Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the human body and is essential to good health. Around 50% of total body magnesium is present in bone; the other half is found mostly inside cells of body tissues and organs. Just 1% of magnesium is found in blood, but the body works very hard to keep blood levels of magnesium stable. Over 300 biochemical reactions in the body require magnesium. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. It is well known that some forms of minerals or other substances can be absorbed better by the body than others. The most commonly used form of magnesium in supplements is inorganic magnesium oxide (MgO), because it is cheap and because it has a high (up to 60%) elemental magnesium content. However, the availability of the magnesium in MgO has been assessed at only around 4-5%. So a tablet boasting 500mg MgO may only provide around 15mg magnesium. Compare this is with the availability of Magnesium Aspartate at around 42%, Magnesium Citrate at 25%, Magnesium Amino Acid Chelate at 25% or Magnesium Orotate at 20% for example. Organic forms of magnesium are generally better tolerated and better absorbed by the body. Magnesium FX 1000 is a high absorption complex of organic magnesium salts and does not contain inorganic magnesium oxide or phosphate. Magnesium FX 1000 has been formulated to include magnesium citrate, magnesium aspartate, magnesium orotate and magnesium amino acid chelate. Research has shown these organic forms are much better absorbed and are better utilised. This formulation also contains vitamin B6, vitamin D and selenium as cofactors involved in the optimal absorption and utilisation of magnesium. Magnesium FX 1000 may be useful to support healthy heart function; muscle relaxation; sleep and relaxation; nervous system balance; PMT associated with cramps and changes in mood; anxiety, mood & irritability. Supplementation with magnesium may also provide support to sufferers of migraine headaches.

Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin with a role in the formation of collagen, which is an important constituent of bones, muscle, cartilage and blood vessels. It is also involved in the growth and function of the important tissues and organs in the body. This vitamin is not stored in the body well and some of the main sources of Vitamin C include fruits and vegetables. High quality supplements, such as Vegan Vitamin C is another potent source of Vitamin C. Deva Vegan Vitamin C is made from Acerola Cherry, Camu Camu and Rosehips. Each tablet provides 250 mg of Vitamin C from natural food sources. Deva Vegan Vitamin C does not contain any synthetic form of Vitamin C. Acerola Extract is derived from the fruit of the Acerola plant also known as West Indian Cherry. The fruits of the acerola tree are appreciated for their nutritive value, and they are generally regarded as being one of the richest organic sources for the vitamin C in the world. Camu Camu is also a shrub like Acerola, found in the Amazon forest and known as the highest source of vitamin C. Rose hips are berries, which can be eaten fresh, dried or even preserved. They are known for their high content of Vitamin C as well as well other natural health properties. Deva Vitamin C is buffered with calcium so its acidity is reduced in the stomach. This helps ensure it is easier on your stomach and less likely to cause loose stools unlike regular vitamin C products.*
