A New Way to get your daily Magnesium

PURICA Effervescent Magnesium Glycine

Magnesium is truly a miraculous mineral and essential to our well being. Yet Health Canada reports that over 42 per cent of Canadians are deficient in this mineral. Calcium directly opposes magnesium within the body and a high intake of calcium—relative to magnesium— can throw off the delicate balance. This can lead to conditions such as: ∞ Increased stress ∞ Irritability ∞ Muscle cramps/pain  ∞ Anxiety/depression ∞ Heart palpitations ∞ Elevated blood pressure ∞ High cholesterol ∞ Fatigue/restlessness ∞ Migraine headaches ∞ Kidney stones/gall stones ∞ Nerve problems ∞ Hormonal imbalance ∞ Osteoporosis ∞ Difficulty falling asleep A number of commonly-used drugs can cause the body to become magnesium deficient. These include most diuretics, bronchodilators used for asthma, insulin, corticosteroids, nicotine and birth control pills. Since magnesium plays an important role in the contraction and relaxation of muscles, it is particularly helpful for athletes and other physically active people, helping to improve performance and reduce muscle aches. Purica® Effervescent Magnesium Glycine is a delicious Raspberry or Lemon/Lime drink that will ensure you obtain the optimum daily dose of this vital mineral.
