Am I getting enough magnesium?

Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body. Essential for good health, magnesium is needed for more than three hundred biochemical reactions in the body. Magnesium helps maintain muscle and nerve function. Magnesium is obtained through foods and/or supplementation.


Magnesium is sometimes found in certain foods at small levels that are far below the RDA. The RDA is a reference number developed by the Food and Drug Administration to help consumers determine if a food contains a lot or a little of a specific nutrient. If a food contains the minimum amount of what we need every day, then it meets the RDA number, and is listed on the bottle label as 100%. However, this is the minimum amount that you need to stay healthy and prevent deficiency. Extra magnesium may be beneficial for diabetics and those with heart-health issues, which is why many of our customers take three Res-Q Mg caplets per day. Therefore, supplementing with magnesium is a good idea. According to the National Institute of Health, “Data from the 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey suggest that substantial number of adults in the United States fail to consume recommended amounts of magnesium.”

Add Res-Q Mg, our magnesium supplement to your supplement regimen. Res-Q Mg belongs to the heart-healthy line of Res-Q products.
