MagRes™ (previously called MagX-B) is a cutting edge formulation combining two distinct, high quality forms of Magnesium, as well as Resveratrol plus a patented, plant based form of Boron called FruiteX-B^®. Magnesium deficiency is commonplace throughout the population, and Magnesium supplementation can play a vital role in promoting optimal health. Because Magnesium is a co-factor for over 300 metabolic enzymes, it acts like a spark plug for the machinery of cellular metabolism.* The virtues of MagRes include its ability to support and maintain:

Magnesium Supports:

Why do nutritionists often refer to Magnesium as the "magnificent mineral"? Because Magnesium has a high magnitude of importance on health and longevity. Magnesium plays key roles in the maintenance of bone health*, cardiovascular function*, already normal blood sugar control and more.*

Bone Health

Next to Calcium and Phosphorus, Magnesium is the third most important mineral in the human skeleton.* The results of a study assessing the importance of Magnesium for bone health found that higher intakes of this mineral from the diet and dietary supplements was a predictor of higher bone mineral density in white males and females. The large study assessed 2,038 men and women between 70 and 79 years of age. Again, no surprise: the density and strength of adult bones increases as daily Magnesium intake increases.

Cardiovascular Function and Heart Health

The beneficial longevity-enhancing effects of Magnesium on the heart and cardiovascular system are well documented. This has been demonstrated clearly in the results of a 10-year study of over 14,000 adult men published recently in Environmental Health Perspectives. The investigators found that as daily Magnesium intake increased, the health of the heart also increased, confirming a large body of existing evidence. In fact, several studies suggest that a daily intake of at least 400 mg of Magnesium powerfully supports healthy cardiovascular function with age.*

Maintaining Already Normal Blood Sugar Levels

Adequate magnesium intake is required for maintenance of stable blood sugar levels. As dietary magnesium intake goes up, the efficiency of glucose storage by muscle cells increases.* This principle was demonstrated in the results of a study published recently in which elevated magnesium status was associated with healthy blood sugar control in children. Of course, the healthier our blood sugar management is, the healthier we will be. The link between healthy magnesium nutrition and healthy blood glucose regulation is underscored by the results of analyses of the data obtained from the 85,060 female nurses participating in the Nurses' Health Study, the 39,345 women participating in the Women's Health Study and the 42,872 men participating in the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study – those individuals who regularly consumed at least 400 mg of magnesium daily had significantly better blood sugar regulation in conjunction with their dietary practices.

FruiteX-B^® Boron for Healthy Bones and Joints*

A British scientist in the late 20th century looked at data from several countries and realized that joint and bone health are adversely affected by modern agricultural and food processing practices. Specifically, he was concerned about lower amounts of the element Boron in our food supply. MagRes™ includes FruiteX-B^®, a patented Boron/Calcium complex that has been shown to support normal Vitamin D metabolism, maintain joint comfort and flexibility, and promote healthy bones.* Pilot clinical studies described improvement in Vitamin D status and more freedom of movement—an expression of joint function—in subjects consuming FruiteX-B^®.

Resveratrol a Multi-Talented Phytonutrient

Renowned for its healthy aging properties, Resveratrol dynamically supports the health of the circulatory and cardiovascular systems, as well as supporting healthy energy levels, endurance and stamina.* First discovered in 1940, Resveratrol is a standout among phytonutrients-beneficial bio-molecules in plants-with more than 4,000 research studies describing its effects on physiology. Classified along with bioflavonoids as a "polyphenol", Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant that outperforms most other plant-based flavonoids. Resveratrol boosts the function of enzymes in the body that help tamp down the impact of oxidative stress on tissues, which can elevate when free radicals build up to excess.*

Take Resveratrol to Heart*

Scientific investigation about Resveratrol's importance for cardiovascular health has led to a deeper understanding of its extraordinary cellular effects. Resveratrol has been shown to interact with cell membrane receptors that maintain dynamic function of the cardiovascular system. Among its more significant actions, Resveratrol appears to support a key enzyme that stimulates production of nitric oxide in blood vessel linings. This in turn promotes relaxation of blood vessels and healthy circulation.*

Vitamin D

Vitamin D's influence on key biological functions vital to one's health and well-being mandates that vitamin D supplementation can no longer be ignored by individuals striving to achieve and maintain a greater state of health. Traditionally recognized as an essential vitamin for bones and teeth, vitamin D is now the subject of an explosion of research showing that Vitamin D plays an important role in the function of our immune system as well as bone health and cardiovascular support.*
