Life Extension – Magnesium Caps
Essential Mineral for Cardiovascular Health
Dietary Supplement
Many Americans do not obtain adequate amounts of magnesium in their diets.
Magnesium is one of the body’s most important minerals. It is required as a cofactor in hundreds of enzymatic processes within cells. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, promotes healthy cardiovascular function, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps maintain blood sugar and blood pressure levels already within normal range, and it is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis.
Magnesium is a major factor in relaxing the smooth muscles within the blood vessels, thereby reducing peripheral vascular resistance and promoting a healthy cardiovascular system. Magnesium also affects circulating levels of norepinephrine and the synthesis of serotonin and nitric oxide.
Magnesium positively influences the bone mineral matrix and its ability to metabolize minerals needed for repair and rebuilding. Scientific literature documents the need for a wide range of minerals, including calcium and magnesium, that are vital to maintaining strong, healthy bones.
Moreover, there is strong evidence that dietary magnesium intake and supplementation improves the metabolic profile. Magnesium has been shown to beneficially impact insulin resistance, serum lipid profiles, inflammation, endothelial function, oxidative stress and platelet aggregability.

This is the FIRST TIME I have not gotten the product quality that I expected in all of the time I have been ordering from Ecosupplements. I ordered Life Extension Magnesium Caps 500mg due to what was listed in the Supplement Facts on the Ecosupplements web page. It states that there are four types of magnesium in the product, the last being TRAACS® magnesium lysyl glycinate chelate. This is the second time I have ordered this, and both times, in the Supplement Facts printed on the label of my bottle, it does not mention the TRAACS lysyl glycinate chelate as an ingredient. There are only three types of magnesium listed there: oxide, citrate, and succinate, with no lysyl glycinate chelate. Apparently it is not contained in the product that is being currently shipped out. If you receive this product, look and make sure that it contains all of the types of magnesium stated on the Supplement Facts. Even though I am disappointed that the supplement does not contain what is listed online, I am still a great fan of Ecosupplements, and will continue to recommend the company to my friends.

Magnesium is one of my mainstays – capsule, powder, topically with Mag Oil that I make. Very effective, works like a charm on leg cramps, for sleep, for nervous system. Great product.
