Magnesium may help improve glucose utilization, help to improve blood oxidation, and prevent lactic acid build-up during exercise.*

Magnesium helps to maintain healthy energy levels at a cellular level naturally without stimulants.*

Magnesium regulates the transport of calcium, potassium, and other essential minerals, helping muscles and nerves function properly, including the heart.*

Magnesium is required for the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and the powerful antioxidant glutathione, and may help to reduce C-reactive protein and inflammation.*

Zinc is stored in muscles, connective tissues, and bone; and is required for the healing of wounds, collagen synthesis, and the repair of DNA.*
