Magnesium Powder
Magnesium is a mineral that is required for several hundred functions in the body including muscular relaxation, nerve function, blood sugar regulation and bone density.
Increased magnesium consumption correlates to a lower risk of developing Type II Diabetes1,2 by helping to control blood glucose levels.3 Magnesium helps regulate blood pressure4 and reduces the risk of hypertension4, stroke5 and coronary heart disease.6,7 Magnesium supplementation has also been shown to help improve bone density.4,8
A deficiency in magnesium is the result of high levels of stress, mineral deficiencies in New Zealand soils and a diet high in refined foods and lacking in food sources of magnesium (nuts, seeds, whole-grains, greens). These factors may provide a piece of the puzzle as to the high incidence of heart disease, obesity, diabetes and osteoporosis in New Zealand.
Thanks to new Radiance® Magnesium Powder it is so easy and enjoyable to get the magnesium you need to keep your body healthy and strong. This delicious old-fashioned lemonade flavoured, high magnesium powder is fast-acting and easily added to water, juice or soft food.
