Alpha OMX is designed |
Magnesium is
a critical ion, regulating nerve and muscle cell function. It also is a
co-factor for many enzymes of the energy extraction system, and protein
synthesis pathways. The adult RDA is 300-350 mg/day. It is actively and
passively absorbed. If active transport fails, dietary requirements rise
sharply, analogous to calcium absorption problems. Deficiency symptoms
begin with nausea, loss of appetite, edema, fatigue, and progress to major
neurological symptoms- tremors, disordered movement, convulsions, and
coma. Magnesium and calcium deficiency may predispose to sudden death from cardiac arrhythmia's and is most likely to occur with diuretic therapies for hypertension and heart disease. Magnesium supplementation should be considered for every patient on diuretics, and patients with a high risk of heart attacks. Magnesium supplements in the range of 250 -500 mg/day are desirable Alpha OMX;
Alpha OMX is carefully formulated blend of nutrients essential for bone growth and maintenance. All bone nutrients work together to strengthen none as it grows and to maintain bone strength as we age. The key nutrients for bone health are calcium, magnesium, Vitamin D, zinc, copper and manganese. |
