WHERE DO WE GET MAGNESIUM FROM ?
In foods , magnesium is found naturally occurring in leafy greens and is the center part of the chlorophyll molecule . Magnesium is also found in many other foods such as whole grains like oats ; yogurt and kefir ; almonds ; sweet potatoes , and bananas — but only in relatively small amounts per serving .
One hundred years ago , our ancestors daily diet provided around 500mg of Magnesium . Today our modern daily diet typically provides only 150-300mg of Magnesium . What happened to our Magnesium ? The Sad American Diet , modern industrial food processing and preservation , soil depletion of minerals caused by pesticides , herbicides , and over-harvesting . Considering this , along with chronic stress and certain prescription drugs such as protein pump inhibitors for acid reflux — which inhibit magnesium absorption — it is hardly surprising that at least 50 percent , and by some estimates possibly up to 75 percent of the American population , is low or deficient in magnesium !
RECOMMENDED DAILY ALLOWANCE FOR MAGNESIUM IS 420MG , BUT MANY EXPERTS SUGGEST 600-900MG DAILY FOR OPTIMUM HEALTH AND VITALITY .
WHY DR . FORMULATED MAGNESIUM GUMMIES ?
Magnesium is a naturally occurring alkaline earth mineral found in rocks such as magnesite , where it occurs in the form of magnesium carbonate . Magnesium supplements are typically made with crushed rocks that are treated with acid and chemicals to make magnesium salts . These salts are not absorbed well and often cause gastrointestinal upsets with laxative effects .
Dr . Formulated Magnesium Gummies are made with magnesium citrate . This form works well in gummies , and it was important for us to choose a source that would be well absorbed . In a published clinical study , scientists compared three forms of magnesium :
Mg ( an amino-acid chelate , a citrate and an oxide ) at a daily dose of 300mg in 46 healthy individuals . Results showed that Mg citrate has superior bioavailability after 60 days of treatment when compared with other Mg treatments . 1
These delicious magnesium raspberry gummies are made with apple pectin and no sugar is added , so there is less than 1g of sugar per 4-gummy serving . We also added FOS which is a beneficial prebiotic that helps feed the probiotics . Four gummies daily deliver I billion CFU of clinically studied Bacillus subtilis DE111 . Fructooligosaccharides ( FOS ) are oligosaccharides that occur naturally in plants such as onion , chicory , garlic , asparagus , banana , artichoke , among many other plants . We use Certified Organic Beets to create our FOS . These beets are also Non-GMO Project Verified — this is important because most beets are genetically modified .
FOS HAS MANY IMPORTANT BENEFICIAL EFFECTS INCLUDING : PREBIOTIC ACTIVITY-FEEDING PROBIOTICS AND INCREASING PRODUCTION OF SHORT CHAIN FATTY ACIDS IMPROVING MINERAL ABSORPTION SUPPORTS REGULARITY HELPS TO SUPPORT HEALTHY BLOOD LIPID LEVELS
Yummy Dr . Formulated Magnesium Gummies are a great way to make sure the entire family gets the magnesium they need . This is important for everyone ranging from the elderly to young kids who may be playing sports and can easily get depleted in magnesium . Children ages 4 – 12 years can take one gummy daily . Adults and kids over 12 can take up to 4 gummies , delivering 400mg . Please remember that magnesium can have a laxative effect , so if you have not taken magnesium before , start slowly and work up from one gummy to four gradually over a few days . Enjoy !
