ABOUT NATURAL CALM
FROM PETER GILLHAM
Few people realize just how important the mineral magnesium
is to their overall health and well-being. Did you know that magnesium
influences many bodily processes, including digestion, energy production,
muscle function, bone formation, creation of new cells, activation
of B vitamins and relaxation of muscles, as well as assisting in the
functions of the heart, kidneys, adrenals, brain and nervous system?
The fact is that lack of sufficient available magnesium in the body
can interfere with any or all of these processes. The National Institutes
of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements, reports that there is an
increased interest in the role of magnesium in preventing and managing
disorders such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
A healthy magnesium level
Diets of the industrialized world, with their processed foods
and use of refined sugar and flour, are commonly quite low in magnesium.
The result? A significant percentage of the population have below
healthy magnesium levels, including many who already use magnesium.
Why? First, the amount of magnesium required by the body is greater
than people think. Second, most magnesium capsules and tablets are
not completely absorbed by the body.
Symptoms of magnesium depletion
Millions suffer daily from symptoms that can result from
a lack of magnesium. Because magnesium is required for hundreds of
enzymatic reactions (enzymes are protein molecules that stimulate
every chemical reaction in the body), deficiency can cause a wide
variety of symptoms, such as
* Low energy
* Fatigue
* Weakness
* PMS and hormonal imbalances
* Inability to sleep
* Weakening bones
* Muscle tension, spasms & cramps
* Abnormal heart rhythms
* Headaches
* Anxiousness
* Nervousness
* Irritability
What depletes magnesium?
Magnesium deficiency can be caused by a number of things,
including-but not limited to-lack of adequate dietary magnesium, emotional
stress, some drugs (diuretics, antibiotics, birth control pills, insulin,
cortisone), heavy exercise, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders and
excessive calcium in the diet.
Your overall health
This data is vital for everyone to know as it affects your
overall health. It may also bring new hope to those who feel hopeless
about improving their health. Using this information has changed the
lives of many and may change your own as well.
The conditions and symptoms listed above are correctable.
Let's look at some of the impacts low levels of magnesium
can have on the body.
Calcium & magnesium
Calcium and magnesium are two different sides of a coin.
Calcium excites nerves while magnesium calms them down. Calcium makes
muscles contract. Magnesium is necessary for muscles to relax. Calcium
is needed for blood clotting but magnesium keeps the blood flowing
freely.
It is easy to see that it is vital to keep these minerals
in balance and that too little magnesium to balance calcium could
be both uncomfortable and unhealthy.
THE ANATOMY OF STRESS
When stress becomes constant in our lives-be it mental, emotional,
environmental or physical-the continual state of hypervigilence of
our bodies and cells can be detrimental to our health. This is especially
true when one is low in magnesium-often the case in today's diet of
highly processed foods.
Going through a stressful period without sufficient magnesium
can set up a deficit that, if not corrected, can linger, causing more
stress and further health problems (see symptoms above).
Without sufficient magnesium, the nerve cells cannot give
or receive messages and become excitable and reactive. This causes
a person to become stressed, highly sensitive and nervous. Feelings
of nervousness, irritability and being unable to relax are signs of
needing magnesium.
The stress response involves the influx of calcium into cells,
resulting in a drastic change in the cells' internal magnesium-to-calcium
ratio.
Normal cells contain 10,000 times more magnesium than calcium
ions. If the amount of cellular magnesium falls, however, calcium
ions flow into the cell. With such an imbalance, calcium puts the
cell into a hyperactive state. This can cause muscle contraction and
lead to painful cramping. The muscles need magnesium in order to relax.
Low magnesium/high calcium levels can cause cells to physically
change. High calcium makes bones stiff and hard, which is good, but
in soft tissues it becomes a problem of calcification. This stiffness
in artery and heart cells can hamper proper function and can be a
factor in heart disease.
Excess calcium is a very widespread problem. Excess calcium
depletes magnesium in the body and, as a result, brings about the
symptoms of magnesium depletion mentioned on page one.
Noted author and researcher, Mildred S. Seelig, MD, explains
"Calcium is an important essential nutrient, but it must be guarded
and controlled, and balanced by adequate magnesium if it is not to
cause damage to the cells and the body as a whole."
For these exact reasons excess calcium can become a real
problem, while excess magnesium, on the other hand, is not a concern.
Unlike calcium, magnesium does not build up in the body-excess amounts
are simply flushed out.
OSTEOPOROSIS
Consider the following: What country has the highest rate
of pasteurized milk consumption? That's right! America. Now, what
country has the highest calcium supplement consumption? Correct again!
America. So, America must have the lowest occurrence of osteoporosis,
calcium loss and bone fragility. Right? Wrong! We have the highest
rate! Why? Excess calcium combined with low magnesium. Taking more
calcium will rarely remedy a calcium deficiency. This is clearly evident
from recent research studies. One study concludes that neither milk
nor a high-calcium diet appears to reduce the rise of osteoporotic
hip fractures in postmenopausal women.1 Another study concluded that
findings "do not support the hypothesis that higher consumption
of milk or other food sources of calcium by adult women protect against
hip or forearm fractures."2
It is magnesium that will handle the calcium deficiency as
well as the lack of adequate magnesium, and it will dissolve excess
calcium from the body while helping any needed calcium to assimilate.
Today we have diets dangerously low in magnesium. Factor
in the recent addition of nutritional calcium via supplements and
food fortifications that are meant to stave off osteoporosis, and
many of us are getting inadequate magnesium plus too much calcium.
Weakening bones
Magnesium is crucial to increasing bone mass, as it is magnesium
that allows calcium to assimilate. People taking supplemental calcium
should accompany their calcium with the magnesium necessary for absorption.
We recommend Peter Gillham's Natural Calm Plus CalciumTM,
which is formulated with three parts magnesium to two parts calcium-along
with other ingredients for superior calcium absorption. This formulation
will prevent a surplus of calcium and avoid symptoms associated with
depleted magnesium levels.
Women taking calcium supplements to ward off osteoporosis,
without adequate magnesium nutrition, can further exacerbate the effects
of a magnesium deficit. (Calcium supplements taken without sufficient
magnesium can actually LOWER the bone mineralization process.)
Magnesium is as important as calcium in the prevention of
osteoporosis and is vital to increasing bone mass.
Muscle disorders
Muscle spasms, cramps, jerks, tics and hiccups can all be
caused by a lack of magnesium. Take sufficient water-soluble magnesium
and they will disappear.
Magnesium and calcium work together to control muscle action;
an imbalance of either will cause tension and cramps. Magnesium relaxes
the muscles. With insufficient magnesium the muscles stay tense, causing
cramping. This can happen when you have too much calcium and too little
magnesium. The same thing happens in the heart, which is a muscle.
The heart goes into a spasm and can't relax, so it "freezes"
and can't function normally. Taking magnesium will instantly allow
the heart to relax and continue beating normally.
The heart connection
According to Dr. Seelig, "Most modern heart disease
is caused by magnesium deficiency. A vast and convincing body of research,
largely ignored, has convinced us and many of our colleagues of this
fact. The diet of the industrial world is short on magnesium, and
this is causing an epidemic of heart disease in the modern world."
Dr. Seelig goes on to state, "Studies have linked low magnesium
with many of the major risk factors for heart disease. Other studies
show that the average Western processed-food diet is lower in magnesium
than is commonly acknowledged. While several essential nutrients are
imperative for heart and blood vessel health, the vast research on
low magnesium and its impact on heart health has gone unheeded, so
much so that much of the heart disease seen today is a direct result
of low magnesium consumption."
The most important risk factor for impending heart disease
is a low magnesium-to-calcium ratio in the cells. All the usual factors
such as high cholesterol, active type 2 diabetes and hypertension
can be the result of a low magnesium status.
Fatigue and energy
Magnesium plays a key role in the energy process within each
individual cell and in our overall energy levels. When insufficient
magnesium is available, energy production is in-hibited, and the eventual
outcome is fatigue and weakness. Magnesium is vital for the maintenance
of adequate energy levels.
Magnesium is also essential for regulating potassium levels
and for the functioning of the adrenal glands; both are important
for maintaining high energy. A magnesium drink will often help in
restoring higher energy levels. Many studies have shown that magnesium
supplementation enhances the performance and endurance of long-distance
runners, cross-country skiers, cyclists and swimmers.
Blood pressure
Studies show that oral magnesium has had a very positive
effect on maintaining healthy blood pressure levels. Magnesium makes
blood vessels relax and dilate-necessary for normal blood pressure.
PMS
Magnesium deficiency is common among women with PMS.3 PMS
is greatly exaggerated and worsened by a lack of magnesium. Instant
relief can be obtained by drinking water-soluble magnesium.
Diabetes
Insulin is the hormone that helps with the regulation of
glucose (sugar) metabolism. Magnesium has been found to improve insulin's
response to dietary sugar and to improve the action of insulin in
regulating blood sugar levels.
According to the American Diabetes Association, projections
of a continued rapid growth in the incidence of type 2 diabetes requires
a cost-effective approach that can be widely employed to prevent or
delay this major disorder. Published in the journal Diabetes Care,
two recent studies suggest that an increased intake of magnesium could
have a role in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes.
The solution
The solution is to take magnesium in a form that can be completely
dissolved in water. In this state it will absorb fast into the body,
producing almost instant relief. Natural CalmTM was developed especially
for superior absorption. It handles excess calcium in the body and
gradually reduces accumulated calcium, giving a new lease on life.
Natural Calm is a water-soluble magnesium powder that provides the
most absorbable, effective, fast-acting magnesium available anywhere.
The proprietary process that enables this to occur was discovered
twenty-five years ago by nutritional researcher Peter Gillham and,
according to users, has been producing "miracles" ever since.
This is the reason why Natural Calm is the best-selling powdered or
liquid magnesium. (Ref: SPINS data 2006)
According to Carolyn Dean, MD, author and certified clinical
nutritionist, "The powdered form [of magnesium] is the best because
you start absorbing it straight away, even in the mouth. So, powdered
first, and then capsules, and then tablets. The tablets usually have
a lot of binders and fillers and are harder to dissolve than capsules."
Natural Calm can be taken safely on its own without side
effects.
Natural Calm by itself-without any calcium-will help you
feel more energetic, younger and stronger and give you a multitude
of other benefits, all as a result of the magnesium being available
to do its vital job.
During a high-stress time, Natural Calm can provide the amount
of extra magnesium necessary to forestall magnesium depletion and
damage from stress.
Millions have experienced the stress relief and health benefits
Natural Calm provides. Drink stress away naturally with The Anti-Stress
Drink.

activity, which means you get the advantage of the well-known beneficial
properties of fresh aloe.
Organic noni juice concentrate
Noni has gained popularity for its antioxidant and immune-boosting
properties.
ConcenTrace trace minerals
Organic Life Vitamins features a top-quality full spectrum
of important ionic trace minerals in a low-sodium formulation, 26
times more powerful than other liquid trace minerals.
Trace minerals are important in the proper functioning of
enzyme systems, nerve conduction and muscle activity, assisting with
transfer of nourishment into cells, providing the framework for tissues
and regulation of organ functions. These actions are not possible
without a constant, adequate supply of trace minerals.
Amino acid complex
An exciting plus that comes as part of Organic Life Vitamins
is the incorporation of amino acids. Amino acids are known as the
"building blocks" of the body. Besides building cells and
repairing tissue, they form antibodies to combat invading bacteria
and viruses; they are part of the enzyme and hormonal systems; they
build nucleoproteins (RNA and DNA); they carry oxygen throughout the
body and participate in muscle activity.
Organic Life Vitamins is the only liquid multi-vitamin that
contains 20 different amino acids to help you achieve a whole new
level of health.
OptiMSM
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a naturally occurring sulfur
compound and nutritional component of many foods. MSM supports healthy,
active lifestyles and benefits multiple structures and functions within
the body, including connective tissues and the respiratory system.
OptiMSM is premium distilled MSM manufactured to the most
stringent product specifications and rigorously third-party tested
to ensure purity. Clinical research confirms that OptiMSM is safe
and effective.
Chromium picolinate
Chromium is essential for a healthy metabolism, especially
as you get older. If you aren't getting enough chromium, you may feel
run-down or have trouble keeping weight off.
USDA research indicates that the average American's diet
provides only about 35 mcg a day of chromium. However, the Reference
Daily Intake (RDI) or Recommended Daily Value for chromium is 120
mcg. Organic Life Vitamins supplies you with 150 mcg.
The simple solution
Good nutrition doesn't need to be complicated. Sadly, many
Americans don't use nutritional supplements at all. And of those who
do, a huge number buy nationally advertised anemic drugstore multi-vitamins.
The alternative-for those interested in feeling better and living
longer-has been a large (and expensive) number of individual quality
supplements.
With Organic Life Vitamins, you can meet most of your daily
nutritional needs in one easy-and good-tasting-sip (or mix with juice
or protein shake). You deserve the best. We want you to live a good
life-without undue attention on your body.
