Seeking Health Magnesium Plus

Magnesium and vitamin B6 assist hundreds of metabolic processes in your body. If any one of these processes is not fueled by active magnesium or the active form of B6, symptoms appear.

Symptoms of magnesium/ B6 deficiency include:

• Insomnia
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Fatigue
• Elevated Blood Pressure
• Asthma
• Menstrual Cramps
• Irritability

Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve functions and strong bones; regulates blood sugar and blood pressure, keeps the heart rhythm steady, and supports the immune system. Most Americans do not get the daily recommended amounts of magnesium.

The digestive system and kidneys can effect magnesium levels, as it is absorbed in the intestines and then transported through the blood to cells and tissue. Gastrointestinal disorders such as Crohn's disease, chronic or excessive vomiting and diarrhea, and gluten sensitive enteropathy can effect magnesium absorption.

Other people at risk for magnesium deficiency may be:

• Individuals with poorly controlled diabetes
• Persons with alcoholism
• Individuals with chronically low blood levels of potassium
• Older or aging adults

Benefits that may be seen from taking one capsule of Magnesium Plus a day are:

• Improved sleep
• Reduced uterine cramping
• Decreased stress
• Relaxed muscles
• Improved concentration
• More balanced emotions

If you are looking for a magnesium formula that is potent and effective, but gentle on your system, then Magnesium Plus is an excellent choice. It is free from common allergens and additives so it is suitable for individuals with chemcial and food sensitivities. Each vegetarian capsule provides 100mg of Magnesium glycinate chelate combined with 30 mg of Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (vitamin B6).

Suggested Use: Take one (1) capsule daily with food.

About Seeking Health, the company

Dr. Ben Lynch, founder and Chief Medical Officer of Seeking Health, is a naturopathic physician. While majoring in Cell and Molecular biology at the University of Washington, Dr. Ben took a trip through the South Pacific and Southeast Asia that changed his outlook on traditional medicine, and his life.

During this trip, Dr. Ben hiked through the forests, mountains and coasts of Tasmania, worked a cattle ranch in the Outback of Australia, and volunteered with Mother Theresa in Calcutta. He lived in Fiji with a family having no electricity or plumbing, experienced the Himalayan Mountains of Northern India, worked a fruit orchard in New Zealand, and returned to America with an impression of a different form of medicine than he had ever experienced with his mainstream medical education.

This profound experience led Dr. Ben to Bastyr University, and he studied the Mind-Body Connection, Environmental Medicine, Functional Medicine, and Epigenetics.

Dr. Ben saw the huge need for people to obtain foundational nutrients, and Seeking Health was born. Without foundational nutrients, biochemical dysfunction occurs and causes symptoms. Doctor after doctor and person after person do not understand the absolute requirement for our bodies to have the tools to maintain function.

• Without water, we die.
• Without food, we die.
• Without probiotics, we get digestive disorders.
• Without multivitamins, we become depressed, fatigued and sick.

“If one supports their bodily systems, especially their digestion and mental health, with pure, highly absorbable, well-formulated nutrients, the ability to remain healthy and vital significantly increases. We want your foundation rock solid and we provide the tools to do so.”

-Dr. Ben Lynch, founder of Seeking Health

Seeking Health believes that the root cause for many health conditions and supplements stem from ineffective digestion, environmental exposures, poor diet, and lack of a healthy social outlet and inlet.

• Once digestion is restored and optimized with the best probiotics, digestive enzymes, stomach acid and intestinal repair nutrients, one is able to absorb nutrients from foods and high quality multivitamins.
• Once environmental exposures are reduced, one is able to reduce toxic burden which then frees up nutrients to work in promoting health and preventing disease.
• Once diet is optimized, nutrients flood in, energy increases, blood sugar stabilizes and the immune system balances.
• Creating a social outlet and inlet allows the parasympathetic nervous system to regain control over the reactive sympathetic nervous system, allowing countless nutrients to be used proactively and in a protective manner instead of being wasted on producing stress hormones.

Seeking Health is here to see you get better, and stay better. Their true passion is prevention.

Seeking Health is based in Bellingham, Washington and operated and managed by a team dedicated to bringing you better health through the best quality supplements, prebiotics, probiotics, and multivitamins.

Seeking Health brings you effective formulas produced without preservatives, colors, titanium dioxide, coloring, or gluten.

I purchased this product for my son and I am very happy with it and will be purchasing this product again once I run out. My son has autism and celiac and I am glad I can find a product and not worry about the ingredients.

Good source of magnesium! Review by Susan

Most magnesium supplements just go right through you - not this one. I love taking it at night as it helps for a good nights sleep. Taking before bed and maybe a few raw almonds and I sleep like a baby.

Questions on Seeking Health Magnesium Plus

bone health-calcium at 3/21/12 3:19 PM
- Hello,
  I just received the magnesium plus, and would like to know
  in your opinion which form of calcium do you think is best
  to take with it? The reason I ask is that I have read that they
  are good to take together. I do have Calicium Citrate by
  Solaray 250mg. For bone health I also recently started to take
  Carlson's Norwegian cod liver oil.
  
  Thank You
- Hi there - Calcium is not the best for bone health - if that is what you are taking calcium for. Bone health requires vitamin D3 in much higher amounts than is found in cod liver oil. Consider taking 1 to 4 drops daily of Vitamin D360. Each drop provides 2,000 IU of vitamin D3. http://www.healthegoods.com/vitamin-d360-by-seeking-health.html Calcium citrate is a good form of calcium - if it is not a tablet. Tablets of calcium are tough for the body to break apart and absorb. I always recommend capsules, liquids, chewables or powders. We have two options for you to consider - but for bone health, I highly recommend Bone Nutrients by Seeking Health as it provides minerals and additional nutrients specific to bone health, http://www.healthegoods.com/bone-nutrients-120-vegetarian-capsules.html In health, Dr Ben

Hypoallergenic at 4/4/12 5:25 PM
- Dr Ben-
  After speaking with you I am strongly considering switching brands from Thorne Research to Seeking Health, but I have one reservation. Seeking Health is not hypoallergenic and Thorne Research is. What my question is, how concerned should I be about this. It seems Thorne makes it well known that their products are of this variety. But to be honest I don not really understand what the term means and why seeking health would not fall under this category, while Thorne Research would. Could you explain this for me? I appreciate it.
  Thanks
- Hello - This is a great question. The term 'hypoallergenic' requires a lot of paperwork and various approvals. Seeking Health does not worry about obtaining this term. We rather focus on simply making pure and effective products. We have no marketing efforts. Our products market themselves due to their effectiveness and purity. If you read the labels and information on the product label and webpages, you'll find that most Seeking Health products would appear to be hypoallergenic; however, we cannot state that. For example, our Optimal Vitamin E has no soy proteins in it at all for those who are soy-sensitive; yet, we cannot claim hypoallergenic. Our probiotics are not grown on dairy as most probiotics are yet we cannot claim hypoallergenic. Magnesium Plus is very pure as all our encapsulated products are. I thank you for your awareness and realizing that Seeking Health products are indeed made with care and limited allergens. You will find all Seeking Health encapsulated products are also free of all flow agents. Our tablets do contain magnesium stearate but these tablets are intended to be chewed, time released or dissolved directly in the mouth thereby ensuring absorption. If you have any questions about purity or which Seeking Health product may work best for you, please do ask. In health, Dr Ben

Moodiness and Depression at 5/30/12 3:14 PM
- Wondering about taking the Magnesium Plus I just bought. I am trying it to help with premenopausal symptoms like fatigue, mild depression/anxiety, moodiness. Just wondering what is best and if it is okay to take it daily for a long time or even years? Thank you!
- Hello -
  
  Magnesium Plus is excellent to take for depression, PMS and related symptoms. It is ok to take for years - daily.
  
  If you are getting too much vitamin B6, your body will tell you by preseting you with a tight-banded headache.
  
  Inositol is also a fantastic nutrient for anxiety and PMS. Consider taking 1 scoop in a glass of water upon rising in the AM and another scoop before lunch in a glass of water.
  
  Vitamin E, at 400 IU, may also be supportive of healthy emotions.
  
  In health,

Hypothyroidism at 11/2/12 9:09 PM
- Is Magnesium Plus good to take for Hypothyroididsm?
- Hello there,
  
  The vitamin B6 in this product is typically used for many kinds of gastrointestinal disorders, Irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux, depression, stress, anxiety, nervousness, restless leg, muscle cramping, inadequate concentration and focus, and autism. The magnesium is used to assist vitamin B6 in brain function and neurotransmitter production. With that said, treating hypothroidism does include consuming adequate magnesium, but treatment includes more than simply taking one nutrient. A person needs to consider Iodine, Selenium, Magnesium, and Zinc.
  
  If you take the Magnesium Plus and have pretty significant stress and anxiety, are unable to sleep well and deeply at night, try taking 1-2 capsules in the morning and 1-2 capsules at night before bed. It should not keep you up. It will help calm you down. If have some stress, reduce dosage to 1 capsule per day. If that doesn’t do the job, gradually increase dosage. Please talk to your doctor about any and all supplements you take.
  
  Consider the product called Thyroid Support by Gaia. http://www.healthegoods.com/thyroid-support-60-capsules-emerson-ecologics.html If you are interested in this product, tell your doctor you are interested in it. Do not add this into your regimen unless your doc ok's it. Consider taking 1 to 2 capsules in the AM.
