Bio-Magnesium Bio-Magnesium (Dimagnesium malate) combines magnesium with malic acid, a weak organic acid found in vegetables and fruit, especially apples. The weak bond with magnesium makes it readily soluble in the body. Malic acid crosses the blood-brain barrier easily and binds to aluminum in the brain, preventing an unwelcome build-up of the metal. Additionally it is the key component of several energy making chemical reactions in the body. Researchers have used “Dimagnesium malate” successfully to treat the chronic fatigue, pain and insomnia of fibromyalgia. Slight deficiencies both in magnesium and malic acid are found with fibromyalgia, a common disease which affects mainly women in their fifties. Magnesium is a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation. Magnesium is required for energy production and also contributes to the structural development of bone and is required for the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and, the antioxidant glutathione. Magnesium also plays a role in the active transport of calcium and potassium ions across cell membranes, a process that is important to nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction, and normal heart rhythm.
