Product and Supplements Testing Is A Good Thing

If the Integrity, authenticity and reliability of a company and or product is important to you, look for the NFS or iOS label within their product line. The testing and certification results of all natural based products to determine what's in their product many times will be considered when deciding which products you're willing to consume.  Too many athletes, parents and kids are taking supplements (which they should) without being told the whole truth. Wouldn't you feel better knowing that what's on the label is in the product? Would you also get a better feeling knowing that you're also not consuming any extra hidden ingredients that's not on the label?

When a company is willing to have their products go through the intense independent testing process of NFS or iOS, just know it's a long tedious and expensive encounter. This is one reason why only a few companies send only a few other products through the certification process and not their entire product line. Some companies have dozens or even hundreds of products, so imagine what the time and cost it would be to send all.
 
No matter how big the company name and how long they've been doing business, they owe it to their current and potential consumers to have their product credibility authenticity is proven. If you're looking for the highest quality products, look for the certification labels from the NFS and iOS.  If a company chooses not to certify any of their products, that doesn't mean they're a bad company or they may be hiding something in their products.  After all,  the NFS and iOS certifications may affect the product to cost more. Someone may have to pay for the testing cost process and it just maybe you. 
 
The NSF mark is your assurance that the product has been tested by one of the most respected independent certification organizations in existence today. It is valued by consumers, manufacturers, retailers and regulatory agencies worldwide. The NSF certification mark on a product means that the product complies with all standard requirements. NSF conducts periodic unannounced inspections and product testing to verify that the product continues to comply with the standard.

What’s In Your Supplements?

The testing and certification results of all natural based products to determine what's in their product many times will be considered when deciding which products you're willing to consume.  Too many athletes, parents and kids are taking supplements (which they should) without being told the whole truth.

Magnesium The Indispensable Mineral

According to Dr. Wallach, we know there are 60 essential minerals necessary for optimal health. Minerals are necessary for a variety of functions within the body and having any mineral deficiency poses an imbalance and jeopardizes your heath. While all of the 60 essential minerals are important, magnesium is more than just essential. Necessary for over 300 chemical reactions in the body, magnesium plays an exceedingly important role in your health. However, an estimated 70-80% of the U.S. population does not consume enough magnesium in their diets.

Just recently, the results of a study from The Netherlands revealed that daily magnesium supplementation (350 mg of magnesium citrate) may reduce the stiffness of arteries in overweight and obese adults.1 Previous studies have also found that adequate magnesium intake helps keep the heart rhythm steady, supports healthy blood pressure, and also reduces one’s risk of heart disease and stroke. Additionally, magnesium deficiencies have been associated with metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, unhealthy cholesterol levels, and abdominal fat). Individuals with the highest average intake of magnesium were at 31% lower risk of metabolic syndrome.

Aside from supporting cardiovascular health, magnesium is also a powerful mineral when it comes to bone health. Previous research has shown it to be beneficial in the prevention of osteoporosis; playing a vital role in bone formation and supporting healthy bone density; which is especially important in aging adults. About 50 – 60% of the magnesium in your body is stored in your bones.

We could spend an entire day going over the 300 reactions that magnesium is involved in. From energy production to immune system heath to glucose metabolism, magnesium is necessary for hundreds of areas in the body. Previous research has found that healthy magnesium levels in the body play a vital role in helping you adapt to rhythms of night and day; supporting a good night’s rest.2 This only solidifies that magnesium is needed everywhere.

Although magnesium can be found naturally in many vegetables, fruits, nuts and legumes, the best way to ensure you’re getting your necessary dose of magnesium, is through supplementation. CAL Toddy™ contains 600 mg of magnesium, in addition to abundant amounts of calcium, magnesium, zinc and manganese. Taken in the evening, CAL Toddy™ can also support healthy sleep and muscle recovery for those participating in strenuous exercise sessions.

Make sure you’re getting your daily dose of Magnesium! Prevention is the key!
