Intakes of 300-500 mg per day may help promote healthy levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, by influencing the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.

Magnesium is most well known for its role in bone health—and for good reason. Roughly half of the bodys magnesium is found in the skeletal system where it teams up with calcium to keep bones strong and durable. The rest is found in the muscles and other soft tissues where performs its numerous other, wide-ranging functions.

Unfortunately, as important as a healthy supply of magnesium is for our well- being, it is estimated that 75% of Americans dont get the recommended levels in their regular diet. Thats why most of us could benefit from a quality supplemental magnesium source. And thats just what our Swanson Marine Magnesium capsules deliver. They feature Simag™, a purified solvent-free seawater extract that delivers 200 mg of elemental magnesium—half of the recommended daily value—in just one veggie capsule. Its a great source of essential mineral nutrition.
