BENEFIT: Consistent use of FitMAG ionic magnesium [and the consequent rise in your body’s magnesium] steadily improves your energy levels and body composition over time. This is because every major aspect of converting carbs and body fat into energy, is biologically dependent on magnesium:

1. Insulin: Insulin lets your muscle cells absorb their main fuel source: glucose. Not only does your pancreas need magnesium to make insulin, but the insulin receptor on every muscle cell is also magnesium-dependent. Your muscles cannot absorb glucose without magnesium.

2. Fat Release: For your muscles to burn your body fat, your fat cells must first release their fatty acid content. Two key hormones stimulate this fat release: glucagon & growth hormone. Your body needs magnesium to make both of these.

3. Energy: Once inside your muscle cells, fatty acids and glucose are converted into ATP energy molecules by your energy factories: mitochondria. Mitochondria need magnesium for all phases of ATP generation, and for protection from inflammation.

4. Magnesium IS Energy: Not only does magnesium fuel your ATP-energy production, but every single ATP molecule also needs to be attached to a magnesium ion in order to be biologically active and give your muscles energy.

CONCLUSION: Athletes need magnesium ions for every single stage of muscular energy generation. The less magnesium you have, the less energy you have. FitMAG delivers 100% natural, fully bio-available magnesium ions straight into your bloodstream.

IMAGINE: You think about your next move. Your brain sends a signal via your nerves to your muscles. Your nerves stimulate your muscles to contract.  They contract, and you move. Then your muscles relax, and you’re ready for your next move. Every single movement in your workout is a result of this sequence, and it is biologically dependent on magnesium:

1. Mental function: Magnesium produces and regulates all the major chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) that your brain uses to send signals via your nerves including GABA, glutamate, dopamine, serotonin, acetylcholine and more. Your brain needs magnesium to send signals and control your body.

2. Nerve signalling: Your nerves depend on a protective sheath in order to transmit the signals that activate your muscles. This is called the Myelin sheath, and magnesium is needed to physically maintaining this sheath, and fuel the special oligodendrocyte cells that protect it. Your nerves need magnesium to activate your muscles.

3. Muscle Contraction: As the nerve signal arrives, it forces calcium into the muscle. Calcium’s lightning-fast antagonistic dance with magnesium is what propels the muscular contraction.  Calcium alone CANNOT make a muscle contract. Your muscles need magnesium to move your body.

4. Muscle relaxation: After the the calcium-magnesium dance fully contracts your muscles, additional magnesium then sweeps the calcium back out of the environment to allow your muscles to relax. Less magnesium can often result in muscle cramps and involuntary twitches throughout the body.

CONCLUSION: Every sinlge movmeent you make in every workout, uses magnesium. The more magnesium you have, the better your movement can be, leading to optimal reflex, explosiveness, agility, fluidity etc.

IMAGINE: All the beneficial hormones your endocrine system makes – which boost your energy, performance, recovery, youth and overall well-being – cannot be made without magnesium:

Thyroid: The most important hormone for endurance and overall energy. Thyroid hormone increases your mitochondrial ATP generation so your muscles have more energy at their disposal.

Testosterone: Critical for strength, explosiveness, muscle mass, muscular recovery, fertility, libido and overall well-being, testosterone is the second most important physical performance hormone.

Growth hormone: Essential to maintaining a lean body while preserving muscle mass, especially during times of biological stress – such as fasting, and during/after exercise.

Creatine: Although not a hormone, creatine is a key molecule essential to human life. It’s needed to recycle your muscles’ ATP energy molecules, and is involved in your liver’s detoxification pathway. The creatine pathway is magnesium-dependent, in other words, creatine can’t recycle your muscles’ energy without magnesium. 

DHEA, Pregnenolone & Progesterone: These three hormones are actually more powerful and beneficial than growth hormone when it comes to physical regeneration and preserving youth.

CONCLUSION: All of these hormones are made via one of two processes: protein synthesis, or the transformation of cholesterol. Both processes also require magnesium because the DNA enzymes and Cp450 enzymes that facilitate both processes need magnesium to function. Simply put, you need magnesium for all your performance and vitality hormones.

IMAGINE:  Repairing and building new muscle is biologically dependent on magnesium. So is the process of becoming better at the things you practice. Let’s take a look at both:

Muscle Growth & Recovery: Your digestive organs break protein down into amino acids which can then enter your blood stream and travel to your muscle cells, where they are re-assembled into the muscle-proteins that make up your muscles. This re-assembly of amino acids into proteins is called protein synthesis and it’s exactly how you build and repair muscle. It requires several enzymes, all of which need magnesium to work. The two most important are RNA polymerases and Ribosomes. You can watch them in action in the video below.

Developing Skills: ‘Practice makes perfect’ is based on real neuroscience. The efficiency with which your nerves orchestrate your body’s movements, is what determines your skill level. This nerve efficiency increases when the connections between your nerve cells (neurons) grow bigger and stronger. What is the mechanism by which your nerve connections grow? It’s called Long-Term Potentiation (LTP), and the more you use those same nerves, the more LTP occurs. What is the mechanism by which LTP occurs? Protein synthesis: the magnesium-dependent process you just learned about.

CONCLUSION:  Most people – especially athletes – are deficient in magnesium, yet it’s required for the very results you’re working out for in the first place: getting better and/or stronger. If you’re deficient in magnesium, it’s guaranteed that your neuromuscular growth and recovery is not optimal. 

VIDEO – Magnesium & Protein Synthesis:

FACT: Peak performance and overall health is largely dependent on your body’s innate anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and regenerative processes. It should come as no surprise now that the human body needs magnesium for all of these:

Oxidative Stress: The single most destructive form of damage to your muscles, nerves and organs is oxidative stress, which is caused by highly reactive molecules called free radicals that are generated in higher amounts during intense exercise. Magnesium is involved in producing your body’s most potent anti-oxidants: glutathione, melatonin and ceruloplasmin, all of which mitigate oxidative stress. A lack of magnesium thus results in excessive damage to your muscles and tissues.

Inflammation: Magnesium is your body’s most powerful anti-inflammatory agent. Not only is it proven to reduce major inflammatory molecules (such as c-reactive proteins) but it is also known to prevent inflammatory cell death. This is why low magnesium is linked to inflammation and joint pain.

SLEEP & Regeneration: A very large part of your body’s recovery, recycling and regeneration happens while you sleep. In fact, most of your hard-earned muscle repair and skill formation (#4) occurs during sleep. Magnesium not only produces your melatonin, but it also regulates your sleep-wake cycle and boosts both REM and deep sleep: the two phases of sleep where most recovery happens.

CONCLUSION: Intense exercise damages your body, both by exerting your nerves and muscles, and by creating metabolic and cellular stress such as inflammation and oxidative stress. Your body needs magnesium for every major process involved in recovering from these forms of damage to make you better.

Best Molecular Form:  FitMAG trans-dermal magnesium spray and flakes are both in the molecular form of magnesium-chloride, which is proven to have the best rate of trans-dermal (topical) absorption out of all forms of magnesium.

Avoid Digestive Issues:  Furthermore, by entering your bloodstream via your skin, the magnesium in FitMag completely bypasses your digestive system. This is critical because magnesium [in the kinds of doses needed to restore magnesium deficiency – especially in athletes] causes loose stools when it enters the intestine. This results in more magnesium being excreted, and less being absorbed. 

CONCLUSION:

FitMag’s transdermal advantage means that while other magnesium supplements can take over a year to restore your whole-body magnesium levels, you can resolve your deficiency with FitMAG in 2-3 months.

Easy For Your Body:  FitMag magnesium chloride has a stability constant of zero. The lower a molecule’s stability constant is, the easier it is for the human body to extract and use that molecule’s magnesium ion. FitMag has the lowest possible stability constant, meaning your body get’s the highest posssible usage of the magnesium ion.

Cellular Absorption:  This means that when FitMag magnesium chloride is in your body, the magnesium ions and chloride ions separate immediately, and both are used by your body for vital processes. The best part: magnesium ions enter your muscle and organ cells very easily because all cells have magnesium-selective ion channels!

CONCLUSION:

FitMag’s ionic magnesium chloride means that your body gets the magnesium ions it needs without any problems, and these ions easily enter the cells of your muscles and organs where they are used to improve performance, recovery and organ health.

World’s Purest Source:  FitMag trans-dermal spray and flakes are sourced from the European Zechstein Mineral Formation which is situated 1.5 km underground.

This is critical because every other known source of naturally occurring magnesium chloride comes from open bodies of water such as oceans, seas and lakes which are all exposed to large amounts of pollution and heavy-metal toxicity.

The magnesium in FitMag has been sheltered underground from all contaminants for over 250 million years in this ancient geological mineral formation.

Magnesium Scams:  In fact, this magnesium is so sought-after and valuable that many of the largest supplement companies are making false claims about selling this magnesium while actually offering magnesium of a lesser purity.

iMag [which owns FitMag] is the only company that shows video evidence of the advanced water-based Zechstein magnesium mine – which is the only valid proof of having magnesium from Zechstein.
