Blackmores MagMin Magnesium Tablets x 100

Blackmores MagMin® is a mineral supplement for use in magnesium deficiencies.

Magnesium is an essential mineral that has many important roles in ensuring healthy physical function.

Muscular, circulatory, nerve and insulin metabolism all need magnesium for proper function. Having enough calcium and magnesium is also important for healthy bone development.

Magnesium deficiency can occur due to:

·         not enough dietary intake

·         overconsumption of refined food

·         having too much salt, alcohol, soft drinks or caffeine

·         profuse sweating

·         high frequency exercise

·         prolonged stress

·         vomiting or diarrhoea

·         lack of sleep

·         inadequate protein intake

Deficiencies are linked to a number of health conditions.

·         Indigenous communities

·         high phytate, fibre or protein diets
