MYO-MAG provides high levels of magnesium along with essential nutrients that support the metabolization of magnesium. MYO-MAG supports metabolism, energy production (ATP), and optimal cellular function. It allows for rapid uptake and absorption of easily assimilated forms of magnesium. It also provides critical nutrients supporting energy production in the body.

Because MYO-MAG rapidly boosts magnesium levels, individuals usually notice greater physical and metal energy, reduced fatigue, and often a greater sense of overall well being.

MYO-MAG contains ingredients participating in the production of ATP. One vegetarian capsule contains 100 mg of magnesium and over 300 mg of malic acid. 10 mg of Vitamins B1 as Thiamin HCl is provided and 10 mg of Vitamin B2 is included both in standard (riboflavin) and coenzyme  (riboflavin 5″ phosphate) forms. Also included is 5 mg of Vitamin B6 in its coenzyme phosphorylated form (P5P) only, 5 mg of manganese (because high levels of magnesium can deplete the body of it), magnesium carbonate (a malic acid buffer), and glycine as the carrier for a portion of the magnesium. MYO-MAG is contained in a vegetarian capsule to ensure rapid assimilation.

Supplementing the diet with magnesium and malic acid may reverse conditions of low energy. Suggested daily amounts include 300-600 mg of magnesium and 1200–2400 mg of malic acid.

There are several key nutrients needed by mitochondria to manufacture ATP in the body. These include oxygen, magnesium, food substrate, ADP, and inorganic phosphate, as well as Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, and Vitamin B6. The body also needs malate (an important Krebs cycle intermediate) in order for most of these nutrients to function effectively in the process of ATP production. When adequate amounts of any of these nutrients are not present in the mitochondria, a vicious cycle can occur in which ATP is not created in amounts sufficient for proper cell function.

Having insufficient amounts of ATP means that B vitamins may not adequately be phosphorylated leading to improper metabolism and further reductions in ATP production. The much less efficient anaerobic production of ATP may be utilized to a greater extent. A balance point may be reached wherein the body produces only a fraction of the optimal amount of ATP. Supplementing the diet with magnesium and malic acid boosts energy production and thereby can reverse conditions of low energy.

MYO-MAG provides highly assimilable forms of magnesium and supports optimal use of magnesium in the body.

SUPPORTING SCIENCE

MYO-MAG is a synergistic formula designed to assist the body in the production of energy (ATP).  Magnesium is an essential nutrient for the production of energy, cardiovascular health, muscle and tissue health, and essential for function of more than 800 enzymes. In addition to helping the body create and maintain high levels of energy, magnesium supports conditions of stress, boosts assimilation of other nutrients (e.g., calcium), lowers cholesterol, and offers many other benefits.

MYO-MAG provides therapeutic levels of magnesium, which is known to offer a wide variety of significant benefits to the body, including relaxation of muscles, improved organ function, cardiovascular health, and immune support. Many of these benefits relate to increased cellular energy (ATP) production, and others relate to the directly beneficial effects of magnesium on tissues. When magnesium levels in the body are high, then all organ systems can gain improved function, and individuals may experience a greater overall sense of well-being that relates to improved body functioning and restored energy levels.

MYO-MAG contains ingredients known to participate in the production of ATP in the body. One capsule contains 100 mg of magnesium, over 300 mg of malic acid, 10 mg of Vitamin B1 as Thiamin HCl and 10 mg of Vitamin B2 both as standard (riboflavin) and coenzyme  (riboflavin 5′ phosphate) forms. Also included are Vitamin B6 in its coenzyme phosphorylated form only, manganese (because high levels of magnesium can deplete the body of it), magnesium carbonate (a malic acid buffer), and glycine as the carrier for a portion of the magnesium. MYO-MAG is contained in a vegetarian capsule to ensure rapid assimilation.

MYO-MAG BENEFITS

• ENERGY – Myo-Mag supplies your cellular energy system with raw materials it can use immediately to produce energy for high vitality living. Myo-Mag can help you create energy fast—and naturally!

• MENTAL ENERGY – Just as Myo-Mag boosts physical energy, it can also boost mental energy. The energizing forms of magnesium and synergistic nutrients it provides create cellular energy the body can use for all purposes requiring energy.

• MUSCLE RECOVERY – Myo-Mag supports muscle health, muscle use, and muscle recovery. You might call Myo-Mag a muscle formula, and indeed “Myo” means “muscle” in Greek. Muscles that are properly nourished function well and are loose, not contracted, overly tight, or cramped. Muscles can benefit from Myo-Mag!

• RELAXATION AND CALMING – In addition to being an “energy” production formula, Myo-Mag provides forms of magnesium and other nutrients that allow the body to relax. Muscle relaxation is a well known effect of magnesium. Also, the counterbalancing effect of magnesium on calcium in cells contributes to a relaxation effect. Too much calcium by itself (without being balanced) by magnesium can lead to muscle contraction and tension.

• GREATER SENSE OF WELL-BEING – Myo-Mag can provide an overall sense of well being. This is likely due both to the wide range of benefits and effects of magnesium (see list below) combined with the benefits of the synergistic nutrients it provides. For example, a combination of the known benefits of muscle relaxation, improved mood, and increased vitality can together contribute to an overall increased sense of well-being.

• CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH – The heart is a muscle and gain major benefits from the right forms of magnesium, like those in Myo-Mag!

• HEADACHES – The ingredients in Myo-Mag are known to help headaches, including migraine headaches

• MANY OTHER BENEFITS – Due to its status as an exceptional magnesium & malic acid formula, Myo-Mag provides all benefits associated with magnesium (see list below), but also supercharges these benefits due to the malic acid (malate), B vitamins, and other synergistic nutrients.

NUTRITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS AND APPLICATIONS

There are several nutritional requirements in the body in order for mitochondria to manufacture ATP. These essential nutrients include oxygen, magnesium, food substrate, ADP, and inorganic phosphate, as well as Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, and Vitamin B6 in their phosphorylated forms.

The body also needs adequate stores of malate (an important Krebs cycle intermediate) in order for most of these nutrients to function effectively in the process of ATP production. It is now clear that when any of the these nutrients are not present in adequate amounts within the mitochondria, a vicious cycle can occur in which ATP is not created in amounts sufficient for proper cell function.

Insufficient amounts of ATP mean that the B vitamins will not adequately be phosphorylated leading to improper metabolism and further reductions in ATP production. The much less efficient anaerobic production of ATP will be utilized to a greater extent in such cases. A balance point may be reached in which the body produces only a fraction of the optimal amount of ATP. Under these conditions muscle weakness and fatigue may occur.

Vitamin B6 in its coenzyme form (pyridoxal-5’-phosphate) and magnesium are required for normal activity of malate dehydrogenase enzymes  involved in ATP production in the Krebs Cycle. In addition, the respiratory chain involved in ATP synthesis requires adequate amounts of vitamins B1 and B2, which are the precursors of NAD and FAD. These two B vitamins, like B6, require a magnesium-dependent phosphate transfer reaction to become biologically active. Magnesium deficiency would therefore create a sluggish respiratory chain and a decreased efficiency in the transfer of reducing equivalents from the cytosol to the mitochondria. Supplementing the diet with magnesium and malic acid boosts energy production and thereby can reverse conditions of low energy.

In “Management of Fibromyalgia: Rationale for the Use of Magnesium and Malic Acid,” Abraham and Flechas reported that supplementing the diet with magnesium and malic acid may reverse such conditions of low energy (Jrnl of Nutritional Medicine 1992 3: 49–59). The recommended daily amounts include 300–600 mg of magnesium and 1200–2400 mg of malic acid.

MAGNESIUM

Magnesium is a key ingredient in MYO-MAG which provides 100 mg per capsule primarily in the form of magnesium malate. Magnesium plays a major role in energy production in the body. In particular, magnesium plays a critical role in key enzymatic reactions for both aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis, which is the oxygen-dependent metabolic pathway that coverts glucose in to energy at ATP and NADH.

In order to appreciate the many benefits MYO-MAG offers, it helps to understand the effects and benefits of magnesium. Magnesium levels influence many physiological processes and functions. Benefits include:

• Increases energy by greater production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in cells
• Supports production and function of over 800 enzyme systems in the body
• Relaxes muscles / reduces muscle tension
• Boosts vitality, endurance, and strength
• Improves cardiovascular / heart health (relaxes cardiac muscle)
• Relieves pain, including chronic pain
• Ideal for arthritis / fibromyalgia / joint pain
• Improves health of skin and mucous membranes
• Eases headaches and migraine headaches
• In sports medicine — replenishes Mg levels for energy (combats fatigue, and
 soothes pain and sore muscles)
• Improves mood and reduces stress
• Increases memory and cognitive functions
• Boosts immune system
• Improves assimilation of calcium / builds stronger bones
• Balances calcium and magnesium levels in cells
• Proven antimicrobial and antiseptic
• Raises DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) levels naturally
• Eases menopause and premenstrual syndrome (pms)
• Supports healthy libido (and endocrine system)
• Anti-aging, rejuvenating, revitalizing
• Keeps cell membranes flexible
• Controls cholesterol production in the body
• Regulates blood sugar levels / needed for insulin production, transport, and function in cells
• Supports antioxidant systems

Given the wide range of benefits conferred by magnesium on the human body, it becomes apparent that no level of deficiency is acceptable. Magnesium is simply critical for life and for health. It is far better to have more magnesium than less.

MYO-MAG contains three types of magnesium: magnesium malate, magnesium carbonate, and magnesium diglycinate. As noted, the malate form of magnesium offers the unique benefit of feeding the energy production system in the body. The magnesium carbonate in the formula acts as a buffering agent while magnesium glycinate is absorbed into the bloodstream thereby increasing absorption beyond the gastrointestinal tract.

MALIC ACID / MALATE

MYO-MAG provides malic acid via magnesium malate, which breaks down in the body into about 80% malic acid and 15% magnesium. Malic acid is a compound (molecular formula C4H6O5) made by all living organisms. Malic acid contributes to the sour taste of fruits, and its name derives from the Latin word for apple. Esters and salts of malic acid are known as malates. The malate anion is an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, or Krebs cycle, which produced energy (ATP) in the body.

According to Abraham and Flechas (1992): “Malate is the only metabolite of the citric acid cycle which correlates positively with physical activity.” They add: “Following endurance training of athletes, muscles were characterized by a 50% increase in the malate-aspartate redox shuttle enzymes, where malate plays a key role…When there is increased demand for ATP, there is also an increased demand and utilization of malate.”

MANGANESE

MYO-MAG includes manganese because high levels of magnesium can deplete manganese. The classes of enzymes that have manganese cofactors is large and includes oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolases, lyases, isomerases, ligases, lectins, and integrins. The reverse transcriptases of many retroviruses (though not lentiviruses such as HIV) contain manganese. The best-known manganese-containing polypeptides may be arginase and Mn-containing superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD).

Manganese is an essential human dietary element. It is present as a coenzyme in several biological processes, which include macronutrient metabolism, bone formation, and free radical defense systems. It is a critical component in dozens of proteins and enzymes. The human body contains about 12 mg of manganese, mostly in the bones. The soft tissue remainder is concentrated in the liver and kidneys. In the human brain, the manganese is bound to manganese metalloproteins, most notably glutamine synthetase in astrocytes.
