Additional information

Magnesium is essential for many cellular functions, particularly those functions involved in energy production, and for the normal functioning of muscle and nerve tissue. Signs of low magnesium levels can include fatigue, mental confusion, irritability, muscle cramps, problems with nerve conduction and muscle contraction, insomnia and predisposition to stress.

If the blood is low in magnesium it takes it from the muscles and without enough magnesium in muscles they stiffen up or contract. The result may be painful cramps, irritability, twitching or even tremors. Some people may develop muscle cramps at rest, while others develop them at night, along with a difficulty sleeping. Magnesium may help to relieve night leg cramps and helps all muscles in the body to function optimally.

One third of Australians over 18 years do not get their recommended daily intake of magnesium and a deficiency may be exacerbated by stress, strenuous exercise and poor absorption. Blackmores Magnesium Powder contains a highly absorbable form of magnesium to enhance cellular uptake.

Blackmores Magnesium Powder also contains a range of other ingredients including amino acids which are important for energy production, muscle function and repair:

Taurine plays a role in maintaining healthy cardiovascular function

Glutamine - Exhaustive exercise or intense training sessions decrease glutamine in the blood.

L-carnitine is required for cellular energy production.

Vitamin C, folate and B12 are involved in the maintenance and repair of muscle tissue

B vitamins are involved in the production of energy from food. Exercise may increase the need for B complex vitamins.

Chromium helps to maintain normal glucose metabolism and balance sugar levels in the body.
