Magnesium/Potassium Complex

DESCRIPTION
Magnesium/Potassium Complex capsules, provided by Douglas Laboratories®
deliver 90 mg of elemental magnesium and 90 mg of elemental potassium for cardiovascular support.
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 already normal heart function and blood pressure.
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
already normal blood pressure. Potassium is generally well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and the
kidneys regulate total body potassium by controlling urinary potassium excretion.
INDICATIONS
Magnesium/Potassium Complex may be a useful nutritional adjunct for individuals who wish to increase their
dietary intake of magnesium and potassium.
