Magnesium/Potassium Aspartate - 100 caps

Mg-K Aspartate tablets, as provided by Douglas
Laboratories®, deliver 100 mg of elemental
magnesium and 99 mg of elemental potassium in
their bioavailable aspartate forms.
FUNCTIONS
Magnesium and potassium are two minerals with
fundamentally important physiological functions in
the body. However, typical diets in the U.S. and
other industrialized countries often provide less than
adequate amounts of magnesium and potassium.
Supplementation with bioavailable aspartate salts of
these two minerals can help bridge the gap between
dietary intake and optimal requirement.
Magnesium plays an essential role in a wide range of
fundamental cellular reactions. More than 300
enzymes require magnesium as a cofactor.
Complexed with ATP, the main carrier of metabolic
energy in the body, magnesium is essential for all
biosynthetic processes: glycolysis, formation of c-
AMP, energy-dependent membrane transport,
transmission of genetic code for protein synthesis,
and muscle function. Magnesium is involved in
maintaining normal heart function and blood
pressure.
The aspartate salt used in Mg-K Aspartate is highly
absorbed and well tolerated
Potassium is the principal intracellular cation.
Potassium is of great physiological importance,
contributing to the transmission of nerve impulses,
the control of skeletal muscle contractility, and to the
maintenance of normal blood pressure.
Potassium is generally well absorbed from the
gastrointestinal tract, and the kidneys regulate total
body potassium by controlling urinary potassium
excretion.
Aspartic Acid is a natural amino acid which occurs
widely as a constituent of food proteins. In the body,
aspartic acid is involved in energy production as an
intermediate in the Krebs cycle.
