Action of active substances

Magnesium

Various magnesium compounds contain not equal amount of elemental magnesium. Magnesium oxide most contains elemental magnesium – 5.9-12 times more than in organic magnesium salines (lactate, gluconate, aspartate). Magnesium oxide decreases high stomach acidity. It well dissolves in stomach juice and forms easy assimilative form – magnesium chloride that is well absorbed in the intestine and does not cause any harm to microflora. Magnesium is one of the most important minerals. It participates in the nervous system activity, thermoregulation processes, regulates heart contraction rate and power, relaxes muscles, is essential to accumulate the energy in the cells and also it is important to calcium metabolism. Magnesium dilates blood vessels, regulates blood pressure and improves peripheral circulation.
 
Vitamin B6
 
Vitamin B6 enters nerve cells and helps to assimilate magnesium better. Vitamin B6 regulates cells proliferation and differentiation, protein metabolism. This vitamin influences fermentation processes in the brain, stimulates hemoglobin production, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism.

Scientific researches demonstrating the efficiency

* 60 patients were divided into two groups. One group received magnesium and the other – placebo. Arterial blood pressure, pulse and magnesium level in serum were monitored for 12 hours. Conclusion: magnesium was well tolerated; there were no side effects and pulse slowdown or dangerous decrease of the arterial blood pressure. (Muir KW, Lees KR.,University Department of Medicine and Therapeutics, Gardiner Institute, Western Infirmary, Glasgow, Scotland.)
* Multicentral trial showed that magnesium has neuroprotective property and improves circulation. (Muir KW, Department of Neurology, Southern General Hospital, Glasgow, Scotland.)
*Magnesium significantly reduces the rate of various heart rythm disorders. (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2002; 75:550-554; Klevay LM, Milne DB, Am J Clin Nutr. 2002;75:550-554.)
* Magnesium is effective to decrease the risk of eclampsia. (The Lancet 359: 1877-90, June 1, 2002).
* Magnesium helps for menopausal age women to prevent various heart rhythm disorders. (American Journal Clinical Nutrition 75: 550-54, 2002)
* Magnesium helps to prevent thromboses complications in case of coronary heart disease. (Shechter M, et al. Am J Cardiol July 15, 1999;84: 152-6.)
* The research of large population showed that consuming enough magnesium decreases the risk to develop type 2 diabetes. (Diabetes Care 20(4): 545, 1997.)
* 16 studies performed during last 20 years determined that magnesium is valuable in treatment of cardiovascular diseases. (Hypertension 31 (Part 1): 131, 1998.)
* Heart attack rate and sudden death from heart diseases rate is decreased after 1 year of consumption of the 350 mg magnesium. (British Medical Journal 307: 585, 1993.)
* 40 patients with migraine received 600 mg of magnesium every day for three months. It was noticed that migraine attacks decreased. (Cephalalgia 16: 257, 1996.)
