You often hear that 300 enzymes are dependent on magnesium to function. That is false. Magnesium is responsible for over 3700 enzymatic functions in the body. We have a little over 9,000 enzymes that run our body, so that breaks down to 42% of your enzymes being magnesium dependent. Oxidative stress is caused by a myriad of factors: nutritional deficiencies, environmental pollutants and toxins, psychological and emotional stress all drains our magnesium and increases the "magnesium burn rate" (MBR); this is the speed at which we use up magnesium. Magnesium is our buffer against these stressors and chemical insults. If our bodies need to support their repair processes better, then they will burn through magnesium faster too. Certain heavy metals can compete and reduce the available magnesium too, effectively neutralizing our body's regenerative capacity. It is indisputable that magnesium is the #1 mineral that decreases when we're stressed, followed by sodium and potassium. This is why electrolytes are so important. They also help maintain the electric charge of our bodies. The current state of our soil (with conventional practices wiping out microbes, fungi and fulvic acid) makes it nearly impossible to get enough magnesium from our food. Mag-ATP is a combination of two forms of amino acid bound magnesium: magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium taurate. Many people are taking forms of magnesium found in multi-mineral supplements. The magnesium is being canceled out by calcium and also canceled out by vitamin D3 and many others. The form of magnesium Mitolife uses also supports the ability for that magnesium to come inside of cells and be immediately available to mitochondria and DNA. In turn, mitochondrial biogenesis (the formation of new mitochondria), occurs. As well as more effective DNA repair. In fact, without magnesium, DNA repair enzymes cannot work. SUGGESTED USAGE: A serving size of Mag-ATP (3 capsules) provides 300 mg of absorbable magnesium. It is ideal to take them with food but they can be taken at any time. The laxative effect that is common with many magnesium products is less common with these amino acid bound forms.
