Magnesium Complete
For anxiety and stress related disorders
Magnesium Complete is a combination of four magnesium compounds:
Magnesium Orotate
Magnesium Aspartate
Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate
Magnesium Phosphate
Magnesium is essential in the production of energy and
performs a critical role in the activation of four of the nine enzymes
in the Tri-carboxylic Acid Cycle (TCA cycle). This cycle is at the very
center of all cellular metabolism involving protein, fat and carbohydrate
metabolism. Its role is crucial in the external and internal cell membranes
and has a regulating effect upon the nervous system, exerting an overall
relaxing effect. It exerts a stabilizing effect on the electrical potential
of cell membranes in the muscular and nervous tissues thus reducing
sudden depolarization of cell membranes, which can lead to epileptic
fits, cardiac arrhythmia and spasms. Magnesium is vital for regular
and strong contractions of the cardiac muscle fibers. Magnesium relaxes
smooth muscle in the blood vessel walls thus reducing blood pressure.

MAGNESIUM COMPLETE - EXTRA INFO:
Possible signs of magnesium deficiency are:
Muscular cramps, spasms and twitching, nervous tension, anxiety, panic
attacks, agitation, irritability, confusion, insomnia, shortness of
breath, muscular aches and pains, cold hands and feet, palpitations,
chest pains, poor exercise tolerance, high blood pressure, aggravation
of migraine headaches, convulsions, lethargy and sugar cravings.
CERTAIN FACTORS WHICH INCREASE THE DAILY REQUIREMENT FOR MAGNESIUM ARE:
Stress, high muscular activity, (such as athletes), high protein diets,
high dairy diet, processed foods, high calcium intake (as this upsets
the phosphorous/magnesium balance needed for healthy bones), high sugar
diet. Many prescription drugs such as diuretics, Cyclosporin A, laxatives,
digitalis, corticosteroids, chemotherapy and antibiotics may reduce
mineral absorption and increase magnesium needs. Regular or prolonged
use of diuretics will often result in depletion of total body magnesium
resulting in fatigue, muscle cramps and an exacerbation of heart failure.
Excesses of alcohol and coffee. Magnesium depletion in the soils is
common and is due to acid rain, fluoridation in water supplies and certain
processing methods of grains.
Along with calcium and phosphorus, magnesium is needed for strong and
healthy bones, a consideration for the osteoarthritic-prone individual.
Magnesium is essential for cell growth and repair and cellular metabolism.
Magnesium also works with enzymes to break down sugar stored in the
liver to create energy. Magnesium interacts with sodium, potassium and
calcium, to control the muscle tone of blood vessels and this is why
studies have shown its important role in blood vessel diseases, such
as high blood pressure, angina and damaged blood vessels of the retina.
Some malabsorption or gastrointestinal disorders, such as Crohns disease,
may be associated with low magnesium levels. Women on oral contraceptives
have been found to be low in magnesium and since low magnesium levels
may increase the risk of blood clots, this is a consideration for the
prevention of thrombosis in women on the pill. Magnesium deficiency
is implicated in cardiovascular disease, and there is often a marked
drop in blood magnesium levels immediately after a heart attack.
