Why we need magnesium
Known to support more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body, Magnesium is the quintessential mineral needed for the body to perform at its best. Magnesium is found in plant foods as the central molecule of the green pigment chlorophyll and is critical for plants to utilise sunlight as a source of energy in the process of photosynthesis. Unlike our palaeolithic ancestors who ate a large plant-based diet, many people in modern societies are not getting adequate amounts in their diets, either due to poor dietary habits or foods grown in mineral deficient soils. Combine this with the many factors that further deplete magnesium levels in the body, such as high stress, excessive exercising, certain health issues and excess alcohol intake, and the stage is set for a demonstratable deficiency of this essential mineral. This can leave you feeling unenergised, tired and moody, with sluggish bowels and muscle tension. my pure magnesium contains the highly bioavailable bisglycinate form of magnesium, where the mineral molecule is sandwiched between two glycine amino acid molecules. Amino acids are preferentially absorbed over minerals in the body, and this format provides the red-carpet, VIP access of magnesium into circulation. With its ease of absorption, this format is ideal for those needing to correct a deficiency, or improve the available quantity of magnesium for cellular use, without the bowel tolerance issues often associated with other forms of magnesium.
