Magnesium Potassium Aspartate capsules, provided by Douglas Laboratories, deliver  90 mg of magnesium and 90 mg of potassium in their bioavailable aspartate forms.

FUNCTIONS
Magnesium and potassium are minerals with  fundamentally important physiological functions in the body. However, typical diets in the U.S. and other industrialized countries often provide less than adequate amounts of magnesium and potassium. Supplementation with bioavailable aspartate salts of these minerals can help bridge the gapbetween dietary intake and optimal requirement.*

Two thirds of the body’s magnesium content is located in the skeleton. Recent scientific studies show that magnesium supplementation of ovariectomized animals, a model for postmenopausal women, not only promotes bone formation while increasing its dynamic strength, but also prevents bone resorption.*

Potassium is of great physiological importance as well, contributing to the transmission of nerve impulses, the control of skeletal muscle contractility, and to the healthy maintenance of already normal blood pressure. * Potassium is generally well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and the kidneys regulate total body potassium by controlling urinary potassium excretion.*

Aspartic acid is a natural amino acid which occurs widely as a constituent of food proteins. The aspartate salt used in Magnesium Aspartate is a highly absorbed and well tolerated form of magnesium. It actively transports potassium and magnesium from the intestinal lining into the blood stream and cells where they are used for their specific functions.*
