Magnesium for blood pressure & diabetes, Dr. Perry Kritchmar

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. 

According to WebMD, people in the U.S. aren't eating enough foods with magnesium and has led to mild magnesium deficiency that could put them at risk for a number of diseases. They go on to say there's good evidence that eating foods high in magnesium and other minerals can lower blood pressure. Magnesium supplements may help some people with heart disease and osteoporosis. Type 2 diabetes is also associated with low magnesium.



My experience has been that my doctors and doctors of family members have not taken the time or have not known to check for underlying issues that cause blood pressure or diabetes. Low magnesium levels may be a cause of both. 

Studies show magnesium supports a regular heartbeat, thus promoting a healthy heart. Additionally, magnesium helps maintain normal blood pressure. Magnesium helps maintain normal blood pressure and helps maintain normal blood sugar levels.

The recommended daily value for adults is 400 mg of magnesium. I am partial to Isotonix Magnesium because the delivery system provides superior absorption. When an isotonic substance enters the body, it will be absorbed into the bloodstream rapidly. Isotonix dietary supplements are delivered in an isotonic solution, allowing nutrients to pass directly into the small intestine and be rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. With Isotonix products, little nutritive value is lost, making the absorption of nutrients highly efficient while delivering maximum results.
