MAG MALATE RENEW FOR FIBROMYALGIA SUPPORT.
Mag Malate Renew is an active combination for fibromyalgia (FM) support. It
contains active magnesium malate, a potent muscle relaxing mineral. Malic
acid is a key intermediate in energy production in muscles via the TCA
cycle, while magnesium stabilizes ATP. Research supports their use in
reducing the symptoms of fibromyalgia. [VCAPS]

Fibromyalgia:
is a common clinical syndrome of generalized muscular pain, stiffness and
chronic aching. It is characterized by reproducible tenderness on
palpitation of specific anatomical sites called tender points. Other
prominent symptoms include headaches, short term memory loss, forgetfulness,
depression, sleep disturbances, mild fevers or chills, sore throat, and
painful lymph nodes in the neck. White, middle aged (30- to 50-year old)
women are much more likely to suffer fibromyalgia than are men.
How your body uses energy
When your body takes in energy from food, it cannot use it directly, just as
you can't use burning coal or a spinning windmill to directly operate a food
processor. Instead, food energy must first be converted into a useable form:
adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the "univeral energy currency." Low levels of
ATP, and abnormalities in the glycolytic cycle, are commonly are found in
people suffering with fibromyalgia, and are believed to play a significant
role in the physical and mental symptoms of the disease. Restoring cellular
ATP levels is therefore crucial to digging your way out of the pit of this
debilitating disorder.
Magnesium
Magnesium plays a critical role in the production and stabilization of ATP.
It activates almost all the enzymes of the glycolytic and the tricarboxylic
acid (TCA) cycle, which transform fats and sugars into useable energy.
Without magnesium, ATP is quickly broken down into the low-energy adenosine
diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate, which cannot deliver energy for
cell metabolism and transport. It is also needed for the very structure of
mitochondria, the cell's "power plants:" magnesium defiency causes swelling
and disruption of the cristae (the folds in the inner mitochondrial
membrane, where oxidative phosphorylation of ADP into ATP occurs) and leads
to a decreased number of mitochondria per cell. Maintaining adequate ATP
levels is critical to brain function. The brain stores 20% of total body
ATP. Low levels of ATP may cause a decline in cognitive function - the
"brain fog" so commonly reported, in which victims find themselves
struggling through a dark haze, unable to concentrate and often forgetting
simple thoughts and tasks.
Lack of ADP
A lack of ATP is also thought responsible for the muscle weakness and pain
that accompanies the disease. Here again, magnesium is crucial for adequate
muscle metabolism and function. In magnesium deficiency, there is excessive
muscle tension, leading to muscle spasms, restlessness, tics, and twitches.
Also, histochemical studies in muscle show that the tender points in
fibromyalgia victims' muscles are deficient in ATP. Additionally, magnesium
modulates the ion channels which regulate key nerve receptors (such as those
for the 5HT3 serotonin receptor and N-mehtyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), which are
involved in the neurological aspects of fibromyalgic pain.
Malic Acid
Malic Acid has an important role in generation of mitochondrial ATP, both
under aerobic and hypoxic (low-oxygen) conditions. Under aerobic conditions,
the malate is converted into oxaloacetate by the TCA energy cycle, providing
electrons to the electron transport chain for oxidative phosphorylation of
ADP through the malate-aspartate shuttle. Under anaerobic conditions,
however, the electrons from sugars cannot be processed in the early
glycolytic stages of energy production, and instead build up in the cytosol
and inhibit glycolysis and normal cellular metabolism. Here again, malate
can help, by removing cytosolic reducing equivilents through either
reduction to succinate or oxidation to oxaloacetate, thereby reversing the
inhibition of glycolysis. This process yeilds three molecules of ATP.
In animal experiments, malate has been shown to increase anaerobic
endurance, as measured by increased swimming times. Malic acid is the only
metabolite of the citric acid cycle which correlates positively with
physical activity: experimental studies show that exercise-induced
mitochondrial respiration is associated with increased malate levels only;
other TCA metabolites remain unchanged. As well, malic acid is a potent
aluminum chelator.
Two open trials have reported significant reductions in measurements of
myalgic pain, as assessed by tender point index, in fibromyalgia victims
supplementing with magnesium and malic acid. The dosages have ranged from
300 to 600 mg of magnesium and 1200 to 2400 mg of malate, with most symptoms
improving in approximately eight weeks. |

Mag Malate Renew is a Great Product
by

Recommends it to Friends:
Yes
I did not buy this because I have Fibromyalgia, I bought this to stop muscle cramps mostly at night.
This product has also helped me to reduce my weight by helping my body better metabolize Carbs,proteins, and fats.
I am on my second bottle of AOR Mag Malate Renew and will continue to buy this, it works great for me.
