The National Institutes of Health writes that magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and it is essential for good health. About 50 percent of total body magnesium is found in bone. The other 50 percent is found predominantly inside cells of body tissues and organs. Although only 1% of magnesium is found in blood, the body works very hard to keep blood levels of magnesium at a constant level. Science Daily has reported on May 5, 2013,  

Parents are typically advised to make certain their children drink milk and eat other calcium-rich foods in order to build strong bones. However, they also may be encouraged to make certain their kids eat salmon, almonds and other foods which are high in magnesium. Magnesium has been found to be another nutrient that may play an important role in bone health. Steven A. Abrams MD, has said, "Lots of nutrients are key for children to have healthy bones. One of these appears to be magnesium." Dr. Abrams has also said, "Calcium is important, but, except for those children and adolescents with very low intakes, may not be more important than magnesium."

Although it has been known that magnesium is important for bone health in adults, few studies have looked at whether magnesium intake and absorption are related to bone mineral content in young children. A new study has addressed the issue of the importance of magnesium for bone health in kids. The levels of calcium and magnesium in the children in this study were measured. The results showed that the amounts of magnesium consumed and absorbed were key predictors of how much bone children had. Dr. Abrams concluded, "We believe it is important for children to have a balanced, healthy diet with good sources of minerals, including both calcium and magnesium."

Isotonix® Magnesium

What Makes Isotonix® Magnesium Unique?

Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and supports more than 300 enzyme systems. It is required for energy, regulation of the body temperature, nerve function, adaptation to stress, metabolism and much more.

One of the main mechanisms of magnesium in the body is its support of normal protein synthesis. Normal protein synthesis relies on optimal magnesium concentrations, as magnesium supports the normal delivery to the building blocks of life – our DNA – of signals that trigger the expression of amino acids. In other words, this process supports the body’s normal ability to "make" proteins.

The recommended daily value for adults is 400 mg of magnesium. However, average daily intakes are much less. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that most U.S. adults – especially those over the age of 30 – were receiving, on average, approximately 290 mg of magnesium daily. That study also showed that dietary intake is particularly low among women.

Unfortunately, inadequate levels of magnesium have been linked to poorer concentration, memory and cognitive function and muscle discomfort. Sleep quality is associated with higher levels of magnesium and when these levels are low, sleep quality may suffer.

Isotonix Magnesium provides the body with 100 percent of the recommended daily value of magnesium in a highly-bioavailable formula. Thanks to its unique formula, which includes two different types of magnesium to increase its absorption by the body, Isotonix Magnesium helps maintain normal blood pressure and supports bone health and sleep quality, while promoting head comfort and optimal muscle health.
