Magnesium Multi Mineral - Chelated

- A well-balanced blend of magnesium, calcium and trace minerals
- All minerals are delivered in chelated form, bound to amino acids for optimal absorption through the intestinal walls via dipeptide channels and better digestive tolerance
- Supplementary minerals are provided in well-balanced proportions, including a 3:1 ratio of magnesium to calcium and a 15:2 ratio of zinc to copper
Minerals are essential to human health. They are needed as buffering agents to regulate pH levels, they play key roles in the body's physical structures, and they regulate countless enzymes. The problem is that modern practices leave many of us with suboptimal mineral levels. Poor soil quality and food processing have led to documented declines in mineral levels in our produce and grains, while pharmaceutical drugs can deplete key minerals over long-term use. Consider the following essential minerals and their roles in human health:
Magnesium: Magnesium is necessary for maintaining good nerve and muscle function through its regulation of calcium, it helps create cellular energy in mitochondria and also acts as a cofactor to build DNA, RNA and many proteins. Clinical trials and large-scale evidence have shown that magnesium may be helpful for muscle tension, fatigue, anxiety, depression, insomnia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), cardiovascular disease, dementia, osteoporosis, migraines and more.
Calcium: Although calcium is best known for its role in the skeletal system, it also plays a crucial role in regulating muscle contractions, transmitting signals in the nervous system, and releasing hormones. Calcium has a complementary and important relationship with magnesium in many physiological functions.
Zinc: Necessary for the normal development and function of natural killer cells, neutrophils, macrophages, and various cytokines, zinc is primarily known for its role in regulating the immune system. Zinc also stabilizes insulin and regulates blood sugar levels, increases the sensitivity of thyroid receptors, improves mood and helps in healthy sperm production.
Copper: Copper is necessary for the absorption of iron from the digestive tract. It plays a role in immunity and is involved in the production of adenosine triphosphate. Depletion of copper levels can be seen with long-term zinc supplementation as each mineral competes for gastrointestinal absorption, so it is important to provide a balanced ratio of each trace mineral.
Boron: This trace mineral helps support bone health by reducing urinary excretion of calcium and magnesium. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and has been shown to reduce arthritis pain.
Manganese: Manganese is a necessary cofactor for several important enzymes in the body and is particularly important for the synthesis of proline and collagen. This makes the trace mineral important for skin, bone and joint health.
Molybdenum: This trace element is indicated for its detoxifying properties. Most notably, people sensitive to sulfites are often deficient in molybdenum because it is needed to activate enzymes that metabolize sulfites, aldehydes, and xanthines.
Chromium: A trace mineral necessary for proper functioning of insulin receptors, chromium has been shown to lower blood sugar levels and reduce hemoglobin A1c markers, indicating better long-term blood sugar control.
Selenium: Although best known for its role in activating and regulating thyroid hormones, selenium is also necessary for healthy immune function and upregulating the production of the body's main antioxidant, glutathione.
Magnesium Multi-Mineral from Cyto-Matrix contains a well-balanced blend of these minerals in their highly bioavailable chelated forms. Chelated minerals have been chemically linked to an amino acid and these complexes facilitate the transport of minerals across the intestinal walls via dipeptide channels. This allows for optimal absorption and better digestive tolerance.
Magnesium Multi-Mineral contains a therapeutic dose of magnesium with trace mineral dosages to help achieve the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) each day. Complementary minerals are provided in well-balanced proportions, including a 3:1 ratio of Magnesium to Calcium and a 15:2 ratio of Zinc to Copper.
