Potassium and Magnesium are essential minerals, and Aspatate is an amino acid. This complex helps support the healthy functioning of the cardiovascular, muscular, nervous, and adrenal systems.
The Aspartates of Potassium and Magnesium make a great sports supplement. Aspartate and magnesium have a reputation for treating chronic fatigue syndrome, because of their role in generating ATP, the energy molecule.
Aspartate also detoxifies cellular waste such as ammonia, while potassium and magnesium replace levels typically lost during work outs. Potassium also plays a crucial role in nerve conduction and muscle health. This formula helps prevent post exercise fatigue.
All three nutrients are involved in cardiovascular health. They have a positive effect on smooth muscle and nerve health, and magnesium and aspartate promote energy production, which directly improves heart tissue functioning. Potassium has a regulatory effect on on electrolyte and fluid balance in the body, and may help lower blood pressure. Magnesium promotes artery dilation, thereby improving oxygen delivery to the heart and extremities.
Magnesium deficiency is often associated with diabetes, headaches, and muscular cramping. Supplementation may help reduce symptoms of stress, encourage proper sleep, and alleviate menstrual pain.
Too much dietary sodium, and junk food, which is fairly common in most western diets, may increase the need for more potassium and magnesium. Potassium levels are compromised by the regular use of diuretics and laxatives.
