Magnesium is a critical ion, regulating nerve and muscle cell function. It also is a co-factor for many enzymes of the energy extraction system, and protein synthesis pathways. The adult RDA is 300-350 mg/day. It is actively and passively absorbed. If active transport fails, dietary requirements rise sharply, analogous to calcium absorption problems. Deficiency symptoms begin with nausea, loss of appetite, edema, fatigue, and progress to major neurological symptoms- tremors, disordered movement, convulsions, and coma. Magnesium and calcium deficiency may predispose to sudden death from cardiac arrhythmia's and is most likely to occur with diuretic therapies for hypertension and heart disease. Magnesium supplementation should be considered for every patient on diuretics, and patients with a high risk of heart attacks. Magnesium supplements in the range of 250 -500 mg/day are desirable Alpha OMX;
Alpha OMX is carefully formulated blend of nutrients essential for bone growth and maintenance. All bone nutrients work together to strengthen none as it grows and to maintain bone strength as we age. The key nutrients for bone health are calcium, magnesium, Vitamin D, zinc, copper and manganese. This formula was designed with women in mind because bone thinning has become a major health problem for aging women. Some research suggest that bone nutrient intake in teenage girls is an important determinant of bone health in later life. Women of all ages can benefit from nutrient supplementation. Bone nutrients will also help men to achieve optimal bone health. The formula can be used to supplement the diets of children who are at risk of mineral or vitamin D deficiency and will prevent rickets.
