Restore the balance of power

- By George Nichols

WE all feel like we need an energy boost from time to time. With the speed of modern life it is no wonder we can often feel drained of energy. The challenge is how do we overcome this feeling. We can all help ourselves with exercise and a sensible dietary regime, but we really need more than that to put us back on full power.

Something that can be a big help is magnesium, an essential mineral that helps the body turn food into energy. It is known to reduce tiredness and is vital for our everyday health, supporting hundreds of chemical reactions in our system.

It’s present in everyday items such as green vegetables along with health treats such as pumpkin seeds yet studies show that fewer than half of us consume the recommende­d daily amount.

And no matter what we eat, the big challenge is to absorb enough of it to do us good.

The best way to guarantee a regular level of magnesium is with a daily supplement – yet even that isn’t as simple as it sounds. Not all supplement­s are equal. Magnesium is difficult to absorb as it is not watersolub­le and must be bound to another compound to work.

And most supplement­s use magnesium oxide, the most common form of magnesium although it only has an absorption rate of four per cent.

However magnesium from diet supplement expert FutureYou contains magnesium lactate which is derived from lactic acid and is highly soluble, bringing an absorption rate of 45 per cent, 10 times higher.

Consuming large amounts of magnesium over a long period of time can affect our digestive system. By taking a supplement containing magnesium lactate it is possible to absorb greater amounts of magnesium quicker while actually consuming less, which is better for our bodies.

A standard magnesium supplement contains 375mg of magnesium oxide; four per cent absorption rate means absorbing 15mg of magnesium. Magnesium+ from FutureYou contains 56mg of magnesium lactate – a 45 per cent absorption rate means absorbing 25.2mg of magnesium.

Not only does it mean absorbing 33 per cent more magnesium against a standard magnesium oxide supplement, the consumptio­n of magnesium is 88 per cent less to achieve that level.

And FutureYou’s Magnesium+ is simple to take, just one tablet each day. It’s time to light up your body for the spring now. INFORMATIO­N futureyouh­ealth.com
