CanPrev Magnesium Bis-glycinate 200 Contains:

Magnesium

Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body and is essential for energy production within our cells. Sixty percent (60%) of the body's magnesium is found in our bones and the remainder is found in our major organs and tissues. Magnesium is critical for maintaining normal muscle and nerve function, keeping the heart rhythm steady, supporting a healthy immune system and keeping our bones strong.

The processing and refining of our foods removes much of the food's natural magnesium, hence magnesium deficiency is extremely common in North America.

Research has demonstrated that sixty-eight percent (68%) of adults do not consume enough daily magnesium.

Symptoms of magnesium deficiency can include anxiety, fatigue, irritability, loss of appetite, migraines, muscle weakness and spasms, insomnia, mental confusion, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, numbness and tingling. Those considered at high risk for magnesium deficiency include those with chronic mal-absorption digestion problems such as crohn's and celiac disease or those at risk of increased magnesium loss through the kidneys such as individuals with diabetes, hyperthyroidism or kidney disease. certain prescription medications can also cause a loss of magnesium such as diuretics, antibiotics and oral contraceptives. Seniors in general can greatly improve their health by increasing their magnesium intake.

Magnesium in further detail:

Magnesium is an important catalyst for the body's chemical reactions, meaning that it increases the rate at which chemical reactions occur. Some of the most important chemical reactions that involve magnesium are in the Kreb's cycle, the cycle inside every cell that leads to energy production.

Without magnesium the transmission of nerve and muscle impulses is compromised. This can lead to nervous disorders, depression and muscle weakness or twitches. Magnesium is a useful supplement for PMS symptoms that involves irritability and mood swings. Magnesium also decreases menstrual pain by relaxing the uterine muscles. In pregnancy magnesium acts as a uterine relaxant and can prevent premature labour.

Studies show supplemental magnesium in pregnancy also decreases the risk of birth defects such as cerebral palsy. Magnesium is an important mineral for cardiovascular health. It regulates the heartbeat, prevents the calcification of arteries and relaxes arterial vessels to prevent hypertension. Magnesium has also been researched for its ability to reduce cholesterol, protect against osteoporosis and prevent cancer.

Magnesium can be found as a lone mineral, usually in tablet or capsule form (rarely as a powder). Chelated or citrated magnesium supplements are easier for the body to use and can be taken with or without food. Chelated simply means that magnesium is bonded to a protein molecule, for example aspartate or glycinate, and citrated means that magnesium is bonded to a citrate molecule.

Both processes enhance magnesium's absorption in the intestinal tract but decrease the amount of magnesium that is available in one supplemental dose versus magnesium oxide. The magnesium in antacids is not a good supplemental source because it neutralizes stomach acid and will impair the absorption of other minerals, like calcium.

Magnesium is more commonly used in a Calcium/Magnesium complex. They are available as tablets, capsules, powders and liquids. Magnesium is found in the same forms as are available in single magnesium supplements. When choosing a Cal/Mag complex consider the ratio of calcium to magnesium. The most popular is 2 calcium:1 magnesium because calcium is normally recommended at twice the daily amount as compared to magnesium. However for those individuals in need of extra magnesium 1:1 and 3:2 (Cal:Mag) ratio supplements are available.

Coral calcium

Coral calcium is an option for those who use a calcium/magnesium complex. Coral calcium contains a form of magnesium oxide that has better absorption because it is a naturally occurring magnesium. It occurs in a 1:4 ratio (magnesium:calcium) and is found in a complex with many other minerals. Two types of coral calcium exist, fossilized and marine. Fossilized coral is farmed after it floats to the top of the ocean while marine grade is live coral that is vacuumed from the ocean floor. There is a debate between the maker of both types as to which is better with no clear winner emerging. One must consider the ecological effect of both processes when purchasing coral calcium. Ensure that your supplement is tested for contaminants since the coral is farmed from the ocean. Even after purification coral calcium contains minute amounts of heavy metals and should not be consumed by pregnant or nursing women. 

Combination Rationale of CanPrev Magnesium Bis-glycinate 200

Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 200 supplementation was formulated knowing that the human body is an organic living being.

In order to be properly absorbed, nutrients like magnesium need to be either (a) in pure organic form, or (b) like magnesium bisglycinate, attached to an organic molecule (like glycine) that can help it be more easily transported and absorbed in the intestines.

In a study comparing the bioavailability of magnesium bisglycinate to magnesium ox- ide, magnesium bisglycinate was found to be fifty percent (50%) more absorbable. inorganic forms of magnesium, such as magnesium oxide, magnesium chloride or magnesium carbonate, can cause diarrhea at high doses. diarrhea can lead to a serious depletion of minerals.

CanPrev's Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 200 provides the most preferred form of magnesium for the maintenance of health.

    Effectiveness: 9/10
    Value:8/10

    (+) Boosts Energy,Convenient,Easy To Take,First Dose Results,Reduced My Pain,A must for everyone.

    How did you use it?:Everyday,Before Bed

    "Magnesium Bisglycinate works fast, is vital to take and I won't be without it. It's hard to get enough magnesium in our diets, so this supplement works very well. It quickly takes away muscle spasms and cramps, helps me to sleep, loosens tight muscles (saving money with the chiropractor and massage therapist) and calms my system down. This particular magnesium penetrates the blood brain barrier and helps to calm my over active mind so I can sleep too. Great product."

  • 9.1/10  Very Satisfied with my first Vitamart purchase

    (+) Easy To Take,Good Value

    How did you use it?:Before Bed

    "I am very Satisfied with my purchase of CanPrev's Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 200. My magnesium levels were low so my doctor suggested I take this supplement. A health store suggested this brand and I continue to use it because I have nothing negative to say about it. The vegetable capsule is easy to swallow and I enjoy it's health benefits, with no side effects, bowel issues etc.

    The health store was too expensive so I found Vitamart and the pills were such a good price. I was pleased to find out that a free sample came along with my purchase. My package arrived safely and quickly along with a handwritten note welcoming me to the Vitamart family which was such a nice, personal touch. And now, after using the product for over a month, I received an opportunity to review my purchase. In my opinion, Vitamart takes all the steps I look for in a successful, customer driven business. I will definitely buy from them again and fingers crossed I will continue to receive the same quality service."

    Effectiveness: 9/10
    Value:9/10

    (+) Boosts Energy,Convenient,Easy To Take,Good Value

    How did you use it?:Before Bed,Between Meals,Every Morning

    "I started taking the Magnesium Bisclynate this winter just for general supplementation and it yielded a pretty profound effect on my mood, energy level, as well as sleep patterns. I occasionally experience mild Seasonal Affective Disorder during the winter months, which can put a small damper on my energy levels during greyer days. But soon after I began taking the magnesium, the boost in overall energy levels was pretty noticeable. And as someone who has a considerable number of hobbies and interests in my off hours, this gave me the very welcome second wind I needed after work to work on stuff I love.
    Another interesting side effect — it improved the quality of my sleep. The magnesium seemed to have a calming effect that settled down my racing mind enough to help me fall asleep as soon as I hit the pillow.
    I’ve heard people complain about intestinal upset after taking magnesium, but I didn’t experience this, which could be due to the gentler formulation.
    My dosage: I took three cap"

  • 9.1/10  Wonderful stuff!

    Effectiveness: 9/10
    Value:10/10

    (+) Convenient,Easy To Take,First Dose Results
    (-)  Pills Are Big

    How did you use it?:Before Bed

    "Until I started taking magnesium, I would be up several times in the night, frequently unable to get back to sleep. Also, getting to sleep was a frequent chore. If I was lucky, I'd get 4-5 hours of sleep a night...for MANY years. Also, the pain from cramps in my legs and feet, would wake me, setting me off on another night of even worse sleep. Then I was diagnosed with restless leg syndrome!
    I've been taking Mg glycinate (bis-glycinate) for about 3 years now, and wouldn't trade it for anything! Now, I rarely have trouble falling asleep, and if I do get up in the night, I can fall right back to sleep most of the time. My leg and feet cramps are gone, and unless I'm over tired, I don't have the sensation of worms crawling under my skin from my restless legs.
    I'm a Nurse Practitioner and I tell everyone I see who has difficulty sleeping to try Mg glycinate, and if it doesn't work for them, I'd buy it off them. I have yet to have anyone come sell me their bottle!"
