You are receiving MAG-OX 400™ for magnesium supplementation. Based on USDA dietary research and new U.S.R.D.A. levels, most people should take one MAG-OX 400 once daily. Magnesium is an essential mineral that is used throughout the body. Magnesium is one of the most abundant elements inside the cells within the human body and is relied upon for a variety of functions.

Magnesium is most commonly connected with heart health and the fight against cardiovascular diseases, the number one cause of death in the United States. In addition to cardiovascular disease, a number of other conditions such as diabetes and osteoporosis have also been reported to benefit from improved magnesium status.

In addition to the fact that most diets do not contain enough magnesium, many prescription medications can reduce the magnesium in your body. For example, diuretics (commonly called water tablets) can cause magnesium and other minerals to be flushed out of your body. Here’s a list of common magnesium depleting drugs:

In addition to deficient diets and drugs that cause magnesium loss, certain conditions are associated with poor magnesium status. For example, diabetes and alcoholism may cause urinary magnesium loss.

Healthy individuals need enough magnesium to reach the Recommended Daily Allowance (U.S.R.D.A.) for magnesium intake and the requirement may be greater for those losing magnesium due to certain drugs or diseases. Research shows that most diets do not meet the U.S.R.D.A.; therefore, a magnesium supplement makes sense to provide the extra that is needed.

Recommended Daily Allowance (U.S.R.D.A.) — Adult women should get 320 milligrams of magnesium per day and men should get 420 milligrams per day.

Diet — A widely accepted recommendation is to get as much magnesium as you can by including magnesium-rich foods in your diet. Whole grains, cereals, figs, almonds, cashews, brown rice, kidney beans, dairy products and many fruits and vegetables are high in magnesium. The reality is, according to a USDA study, that the majority of Americans do not get enough magnesium in their diet. Magnesium supplements can be an extremely low-cost form of "insurance" for an irregular diet.

MAG-OX 400, by Blaine Pharmaceuticals is the #1 recommended magnesium-oxide brand and has 240 milligrams of elemental magnesium per tablet. When added to the average diet, one MAG-OX 400 tablet provides enough magnesium to meet the recommended daily allowance (U.S.R.D.A.) for magnesium.
