Douglas Laboratories Magnesium Aspartate

• Douglas Laboratories Magnesium Aspartate delivers 100 mg of elemental magnesium in its most bioavailable aspartate form.

• Magnesium is a mineral with a fundamentally important physiological function in the body. However, typical diets in the U.S. and other industrialized countries often provide less than adequate amounts of magnesium.

• Supplementation with Douglas Laboratories Magnesium Aspartate bioavailable aspartate salts of this mineral can help bridge the gap between dietary intake and optimal requirement.*

• Magnesium plays an essential role in a wide range of fundamental cellular reactions. More than 300 enzymes require magnesium as a cofactor.

• Complexed with adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main carrier of metabolic energy in the body, magnesium is essential for all biosynthetic processes: glycolysis, formation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), energy-dependent membrane transport, transmission of genetic code for protein synthesis, and muscle function.

• Magnesium is also involved in maintaining normal heart function and blood pressure. Two-thirds of the body' magnesium content is located in the skeleton. Recent scientific studies show that magnesium supplementation of ovariectomized animals, a model for postmenopal women, not only promotes bone formation while increasing its dynamic strength but also prevents bone resorption.

• The aspartate salt used in Douglas Labs Magnesium Aspartate is a highly absorbed and well-tolerated form of magnesium. Aspartic acid is a natural amino acid which occurs widely as a constituent of food proteins. In the body, aspartic acid is involved in energy production as an intermediate in the Krebs cycle.

• Douglas Laboratories Magnesium Aspartate may be a useful nutritional supplement for individuals who wish to increase their dietary intake of magnesium.
