Magnesium Asporotate by Solaray is a highly advanced magnesium supplement in a special herb base. Magnesium is needed for bone, protein, and fatty acid formation, making new cells, activating B vitamins, relaxing muscles, clotting blood, and forming ATPā€”the energy the body runs on. Insulin secretion and function also require magnesium. Magnesium also acts in a way related to calcium channel blocker drugs. This effect is responsible for the fact that magnesium has been found to improve vision in people with glaucoma. Similarly, this action accounts for magnesiums ability to lower blood pressure. Magnesium reduces hyperactivity in children. Other research suggests that some children with ADD have lowered levels of magnesium. Magnesium levels have been reported to be low in those with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) magnesium supplementation has improved symptoms in those people with CFS who had low magnesium levels. People with CFS considering magnesium supplementation should have their magnesium status checked beforehand by a nutritionally oriented doctor. Only people with magnesium deficiency benefit from this therapy.
