Superior new magnesium<br />
offers more health benefits!<br />
Magnesium deficiency is widespread with<br />
researchers estimating up to 90% are not<br />
receiving adequate magnesium in their diet.<br />
According to medical researcher Dr. James<br />
DiNicolantonio magnesium deficiency<br />
increases the risk of numerous types of<br />
cardiovascular and other diseases, costing<br />
nations around the world an incalculable<br />
amount of healthcare costs and suffering, and<br />
should be considered a public health crisis.<br />
Some of the typical signs of a magnesium<br />
deficiency are: muscle cramps – especially<br />
in the legs, muscle spasms and twitches,<br />
fatigue, high blood pressure, poor<br />
circulation, sore – heavy or uncomfortable<br />
legs, irregular heart-beat, muscle and back<br />
pain, insomnia, headaches, migraines and<br />
anxiety. Sub-optimal magnesium levels are<br />
also associated with many diseases including<br />
diabetes, asthma, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s,<br />
cardiovascular, ADHD and kidney.<br />
There are many popular magnesium<br />
supplements on the market, however most<br />
use low cost sources of magnesium that are<br />
also poorly absorbed offering little benefit.<br />
Seeing the serious impact on health that<br />
low magnesium levels are having a New<br />
Zealand company “Biosphere Nutrition”<br />
have developed a new magnesium that offers<br />
superior absorption and more health benefits<br />
compared to most other products available.<br />
Biosphere Magnesium has been created to<br />
be the cleanest, most bioavailable magnesium<br />
supplement available. It combines three<br />
types of the most bioavailable forms of<br />
magnesium to create the ideal dose with<br />
optimal absorption. Each serving provides<br />
a therapeutic dose of 400mg elemental<br />
magnesium to help people maintain<br />
optimum magnesium levels. It is also easy<br />
to take as it comes as a great tasting, easy to<br />
mix powder that is also free of binders, fillers<br />
and artificial ingredients. It is flavoured with<br />
a natural lemon flavour and sweetened with<br />
natural stevia and monk fruit extracts and<br />
coloured with a dash of turmeric.<br />
Magnesium Citrate is the first of the three<br />
magnesium’s. Biosphere have used a natural<br />
marine based magnesium citrate as it has a<br />
great absorption rate and mixes well with<br />
water.<br />
Next is Magnesium Lyscinate Glycinate<br />
Chelate a stable magnesium designed to be<br />
the most bioavailable possible as well as easy<br />
on the stomach.<br />
The last is Di Magnesium Malate a<br />
fantastic form of magnesium for people<br />
suffering from fatigue, since malic acid is<br />
a vital component of enzymes that play<br />
a key role in ATP synthesis and energy<br />
production.<br />
Optimal magnesium levels have been<br />
shown to: Improve Energy, Improve<br />
Sleep, Normalise Blood Pressure, Control<br />
Inflammation, Reduce Pain, Regulate Blood<br />
Sugar, Stop Cramping, Support Normal<br />
Nerve and Muscle Function, Support Healthy<br />
Bones and Help Maintain Good Health.<br />

detailed information is available from<br />
