InnoTech Liquid Ionic Magnesium (Raspberry) - 500ml

Magnesium is a very important mineral. It does a lot of things in the human body. The simplest way to explain it is that it is perhaps the body's  most important natural relaxant. It helps relax your muscles. It helps relax your nervous system and, as a result of that, you feel relaxed, at ease, and healthy.

Why is deficiency so common?
It's hard to get enough magnesium from your food, simple as that. You get a lot of magnesium from green, leafy vegetables, from nuts and seeds, and from legumes. But people who follow a typical western diet don't eat enough of these foods and so they don't get enough magnesium from their diet.

What are some benefits of taking it?
Resolution of muscle cramps and restless leg syndrome, headaches, and dramatic improvement in sleep. Dramatic recoveries using it are quite common because of its healing nature.

What are the best forms and why?
The best forms of it are based on the body's ability to absorb it and that depends on the ability of the body to release magnesium from the atom and the molecule it's attached to. It comes bound to other molecules and atoms such as citrates, carbonates, and glycinates and so, the easier it is to release that magnesium to make it available for absorption, the better the form. Some of the best forms include magnesium chloride, magnesium glycinate and perhaps the most ideal is when magnesium is not bound to anything.

Why shouldn’t people use magnesium oxide?
Because magnesium is bound tightly to oxygen and, because of that, the body cannot release it and make it available for absorption. It's great for alleviating constipation. It does that but it doesn't get absorbed by your body.

What is the recommended dosage?
The daily recommended intake is 320 milligrams for women and 420 milligrams for men and, a good, safe, therapeutic dose for magnesium supplements is anywhere between 150 to 200 milligrams once or twice a day. If need be, you can take more.

Can you get it from food?
It is very difficult to get enough from food these days simply because people don't eat sufficient amounts of the types of food that contain it. Foods that are healthy for you such as green, leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds and so on. People who follow standard, typical, western diet just don't acquire enough of it through their food.

What makes InnoTech's Liquid Ionic Magnesium different?
Magnesium is present in the solution, completely unbound to anything else, in its ionic form and it's readily absorbed. It goes in very quickly and does its job quickly too. If you're looking for quick results with a magnesium supplement, Ionic Magnesium can certainly provide that. It's particularly important with gastrointestinal compromise, people with gastrointestinal symptoms, gas reflux, and bloating. When you have these symptoms, you aren't likely digesting and absorbing your food well and so, under those conditions, specifically, unbound free ionic magnesium is able to get in through the intestinal wall into your body and do what it's meant to do.
