Minerals are the spark plugs of life because they are essential to achieving and maintaining health. It is very important to add mineral supplements to a daily diet because essential minerals are almost non-existent in today’s foods. Most mineral supplements on the market today focus on calcium and not magnesium which actually can be counter productive to health.
Magnesium
Pinnaclife Mineral Boost provides 100% of the daily amount of magnesium. Magnesium is the mineral the body needs most, and the mineral most people are extremely deplete in. The kinetics and cellular signaling of your body is dependant upon the electrical transmissions initiated by magnesium. Magnesium concentration in cells is approximately 10,000 times greater than calcium. Magnesium guards the entrance to our cells, carefully controlling the amount of calcium allowed in, then it quickly removes the calcium after its usefulness has been completed. Magnesium is our body’s true channel blocker.
Magnesium works inside our cell’s mitochondria, just like hydroxytyrosol and N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC), to help these cellular engines perform and produce the energy necessary for life itself. It bonds with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to produce cellular energy. Magnesium is also synergistic with dozens of other vitamins and minerals used in the Pinnaclife products. Magnesium aids in the formation of proteins, including the proteins that makeup our genetic code: DNA and RNA.
Research results indicate that seven out of ten people are magnesium deficient. Considering how vital magnesium is to cell life, it is amazing that more people do not fully understand its importance.
Vitamin D3
Vitamin D3 is to vitamins as magesium is to minerals. It is vital beyond comparison. Vitamin D3 and magnesium are the dynamic duo. Vitamin D3 deficiency is just as prevalent as magnesium deficiency, but the cause is not our diets, it is our lack of exposure to the sun. Vitamin D3 is a hormone known as the sunshine vitamin. However, most people are vitamin D3 deficient due primarily from geographic location or a social aversion to sun exposure. Supplementing with vitamin D3 is critical for optimal cellular functioning.
Calcium
Calcium is required for vascular contraction and vasodilation, muscle function, nerve transmission, intracellular signaling and hormonal secretion, though less than 1% of total body calcium is needed to support these critical metabolic functions. The remaining 99% of the body’s calcium supply is stored in the bones and teeth where it supports their structure and function.1
