Magnesium is essential in over 800 different enzymatic functions in your body. It’s found throughout the body in our bones, hearts, muscles, and nerves, and works away inside every one of our cells. Its responsibilities include synthesizing DNA, RNA, and proteins, maintaining muscle function, creating cellular energy, and ensuring proper nerve function just to name a few. Magnesium is an essential mineral, meaning we need to continually replenish our body’s supply for it to carry out its important functions. Despite that, nearly half of Canadians aren’t getting enough. Magnesium deficiency can show up in various ways – stress, inflammation, mood changes, alterations in blood pressure, hindered endurance, migraine, fatigue, and muscle cramping among others. Magnesium citrate is formed when magnesium is bound with citric acid, an organic acid found naturally in citrus fruits. This form of magnesium is easily absorbed in your digestive tract to replenish magnesium levels in the body and in some cases, this form of magnesium is used to resolve constipation. CanPrev’s Magnesium Citrate+ is bound to citric and enhanced with magnesium malate to increase bioavailability, and each capsule offers 150mg of magnesium per capsule to help support better health.
