In a February 2012 study entitled, "Correcting magnesium deficiencies may prolong life (1)" - the International Space Station provided an extraordinary facility to study the accelerated aging process in microgravity, which could be triggered by significant reductions in magnesium (Mg) ion levels in the body. What was learned in space can be applied to all of us down here on Earth. Magnesium is an antioxidant and calcium blocker which helps lower oxidative stress, prevent insulin resistance, and lowers inflammatory conditions which could add years to your life.

Aging is an inevitable part of life; so many of us try to resign ourselves to accepting it with grace. The truth is, although growing older is unavoidable, many of the effects of aging are preventable.

Magnesium is a simple, "quiet" mineral involved in a large number of complex and critical body functions. Whether in tablet, liquid or oil form, magnesium is powerful in what it can do for you.
