FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />

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 />
