Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health. Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, maintains steady heart rhythm, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong.
Naveh Pharma’s scientists are investigating the magnesium mineral for over 20 years. In 2012 we have found that organic magnesium salts form complexes of magnesium cannot be absorbed into the cells, therefore they are ineffective at combating magnesium deficiency. Most available magnesium supplements are composed of organic magnesium salts such as lactate, citrate, or aspartate.
Magnox is composed of unique magnesium molecule extracted from the Dead Sea in Israel and has been formulated based on this recent scientific breakthrough. Feedback from doctor and patients is extremely positive and sales are growing constantly by tens of percents each year widening the magnesium market to huge quantities and profits. The benefits of Magnox on vitality and body performance are immediate and profound.
About Magnesium – The Mineral of Life
Magnesium is a pivotal nutrient in over 300 enzyme reactions in the body ranging from energy production to cholesterol control. Large epidemiologic surveys show that most people in Western culture do not consume enough dietary magnesium. This magnesium deficiency contributes to an elevated risk for a number of diseases. According to US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 68% of Americans consumed less than the U.S. recommended daily allowance for magnesium. In addition, the study demonstrated that adults who were deficient in dietary magnesium were about 1.5 times more likely to have elevated inflammation markers than adults who consumed the recommended amount.
Approximately 50% of our total body magnesium is found in our bones. The other half is found predominantly inside the cells of our body tissues and organs. Only 1% of magnesium is found in our blood, but the body works very hard to keep our blood levels of magnesium constant, therefore a blood test for magnesium is not an indication of how much magnesium we have in our bodies at any given time (e.g. – whether an individual is suffering from hypo or hypermagnesemia).
Magnesium is absorbed primarily in the distal small intestine, and healthy people absorb approximately 30% to 40% of the magnesium they ingest (Knochel, 1991; White et al., 1992).
Since magnesium is predominately an intracellular cation (a positive ion), the effectiveness of any oral magnesium supplement is assessed by its solubility and rate of uptake from the small intestine into the bloodstream, and by its transformation into a free ion that absorbs into the cells of the tissues through a certain pathways in cell membranes. All if this is a complicated way of saying that a magnesium supplement has to be able to be absorbed by the cells of the body in order to be beneficial to the health of the individual taking it. Magnesium levels in the body are regulated by the kidneys (White et al., 1992). When magnesium levels in the blood are high, the kidneys will rapidly excrete the surplus.
Hypomagnesemia is common in hospitalized patients, especially in the elderly with coronary artery disease (CAD) and/or those with chronic heart failure.
There are theoretical potential benefits of magnesium supplementation as a Cardio-protective agent, as well as promising results from previous work in animal and humans. These studies are cost effective, easy to handle and are relatively free of adverse effects,
Magnox – Superior Compliance
The content of one molecule of Magnox contains 60% elemental magnesium. That fact enable to provide 520mg of elemental magnesium in one dose whereas, most available preparations, that must take many tablets a day prefer one daily thus, Magnox presents a much better compliance.
