Magnesium Breakthrough Benefits

  1. Promotes Heart Health

    Magnesium is extremely important for heart health and blood vessel health. Correcting deficiency appears to improve heart health and reduce the risk of death, although it is unclear whether supplementation alone is sufficient to treat these conditions.

  2. Improves the Ability to Deal With Stress and Helps to Relax

    A magnesium supplement significantly reduces stress perception in people who are deficient in magnesium. Also, combined with vitamin B6 it was 40% more helpful than alone in very stressful situations. Findings support the need for magnesium supplementation for people living in conditions of chronic stress.

  3. Helps With Mood, Cognitive Function, and Mental Health

    A clinical trial showed that a magnesium supplement significantly improved mood after 2 weeks. Another trial found that magnesium supplements improved mood in seniors.

  4. Promotes Healthy Blood Sugar Control Already within Normal Range And Promotes Healthy Metabolism

    You need magnesium to provide healthy levels of insulin. Then, insulin needs magnesium to deliver signals to your cells. Once sugar is inside your cells, you need magnesium to effectively burn the sugar for energy.

    Magnesium is important for hormones that regulate blood sugar to function well. Therefore, a magnesium deficiency can contribute to suboptimal blood sugar control. Even when the blood sugar is normal, a supplement would still be necessary to achieve optimal levels.

    Magnesium participates in many biochemical reactions involved in breaking down stored fat and food for energy. So, a lack of magnesium can make your metabolism less efficient and you may find it harder to lose weight.

    A large-scale systematic and dose-response analysis found that magnesium supplementation seemed to help with weight loss, especially in the midsection. Women and those with suboptimal blood sugar control seemed to reap more weight loss benefits from magnesium. Participants seemed to weigh less and had smaller waist circumference if they took magnesium supplements.

    The drop in waistline was small (less than an inch for an obese person) but statistically significant in this study, suggesting that it could be even more powerful when combined with deliberate caloric deficit and exercise.

    Magnesium on its own doesn’t solve blood sugar problems or cause weight loss, but it can be highly beneficial in combination with diet and exercise.

  5. Supports Exercise Performance and Recovery

    Magnesium supplementation improves speed and strength, possibly by making glucose metabolism more efficient. It also supports healthy stress response to exercise, counteracts excessive muscle damage, and improves exercise recovery (400 mg/day, taken at breakfast).

  6. Improves Sleep Quality

    In a small clinical trial involving 46 elderly subjects with sleep struggles, 500 mg of daily magnesium supplement improved sleep quality, sleep latency, and cortisol. Subjects also had more serum melatonin, slept deeper, and were less likely to wake up in the middle of the night.

  7. Builds Stronger Bones

    Magnesium is the key building block of your bones. Magnesium deficiency can weaken your bones by:

    • Inhibiting healthy bone formation, creating brittle bones
    • Increasing cortisol, which can contribute to lifestyle-related gradual bone loss
    • Reducing parathyroid hormone
  8. Promotes Healthy Blood Pressure

    A meta-analysis of 34 randomized control trials found that magnesium reduced blood pressure. However, the effect size is clinically small (<2 mmHg). Therefore, it may be good for supporting overall health and healthy blood pressure, but you may also need other interventions to achieve healthy blood pressure levels.

  9. Promotes Balanced and Healthy Immune System

    Magnesium is a crucial mineral for your immune system and activates Vitamin D, another key nutrient for healthy immune functions and balance.

    Overall, magnesium deficiencies tend to exacerbate or increase the risk of conditions that involve chronic inflammation.

  10. Supports Vitamin D Activation and Metabolism

    Both Vitamin D and magnesium have important roles in bone health, immune function, and metabolism. Magnesium is a cofactor in Vitamin D conversion and activation. Some people cannot increase their blood 25-hydroxy Vitamin D levels despite supplementing with Vitamin D3 because they are deficient in magnesium. In other words, magnesium deficiency can make Vitamin D less effective.

    Also, in people deficient in magnesium, high doses of Vitamin D3 could worsen magnesium deficiency and increase the potential for side effects of excessive Vitamin D3, such as having excess calcium.

Not all magnesium supplements are created equal due to the differences in bioavailability.

Bioavailability correlates with health benefits. If the magnesium doesn’t reach your target tissue, you won’t reap the benefits from it.

Magnesium Breakthrough® provides the most bioavailable combination of different forms of magnesium on the market.

 

 

FAQ's

 

Can you take magnesium when pregnant?

Please note that Magnesium Breakthrough is not formulated or tested for pregnant women. Katemfe is not tested in pregnant women. It’s best to consult your OB/GYN before introducing any supplements during pregnancy.

For pregnant women, the National Institute of Health recommends a daily magnesium intake of 360 - 400 mg (slightly above the recommended amount for non-pregnant women over the age of 25). This is in part because hormonal changes during pregnancy cause more magnesium to be excreted through the urine.

What is the B6 in Magnesium Breakthrough made from?

Vitamin B6 improves magnesium absorption and bioavailability. A clinical study compared the effects of magnesium with magnesium combined with B6. They found that subjects who were going through a lot of stress experienced a 24% greater reduction in stress scores with magnesium and Vitamin B6 compared with magnesium alone. The Vitamin B6 in this product is made from carbohydrate fermentation (not potato starch).

Is this product safe for children?

Consult with your pediatrician. The recommended daily allowance of magnesium for children 9-12 is 240 mg/day which is lower than a scoop of this Magnesium Breakthrough®. If your pediatrician approves, you may want to start with half or ⅔ of a scoop.

When you take magnesium in the morning, it supports brain function and stress response throughout the day. In the evening, high doses of magnesium promote relaxation and may help with sleep. Therefore, it is best to divide your magnesium supplement doses throughout the day. If that is not possible, take it whenever you can. It is better to take mineral supplements, such as magnesium, on an empty stomach because you will absorb it more efficiently. However, some people experience upset stomach, so they take it with food. Studies of inorganic magnesium salts (oxide, chloride, and sulfate) found that stomach acid is necessary for magnesium absorption, so it needs to be taken on an empty stomach. However, organic magnesium salts (citrate, glycinate, chelate, etc.) are more readily absorbed even when taken with food. Our bodies don’t store magnesium well. It is generally excreted from your system within 24 hours of intake. Therefore, it is important to take magnesium every day.
