involved in many body functions as well as being a constituent of bones and
teeth.* It is an essential element of cellular metabolism and is an enzyme
activator.* Other body actions include: relaxing nerve impulses and muscle
contractions*; promoting relaxation and contributing to restful sleep.* Signs
and symptoms of magnesium deficiency can include fatigue, mental confusion,
irritability, weakness, muscle spasms, loss of appetite, difficulty sleeping or
a feeling of weakness. The Physicians Desk Reference for Nutritional
Supplements states that recent data of inpatient and outpatient populations
suggests that magnesium deficits may exist in 12% to 40% of individuals. There
are many different forms of magnesium, and no compelling data about absorption
differences. However, there are reported differences in how different forms
affect the gastrointestinal tract. Forms and functions of some of these
include: Oxide: tends to firm stools in some individuals and loosen stools in
others* Glycinate: a very gentle form of magnesium that is easier on the
system* Citrate: tends to loosen stools* Sulfate: tends to loosen stools*
Chloride: tends to loosen stools.* Individual results may vary. Your physician
should recommend the form thats right for you. Magnesium supplements usually
have their beginning as minerals that have been influenced by our environment. For
that reason, the purity of magnesium raw materials is important. Magnesium,
like calcium, can have undesirable impurities present. Kirkmans magnesium is
Ultra Tested, which means it is tested for more than 950 environmental
contaminants, the highest standard of purity testing in the world.
