Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health – it is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis.

There is concern that many people may not have enough body stores of magnesium because dietary intake may not be high enough. Having enough body stores of magnesium may be protective against disorders such as cardiovascular disease and immune dysfunction. The combination of poor magnesium absorption and low magnesium levels in the soil, water and local foods, all contribute to such defi ciencies. Our bodies can also lose large amounts of magnesium through the kidneys in certain cases.

Anyone who is chronically tired, suffers from leg and foot cramps, exercises a great deal, has irregular heartbeats, takes diuretics, or indulges excessively in alcohol or caffeine (tea, coffee, cola drinks), should consider taking a magnesium supplement. Diabetics who have to use insulin also tend to excrete more magnesium via the kidneys (especially when uncontrolled) and are at risk of magnesium deficiency. Biogen Magnesium Fizzy also includes Vitamin C and Short-chain fructooligosaccharides (FOS), which have been shown to improve magnesium absorption.

Warning

Discuss use with your doctor, especially if you are taking medication/have a medical condition. Only use during pregnancy, lactation or childhood if recommended by a doctor. Magnesium supplements may cause diarrhoea or loose stools, and to a lesser extent cramping. Reduce dosage or discontinue use if this becomes severe. With most
individuals the increased absorption rate and fi bre (FOS) content of Biogen Magnesium Fizzie will however limit such side-effects. This product is suitable for diabetics.
