Subclinical Magnesium Deficiency: A Principal Driver Of Cardiovascular Disease And A Public Health Crisis
with Wade Lightheart
Because serum magnesium does not reflect intracellular magnesium, the latter making up more than 99% of total body magnesium, most cases of magnesium deficiency are undiagnosed. Furthermore, because of chronic diseases, medications, decreases in food crop magnesium contents, and the availability of refined and processed foods, the vast majority of people in modern societies are at risk for magnesium deficiency. Certain individuals will need to supplement with magnesium in order to prevent suboptimal magnesium deficiency, especially if trying to obtain an optimal magnesium status to prevent chronic disease. Subclinical magnesium deficiency increases the risk of numerous types of cardiovascular disease, costs nations around the world an incalculable amount of healthcare costs and suffering, and should be considered a public health crisis. That an easy, cost-effective strategy exists to prevent and treat subclinical magnesium deficiency should provide an urgent call to action. http://shrnetwork.biz/mag use code SHR10 for 10% off.

Subclinical Magnesium Deficiency:
A Principal Driver of Cardiovascular Disease and A Public Health Crisis
[00:04:08] Less than 1% of all the magnesium in your body is in your blood. When testing for magnesium the blood is assessed. A SpectraCell test allows for testing how much magnesium you are absorbing in your tissue versus how much is in your actual blood supply as well as if you have issues.
[00:05:05] Different parts of the body uptake distinct types of magnesium.
[00:06:13] Magnesium is a powerful electrolyte responsible for the relaxation of muscle. Calcium channel activity causes the heart to stroke, while magnesium allows the heart to expand, and it is a very delicate balance.
[00:06:44] Causes of magnesium deficiency:
- Some people are malabsorbers of magnesium.
- Certain groups of classifications of drugs that will cause you to lose magnesium faster.
- In type II diabetics, insulin causes an imbalance in electrolytes. Insulin has a direct effect on how much calcium, potassium and magnesium gets into the cell.
[00:08:03] Most of the medical science is looking into what the bare minimum level of magnesium needed to survive. Biohackers are still in the preliminary stages of determining what the optimum levels are.
[00:09:19] BiOptimizers is in the process of determining what is that specific amount needed by each individual.
[00:13:48] A fraction of doctors today know of the utmost vital role magnesium supplementation plays in overall health.
[00:15:20] Doctors in Canada are forced by the government into a mainstream centralized control of dissemination of nutritional information. They are in a tough position to be able to advocate for supplemental intervention.
[00:17:01] Dr Steven Sinatra (heart surgeon) determined the following and called it the Sinatra Protocol:
- If you give a person who has congestive heart failure,
- 400 to 800 milligrams of magnesium,
- 5 to 20 grams of D-ribose, a form of sugar exclusively used by the heart,
- Ubiquinol, the active form of CoQ10
- and Acytel L-Carnitine,
- in three months, they were cured from congestive heart failure.
[00:19:40] What is the optimal form or forms of magnesium?
- There is no optimal magnesium.
- There are several types of magnesium which lean to the absorption in certain parts of the body
- Magnesium Bisglycinate
- Magnesium Malate
- Magnesium Citrate
- Magnesium Threonate (used for sleep)
- Magnesium Taurate
- Magnesium Orotate
- Magnesium Aspartate
- Magnesium Glycinate
[00:22:34] BiOptimizers use a research facility in Croatia to help gather information and make informed decisions. Through intense research they produced a combination product, Magnesium Breakthrough, containing 7 forms of magnesium.
[00:24:16] Can magnesium cause fatigue?
- Difference between fatigue and relaxation.
- Magnesium switches people out of fight or flight into rest and relax.
- If the system has been in a chronic stimulated state, the rest and relax state would feel more prominent.
[00:24:45] Is there anything that enhances the uptake of magnesium?
- Humic and fulvic acid (delivery agents).
- Vitamin B6.
[00:36:49] Wade explains the process of determining what dosages of the Magnesium Breakthrough product an individual should be taking.
[00:41:43] Factors that can influence magnesium deficiency.
- Excessive sweating (like athletes).
- Kidney problems.
- Frequent consumption of alcohol.
- Malabsorption issues that occur in the small intestine and in the colon.
- Ulcerative colitis.
- Renal tube acidosis.
- Diabetic acidosis.
- Diuretic treatment.
[00:45:35] Wade suggests IV treatment for people with absorption issues.
[00:52:46] Carl and Wade discusses the concept of transdermal magnesium.
[00:58:38] Magnesium breakthrough is an excellent product, and it is backed by a 365-day money back guarantee.
