Magnesium Breakthrough

DETAILS

Why Magnesium Breakthrough:

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for all aspects of health. It participates in over 600 different biochemical reactions^[1] in your body. Yet, over 80% of the population don’t get the minimum amounts of the types of magnesium they need from diet alone because US soil lacks it. Magnesium deficiency can increase all disease risks and keep you from performing optimally.

Even people who supplement tend to take types that are poorly absorbed, or they only take two types of magnesium at most. Each type benefits different tissues and organ systems. If you’re only taking one or two forms, you’re most likely still deficient.

BIOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough is the only supplement on the market that offers the full spectrum of all seven types of magnesium specially formulated to reach every tissue in your body to provide maximum health benefits and reverses low levels which could be causing health issues.

Promotes Healthy Stress and Relaxation Responses

Magnesium is extremely important for mental and neurological health. In humans, a low-magnesium diet is associated with higher risk of mental health issues and unhealthy stress responses.^[27] You need magnesium to deal with stress. Stress^[28] causes you to excrete more magnesium through urine.^[29] Therefore, being deficient can create a vicious cycle.

Magnesium supplementation has been shown to promote a healthy stress response and neurotransmitter balance. It also promotes relaxation by increasing GABA,^[30] the calming neurotransmitter.

Magnesium supplements have also been shown to help improve mental health^[32] in women with general premenstrual syndrome.

To boost mood and promote a healthy stress response, it is best to use a combination of forms of magnesium combined with vitamin B6.^[33] Studies have confirmed that magnesium with organic acid salt (e.g. citrate and malate) or amino acids (e.g. taurate, glycinate, and sucrosomial)^[34] are significantly better absorbed than inorganic salts (oxide, chloride, and sulfate).^[35] Also, these different forms are absorbed into different tissues, with taurate, malate, and citrate being the most beneficial for the nervous system.^[36]

BIOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough contains the full spectrum of all seven forms of the most bioavailable magnesium along with vitamin B6 to support mental health and promote a healthy stress response.

BENEFITS

Promotes Heart Health

Magnesium is extremely important for heart health^[2] and blood vessel health. Magnesium deficiency seems to worsen the inflammation, blood vessel constriction, blood clotting, and stress responses that trigger heart conditions. Correcting deficiency appears to improve heart health and reduces risk of death, although it is unclear whether supplementation alone is sufficient to treat these conditions.

Improves the Ability to Deal With Stress and Helps to Relax

A magnesium supplement significantly reduces stress^[3] in people who are deficient in magnesium. Also, combined^[4] with vitamin B6 was 40% more helpful than alone in very stressful situations. Findings support the need for magnesium supplementation for people living in conditions of chronic stress.^[5]

Helps With Mood, Cognitive Function, and Mental Health

A magnesium supplement significantly improved^[6] mood^[7] after 2 weeks. Another trial found that magnesium supplements improved^[8] mood in seniors.

Promotes Healthy Blood Sugar Hormone Function And Promotes Healthy Metabolism

Magnesium is important for hormones that regulate blood sugar^[9] to function well. Therefore, many people with blood sugar issues and^[10] metabolic syndrome are deficient in magnesium. Even when the blood sugar^[11] is well-controlled, a supplement would still be necessary to achieve healthy levels. In a clinical trial involving 65 diabetes patients, magnesium supplementation promotes healthy function^[12] and metabolism.

A large-scale systematic and dose-response analysis found that magnesium supplementation correlated with reduced body weight^[13] and waist circumference among specific groups of people. Participants seemed to weigh less and had smaller waist circumference if they took magnesium supplements.

Magnesium on its own doesn’t cure blood sugar problems or cause weight loss, but it can be highly beneficial in combination with diet and exercise.

Supports Exercise Performance and Recovery

Magnesium supplementation improves speed and strength,^[15] possibly by making glucose metabolism more efficient. It also supports healthy stress response to exercise, counteracts excessive muscle damage,^[16] and improves exercise recovery (400 mg/day, taken at breakfast).

Improves Sleep Quality

In a small clinical trial involving 46 elderly subjects with sleep struggles,^[17] 500 mg of daily magnesium supplement improved sleep quality, sleep latency, and cortisol. Subjects also had more serum melatonin, slept deeper, and were less likely to wake up in the middle of the night.

Builds Stronger Bones

Magnesium are key building blocks of your bones.^[18] Magnesium deficiency can contribute to osteoporosis by:

• • preventing healthy bone formation, creating brittle bones
  • causing low-grade inflammation
  • increasing cortisol, which can contribute to bone loss
  • reducing parathyroid hormone

In a clinical trial^[19] involving 73,684 postmenopausal women, low magnesium intake was associated with lower bone density in the hip and whole body. Magnesium intake slightly higher than the Recommended Dietary Allowance was associated with lower arm and wrist fractures from falling.

While magnesium is essential for bone health, magnesium supplements alone may not cure osteoporosis or osteopenia. Please speak to your doctor for diagnosis and treatments.

Promotes Healthy Blood Pressure

A meta-analysis of 34 randomized control trials found that magnesium reduced blood pressure.^[20] However, the effect size is clinically small (<2 mmHg). Therefore, it may be good for supporting overall health and healthy blood pressure, but you may also need other interventions to achieve healthy blood pressure levels.

Promotes Balanced and Healthy Immune System

Magnesium deficiency^[21]contributes to increased inflammation and weak immune responses.^[22] In a meta-analysis^[23] involving 32,198 people, those with more magnesium had less serum C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation).

Overall, magnesium deficiencies tend to exacerbate or increase the risk of conditions that involve chronic inflammation.^[24]

Supports Vitamin D Activation and Metabolism

Both Vitamin D and magnesium have important roles in bone health, immune function, and metabolism. Magnesium is a cofactor in vitamin D conversion and activation.^[25] Some people cannot increase their blood 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels despite supplementing with vitamin D3 because they are deficient in magnesium. In other words, magnesium deficiency can make vitamin D less effective.

Also, in people deficient in magnesium, high doses of vitamin D3 could worsen magnesium deficiency and increase the potential for side effects of excessive vitamin D3, such as having calcium deposits in the arteries.

HOW?

When you take magnesium in the morning, it supports brain function and stress response throughout the day. In the evening, high doses of magnesium promote relaxation and may help with sleep. Therefore, it is best to divide your magnesium supplement doses throughout the day. If that is not possible, take whenever you can.

It is better to take mineral supplements, such as magnesium, on an empty stomach because you will absorb it more efficiently. However, some people experience upset stomach, so they take it with food.

Studies of inorganic magnesium salts (oxide, chloride, and sulfate) found that stomach acid is necessary for magnesium absorption, so they need to be taken on an empty stomach. However, organic magnesium salts (citrate, glycinate, chelate, etc) are more readily absorbed even when taken with food.

Our bodies don’t store magnesium well. It is generally excreted from your system within 24 hours of intake. Therefore, it is important to take magnesium every day.
