SUSTAINED RELEASE

VitalMag™

Mineral Supplement
Magnesium Delivered Slow and Easy


Eight out of ten Americans get less than the recommended intake of magnesium in their diets.

THE CHALLENGE

Processing food and softening water strip magnesium out of many food sources.This magnesium
shortfall is compounded because many people aren’t aware of its importance and almost never
give second thoughts to the amount of magnesium in their diets.

But magnesium is necessary for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body, according to
the National Institutes of Health.Vital to heart health, magnesium helps to keep a steady heart
rhythm and retain normal blood pressure. It’s also critical for helping maintain normal muscle and
nerve function, supporting a healthy immune system, and keeping bones strong.What’s more,
magnesium has also been linked to reducing symptoms of PMS.

VitalMag proprietary formula and gel-diffusion delivery system bring all of these benefits:
