugar, alcohol, tobacco,drugs of all types, high perspiration, low thyroid function, diabetes, chronic pain, diuretics, and a high carbohydrate, high-sodium or high-calcium diet.
Magnesium is vital to the body and a deficiency can mean a whole host of problems. In fact, children with autism may have lower levels of magnesium as when they are given supplements, their social abilities improve. Women who have gone through menopause also show promising signs of improved bone density when placed on magnesium supplementation. Magnesium even affects the heart, as health supplements have been shown to reduce chest pain and other side effects associated with exercise in patients with heart disease. Finally, magnesium has also been linked to carbohydrate metabolism and the body’s release of insulin, hence the low levels found in those with Type II diabetes.
