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 body temperature, neurological functioning, 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.

Unfortunately, inadequate levels of magnesium have been linked to electrolyte imbalances. Magnesium is an important source of electrolytes that assist the body’s energy metabolism and muscle functioning. In addition, magnesium helps support over 300 enzyme reactions that play a role in many aspects of one’s overall health. In regard to bone health, it is an important component of the mineralized part of bone and supports the normal metabolism of calcium and potassium in adults. Magnesium also supports muscle development and movement and the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles. Studies clearly demonstrate the effects of supplemental magnesium on muscular health. Adequate magnesium levels are also important for cardiovascular health. Studies show magnesium supports a regular heartbeat, thus promoting healthy heart muscle functioning.

The recommended daily value for adults is 400 mg of magnesium. However, the average daily intake is 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. One reason why people are getting less magnesium through their diet than in the past is current-day agricultural-practices that result in soil deficiency: When the soil loses adequate levels of magnesium so does our food. Isotonix Magnesium provides the body with a highly bioavailable formula which includes two different types of magnesium to increase its absorption by the body.

Isotonix Delivery


Isotonix - the World's Most Advanced Nutraceuticals

Isotonic, which means “same pressure,” bears the same chemical resemblance of the body’s blood, plasma and tears. All fluids in the body have a certain concentration, referred to as osmotic pressure. The body’s common osmotic pressure, which is isotonic, allows a consistent maintenance of body tissues. In order for a substance to be absorbed and used in the body’s metabolism, it must be transported in an isotonic state. Isotonix dietary supplements are delivered in an isotonic solution. This means that the body has less work to do to in obtaining great absorption. The isotonic state of the suspension allows 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.

Key Ingredients

Magnesium (Citrate & Glycinate)
Magnesium is a component of the mineralized part of bone and supports the normal metabolism of potassium and calcium in adults. It helps maintain normal levels of potassium, phosphorus, calcium, adrenaline and insulin. It also promotes the normal mobilization of calcium, transporting it inside the cell for further utilization. It plays a key role in supporting the normal functioning of muscle and nervous tissue. Magnesium promotes the normal synthesis of all proteins, nucleic acids, nucleotides, cyclic adenosine monophosphate, lipids and carbohydrates. Magnesium is required for the release of energy and promotes the normal regulation of body temperature and proper nerve function, it helps the body handle stress, and it promotes a healthy metabolism. Magnesium works together with calcium to help maintain the normal regulation of the heart and blood pressure. Importantly, magnesium also supports the body’s ability to build healthy bones and teeth and promotes proper muscle development. It works together with calcium and vitamin D to help keep bones strong. Magnesium also promotes cardiovascular health by supporting normal platelet activity and helping to maintain normal cholesterol levels. 

Potassium (Bicarbonate)
Potassium is an electrolyte that is stored in muscles. Foods rich in potassium include bananas, oranges, cantaloupe, avocado, raw spinach, cabbage and celery. Potassium is an essential macromineral that helps maintain fluid balance in the body. It also supports a wide variety of biochemical and physiological processes. Among other things, potassium supports the normal transmission of nerve impulses; contraction of cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle; synthesis of nucleic acids; maintenance of intracellular tonicity; and maintenance of normal blood pressure. In 1928, it was first suggested that high potassium intake could help maintain cardiovascular health. Potassium supports normal muscle relaxation and insulin release. It also promotes glycogen and protein synthesis. Potassium is an electrolyte that promotes normal heartbeat. Potassium supports the body’s ability to regulate water balance, recover from exercise and eliminate wastes.



FAQs

FAQs
  1. How much magnesium should I be getting, and why do I need a magnesium supplement versus getting it from my normal diet?
    The recommended daily intake for adults, established by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, states that adult males between the ages of 19 and 30 should be receiving 400 mg of magnesium daily. Adult females of the same age should receive 310 mg daily. For older males, the recommendation is 420 mg daily, while older females should consume 320 mg daily. Daily lifestyle factors and poor dietary choices adversely affect the amount of magnesium we are ingesting. Foods rich in magnesium include whole grains, nuts and green vegetables, which are potent sources of magnesium because of their chlorophyll content. Meats, starches, dairy products and refined and processed foods — which make up a large portion of the typical diet in today’s society — contain low amounts of magnesium. High-fat diets not only provide lesser amounts of magnesium, but studies have shown that such a diet might even cause less magnesium to be absorbed by the body. Even with a proper, balanced diet, the amount of nutrients in foods today vastly differs from those of even a generation ago. In addition, food preparation methods may decrease the magnesium content of food. For these reasons, it is important to help balance our diets with nutritional supplements that can provide additional nutritional assistance.

  2. Why were these forms of magnesium (citrate and glycinate) chosen?
    Both forms of magnesium were carefully chosen based on the latest scientific rationale, as they have been shown to have excellent oral absorption rates and work well within the Isotonix® delivery system.

  3. What is the Isotonix delivery system, and how does it work?
    An isotonic solution (isotonic means “same pressure”) bears the same chemical resemblance of the body’s blood, plasma and tears. All fluids in the body have a certain concentration, referred to as osmotic pressure. The body’s common osmotic pressure, which is isotonic, allows consistent maintenance of body tissues. For a substance to be absorbed and used in the body’s metabolism, it must be transported in an isotonic state. 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.

  4. Does this product need to be taken on an empty stomach?
    Yes. For maximum absorption, the product should be taken on an empty stomach.

  5. Is there anyone who should not take this product?
    Anyone who has an ongoing medical condition, is pregnant or breastfeeding, or is taking prescription medication should speak with their health care provider before taking this product. Also, magnesium should be used cautiously by those with reduced kidney function.

  6. What other health and nutrition products would complement Isotonix Magnesium?
    The benefits of Isotonix Magnesium are complemented by Isotonix OPC-3®, Isotonix Calcium Plus, Isotonix Vitamin K2 with D3 and Heart Health™ Omega III Fish Oil with Vitamin E.

  7. What is the best way to store this product?
    Keep Isotonix stored in a dry, cool place. If Isotonix products are stored in the kitchen, keep them away from the stove, sink, heat-generating appliances or window ledges. If you live in a very humid area, you may store Isotonix products in the refrigerator, but not in the fruit and vegetables area.

Quality Sleep and Wake up Easier

I have a problem prioritizing time to sleep at night due to a busy schedule. I fall asleep fine, but I wake up extremely groggy and tired I dont want to leave bed. This Magnesium allows me to have restful and quality sleep with the same amount of time asleep. My goal now is to sleep a couple hours longer and have quality sleep the whole time so I can get up in the morning and start my day easier.
