For persons with known cardiac health issues
Description:
Cardiac health is vitally dependent on
magnesium. Deficiency of magnesium may reduce relaxation of the
heart and predispose to diastolic hypertension. Deficiency may
increase contraction of arterial muscle that can contribute to
systolic
Additional Info:
Deficiency may increase contraction of arterial
muscle that can contribute to systolic hypertension, and in more
severe cases to spasm of the arteries that can cause heart attacks.
Serious and even life threatening abnormal heart rhythms have
resulted from magnesium deficiency, as magnesium is required for
normal electrical conduction in the heart. Because cardiac
medications such as diuretics can cause severe magnesium depletion
and aggravate these risks, it is especially important to supply
adequate magnesium in this setting. Sufficient delivery of
bioavailable magnesium for persons with cardiac conditions may be
life saving.

Magnesium is of therapeutic value
in treating a myriad of symptoms and health conditions:
Anxiety & panic attacks
Hypoglycemia
Asthma
Insomnia
Blood clots
Kidney disease
Bowel disease
Migraine
Cystitis
Musculoskeletal conditions
Depression
Nerve problems
Obgyn problems
Toxicity
Diabetes
Osteoporosis
Fatigue
Raynaud's syndrome
Heart disease
Tooth decay
Hypertension
The type of magnesium chelate used in MagCardio™
is a L-lysine and L-glycine blend, known as a chelazome. This is the
specific form that was used for cardiac patients to improve their
exercise endurance and reduce their need for cardiac medication.
MagCardio™ has been further enhanced with a laser process that can
increase uniformity of shape and give an even greater boost to
bioavailability.
Are There Tests to Prove Magnesium Deficiency?
Although "total serum (blood) magnesium testing" and "red and white
blood cell magnesium testing" can be used, these tests are not
completely accurate as they do not measure the amount of magnesium
held in other parts of the body. The most important consideration is
that significant depletion in the cell may be present even if the
blood test gives a level in the normal range. Magnesium depletion in
the cell must be severe before blood tests will show a reduced
magnesium level. However, even with this criterion, studies have
still shown up to a 65% prevalence of magnesium deficiency.
The option of a "blood ionized magnesium test"
involves a very refined procedure and may be considered the most
accurate and reliable blood test available. Magnesium ions
constitute the physiologically active fraction on magnesium in the
body - they are not attached to other substances and are free to
join in biochemical body processes. With the blood ionized magnesium
test, ion-selective electrodes are used to directly measure the
levels of magnesium ions in whole blood, plasma and serum.
Using intracellular testing, typically of cells
swabbed from the inside of the mouth, has shown magnesium deficiency
in over 90% of persons tested. This kind of testing is known as "the
buccal cell smear test". The total mineral levels in the buccal
cells correlate with the results from white blood cells and red
blood cells. Analysis is performed using scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) and elemental X-ray analysis (EXA). Similarly to
the red and white blood cell magnesium testing, the only downfall of
buccal smear testing is that is doesn't measure active, free
magnesium ions.
For many people, including those who do not
have easy access to the ionized blood test or even the buccal cell
smear test, it will be far more practical to observe for any of the
many symptoms of magnesium depletion and observe if improvement
occurs with appropriate supplementation.
Because of the widespread deficiency of
magnesium due to inadequate intake, stress and lifestyle factors,
and even medications, magnesium supplementation of amino acid
chelates can be strongly recommended for almost everyone.
Suggested Usage: For MagCardio™, 6
capsules a day are recommended, divided into 3 capsules twice daily.
Higher amounts than these are only to be used with physician
guidance.
Additionally, the fastest method to track the
progress of re-mineralizing the body, and the only highly reliable
one for magnesium, is intracellular mineral testing. This is done
from a swab of the lining of the mouth.
