MAGNESIUM AND MINERALS FAQ's

Magnesium plays an important role in contributing to normal muscle function, psychological function, functioning of the nervous system, protein synthesis, energy-yielding metabolism, electrolyte balance, maintenance of normal bones and teeth and plays a role in cell division. When you consider the role each of the above play in the basic health of our bodies, it becomes clear that it is a very important mineral. 

Health specialists have always emphasized the importance of including adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals in our daily diet. Magnesium, and Calcium are two of the most important minerals essential for good health. Magnesium is also a co-factor to calcium meaning they need each other to be correctly and efficiently metabolised within the body. 

Women of all ages benefit immensely from the intake of magnesium. The other crucial health benefits of magnesium include protein synthesis, it boosts the bio-availability of vitamin D, B6 and B Complex.

Good dietary sources of magnesium include nuts (especially almonds), whole grains, wheat germ, fish, and green leafy vegetables. However it is now recognised that we no longer get the same level of minerals from these foods due to soil quality and over farming. Hence the fact that as with most nutrients, daily needs for magnesium are not always being met from food alone, which is when we look to dietary supplements. 

Minerals are inorganic substances, which exist naturally in the earth in solid form and in the oceans in Ionized form. Many of these minerals are critical to the growth, production and reproduction of healthy cells for our bones, teeth, hair, blood, nerves, skin, organs and overall health. Approximately 22 of these minerals are known as essential minerals. These include Macro Minerals: Magnesium, Calcium, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, Phosphorus, Sulfur, and Micro Minerals also known as Trace Elements: Chromium, Copper, Fluoride, Iodine, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, Selenium, Zinc, Nickel, Vanadium, Cobalt and Silicon.

We need significant quantities of essential macro minerals and we require minute quantities of essential trace minerals

A single mineral does not work in isolation, rather, they are necessary as synergistic elements or Co-Factors to support physical health. They work best in association with all other minerals, trace minerals, vitamins and nutrients, the way they are found in unrefined whole foods. Unfortunately due to over farming, fertilisers, processed foods and excessive refining or purifying, we no longer get the required amount from our diet and need supplementation at some point.

To understand why we need minerals, it’s best to first understand what minerals are. Minerals are inorganic substances, which occur naturally in non-living things such as sea water, fresh water, rocks and soil. Minerals are also found in plants and animals which get their minerals from the sources mentioned above.  

The minerals in our diet are essential for a variety of bodily functions. They play an important role in supporting building strong bones and teeth, and in blood, skin, hair, nerve function, muscle and for metabolic processes such as those that turn the food we eat into energy. This means that minerals are needed for the body to maintain a healthy and normal state for growth and development, and overall, for maintaining normal health. Magnesium is a good example of this: Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, psychological function,functioning of the nervous systemand the maintenance of normalbones and teeth. It contributes to normal protein synthesis, energy-yielding metabolism and electrolyte balance while also having a role in the process of cell division. 

Different minerals are required in different amounts but science has identified approximately 22 that are considered essential. The rest are also found in our bodies as trace elements but in many cases science has not yet been able to prove the exact benefit but agrees that they must have a role since they have been present in our diet and bodies since time began. In many instances it is believed that they act as “co-factors” that is they help other minerals, vitamins or nutrients work better.

Minerals are grouped depending on how much they are needed on a daily basis so the minerals that are needed more in bigger amounts on a daily basis are known as the macro-minerals (Magnesium, Sodium, Calcium, Potassium etc) The minerals that are needed less and in smaller amounts are known as micro-minerals or “trace elements” (Copper, Zinc, Nickel, Selenium etc).

No individual mineral vitamin or nutrient can single-handedly change the way our body or organs work. It is balance and co-factors that brings it all together.

A large proportion of our cells, muscles and tissue is made up of amino acids, meaning they carry out many important bodily functions, such as giving cells their structure. They also play a key role in the transport and the storage of nutrients. Amino acids have an influence on the function of organs, glands, tendons and arteries. They are furthermore essential for the healing process especially in the muscles, bones, skin and hair as well as for the removal of all kinds of waste deposits produced in connection with the metabolism of minerals and vitamins.

A recent study from Germany carried out by the DAK has revealed that older people in particular are more prone to suffering from malnutrition. “If the body is lacking in the minimum energy and nutrients, the body cannot carry out its bodily and mental functions. Without the necessary vitamins, proteins (amino acids), trace elements and minerals, there is a risk of debilities and metabolic disorders which can have serious consequences.”.

The minerals in our diet are essential for a variety of bodily functions. They are important for building strong bones and teeth, blood, skin, hair, nerve function, muscle and for metabolic processes such as those that turn the food we eat into energy. This means that minerals are needed for the body to work properly, for growth and development, and overall, for maintaining normal health.  Magnesium is a good example of this: Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, psychological function,functioning of the nervous systemand the maintenance of normalbones and teeth. It contributes to normal protein synthesis, energy-yielding metabolism and electrolyte balance while also having a role in the process of cell division. 

No individual mineral vitamin or nutrient can single-handedly change the way our body or organs work.   It is balance that brings it all together.

Cardio Revive or Femme Revive contain a very pure form of Magnesium and minerals sourced from deep ocean and in liquid form so it is more efficient and bioavailable to your body.  

Your blood cells reproduce themselves approximately every 10 days so typically one might need to build up over a period of at least 30 days. Once you begin to notice a difference, you can reduce what you take as required. You know your body better than anyone else.

You know your body better than anyone else. A single bottle is 30ml with a recommended dosage of 1ml per day. For many they notice and feel the benefit within the first month (Bottle) and for just €1.00 per day they choose to stay on it as they notice the improvements in energy, focus, drive and health. For some clients they will take it for a few months and then feel they do not need it. This is normal. Once you begin to feel a benefit, you be the best judge, you can reduce the amount you take and see how you feel. You know your body better than anyone else.
