Mag Cardio
For persons with known cardiac health issues
For persons with known cardiac
health issues, a targeted
formula known as MagCardio is
also available. MagCardio
exclusively contains the
chelazome form of magnesium
found to be highly beneficial to
support the function of the
heart. For persons in this
situation, and in general,
consultation with your health
practitioner is advised to
provide guidelines for optimal
personal use of minerals.
Description:
Cardiac health is vitally dependent on
magnesium. Deficiency of magnesium may
reduce relaxation of the heart and
predispose to diastolic hypertension.
Deficiency may increase contraction of
arterial muscle that can contribute to
systolic
Additional Info
Deficiency may increase contraction of arterial muscle that can
contribute to systolic hypertension, and in
more severe cases to spasm of the arteries
that can cause heart attacks. Serious and
even life threatening abnormal heart rhythms
have resulted from magnesium deficiency, as
magnesium is required for normal electrical
conduction in the heart. Because cardiac
medications such as diuretics can cause
severe magnesium depletion and aggravate
these risks, it is especially important to
supply adequate magnesium in this setting.
Sufficient delivery of bioavailable
magnesium for persons with cardiac
conditions may be life saving.

Magnesium is of therapeutic value in
treating a myriad of symptoms and health
conditions: • Anxiety & panic attacks •
Hypoglycemia
• Asthma • Insomnia
• Blood clots • Kidney disease
• Bowel disease • Migraine
• Cystitis • Musculoskeletal conditions
• Depression • Nerve problems
• Obgyn problems • Toxicity
• Diabetes • Osteoporosis
• Fatigue • Raynaud's syndrome
• Heart disease • Tooth decay
• Hypertension
The type of magnesium chelate used in
MagCardio™ is a L-lysine and L-glycine
blend, known as a chelazome. This is the
specific form that was used for cardiac
patients to improve their exercise endurance
and reduce their need for cardiac
medication. MagCardio™ has been further
enhanced with a laser process that can
increase uniformity of shape and give an
even greater boost to bioavailability.
Are There Tests to Prove Magnesium
Deficiency? Although "total serum (blood)
magnesium testing" and "red and white blood
cell magnesium testing" can be used, these
tests are not completely accurate as they do
not measure the amount of magnesium held in
other parts of the body. The most important
consideration is that significant depletion
in the cell may be present even if the blood
test gives a level in the normal range.
Magnesium depletion in the cell must be
severe before blood tests will show a
reduced magnesium level. However, even with
this criterion, studies have still shown up
to a 65% prevalence of magnesium deficiency.
The option of a "blood ionized magnesium
test" involves a very refined procedure and
may be considered the most accurate and
reliable blood test available. Magnesium
ions constitute the physiologically active
fraction on magnesium in the body - they are
not attached to other substances and are
free to join in biochemical body processes.
With the blood ionized magnesium test,
ion-selective electrodes are used to
directly measure the levels of magnesium
ions in whole blood, plasma and serum.
Using intracellular testing, typically of
cells swabbed from the inside of the mouth,
has shown magnesium deficiency in over 90%
of persons tested. This kind of testing is
known as "the buccal cell smear test". The
total mineral levels in the buccal cells
correlate with the results from white blood
cells and red blood cells. Analysis is
performed using scanning electron microscopy
(SEM) and elemental X-ray analysis (EXA).
Similarly to the red and white blood cell
magnesium testing, the only downfall of
buccal smear testing is that is doesn't
measure active, free magnesium ions.
For many people, including those who do
not have easy access to the ionized blood
test or even the buccal cell smear test, it
will be far more practical to observe for
any of the many symptoms of magnesium
depletion and observe if improvement occurs
with appropriate supplementation.
Because of the widespread deficiency of
magnesium due to inadequate intake, stress
and lifestyle factors, and even medications,
magnesium supplementation of amino acid
chelates can be strongly recommended for
almost everyone.
Suggested Usage:
For MagCardio™, 6 capsules a day are
recommended, divided into 3 capsules twice
daily. Higher amounts than these are only to
be used with physician guidance.
Additionally, the fastest method to track
the progress of re-mineralizing the body,
and the only highly reliable one for
magnesium, is intracellular mineral testing.
This is done from a swab of the lining of
the mouth.
