High Absorption Magnesium Supplement

Overview
The value of Magnesium supplements is dependent upon both their absorption efficiency and bioavailability. The U.S. RDI for Magnesium was established with the understanding that this mineral was absorbed with an estimated efficiency of about 30%. For instance, the RDI for Magnesium is 400mg. This means, under desired optimal conditions with 400mg of Magnesium in the diet, we should absorb 120mg. It is this amount, the 120mg of absorbed Magnesium, that has been deemed to be the amount that is necessary to fulfill our basic metabolic needs.

InterPlexus provides mineral complexes that:

• Have fractionaly absorption efficiencies of 80% or better (see FIGURE 1)
• Are natural, organic complexes
• Are readily metabolized
• Provide significant potencies

Bioavailability
The bioavailability of Magnesium, either from food or a mineral supplement determines to a large degree, its value to us. A brief examination of the accompanying chart will illustrate the great differences in absorption of Magnesium from various sources. It is important to note that this same absorption disparity is also true for many other minerals including Calcium.

FuraMag™
Each capsule of Furamag™ supplies 140mg of elemental Magnesium as Magnesium Fumarate. With an absorption efficiency of 80%, just one capsule of Furamag™ will provide about 110mg of bioavailable Magnesium. Therefore, two capsules will provide us with 220mg of Magnesium of 180% of RDI equivalence, based on absorption. The Fumarate part of Magnesium Fumarate is a low molecular weight organic salt which is metabolized with great efficiency in the Krebs' cycle, perhaps our most fundamental energy-releasing pathway.

Note: FuraMag™ contains Magnesium Fumarate.
