BUFFERED
HYPOALLERGENIC MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE CAPSULES
BIO-MAX SERIES
Some
individuals find some forms of magnesium difficult on the
digestive system and as a result, difficult to absorb. For
those individuals, Kirkman offers Buffered Magnesium Glycinate
Capsules which are manufactured exclusively with Albion
brand Magnesium Glycinate® (also known as Albion Magnesium
Amino Acid Chelate). Albion Laboratories of Clearfield,
Utah, is a leader in mineral chelates and has evaluated
their products in bioavailability studies, in both animals
and humans, against other forms of mineral salts. Albion's
chelates including magnesium glycinate were unsurpassed
in bioavailability in these studies. Kirkman's Buffered
Magnesium Glycinate Capsules are part of the Bio-Max Series
of supplements. Results of these studies are available from
Kirkman Laboratories upon request.
The
use and effectiveness of magnesium supplementation is well
documented. Magnesium is an essential mineral that is involved
in many body functions as well as being a constituent of
bones and teeth. It is essential for element of cellular
metabolism and is an enzyme activator. Other body actions
include:
Signs
and symptoms of magnesium inadequacy can include fatigue,
mental confusion, heart disturbances, irritability, weakness,
muscle spasms, loss of appetite, insomnia or a feeling of
weakness. The Physician's Desk Reference for Nutritional
Supplements states that some recent data of inpatient and
outpatient populations, suggest that magnesium deficits
may exist in from 12% to 40% of individuals.
Magnesium
supplements usually have their beginning as minerals which
have been influenced by our environment. For that reason,
the purity of magnesium raw materials is important. Magnesium,
like calcium, can have undesirable impurities present. The
responsibility to assure the absence of lead and other heavy
metals falls on the manufacturer. Kirkman uses only the
purest forms of magnesium which have been tested for heavy
metal content as well as other impurities.
There
are many different forms of magnesium and the Physician's
Desk Reference for Nutritional Supplements states that there
is no compelling data indicating absorption differences.
There are reported differences in how different forms affect
the gastrointestinal tract, however. Below are some guidelines,
though individual results may vary and should be discussed
with your physician before administration.
BUFFERED
HYPOALLERGENIC MAGNESIUM CAPSULES
Kirkman's
Hypoallergenic Magnesium capsules are buffered which means
they are resistant to pH changes when in solution. This
makes them less reactive and less likely to irritate the
digestive tract. These characteristics may also increase
absorption capacity.
