Magnesium is essential for your brain and bone health, blood glucose control, DNA and genetic material, blood pressure, detoxification processes and for activating vitamin D in your body. It’s believed that about 80% of Americans don’t get enough. And as you age, your body becomes less efficient at absorbing magnesium.
Low levels of magnesium are linked to heart and brain issues, migraines, blood pressure and blood sugar concerns, and insulin resistance.
Now there’s the Vitamin D, Magnesium & Omega-3 PLUS Elements Test Kit, an all-in-one, at-home blood spot test for measuring your vitamin D, magnesium and omega-3 levels along with essential elements, like copper, selenium and zinc, with toxic minerals cadmium, lead and mercury.
Because only 1% of the magnesium in your body is actually found in your bloodstream, a regular serum magnesium test doesn’t give you an accurate measurement. Instead the Vitamin D, Magnesium & Omega-3 PLUS elements Test Kit measures the amount of magnesium in your red blood cells with the more sensitive RBC blood test.
When your body becomes deficient in magnesium, it pulls the magnesium stored in your red blood cells and deposits it into the serum of your blood. Therefore, a standard serum magnesium blood test may show magnesium levels as normal even though the red blood cell’s stores of magnesium are depleted.
Take it a step further, and find out your blood levels of vitamin D and omega-3s along with these essential minerals and unwanted heavy metals:
-
Magnesium
-
Selenium
-
Zinc
-
Copper
-
Cadmium
-
Lead
-
Mercury
Much like magnesium, selenium and zinc deficiencies are a widespread concern for people around the world. These important minerals are needed for cell health, immune function, normal healthy lipid levels and a healthy inflammatory response.
As far as what you don’t want in your body – cadmium, lead and mercury are three of the most potentially harmful metals that can be found in your blood. You’re exposed to them through the air, water, medicines, dental amalgams and certain foods.
When your body can’t remove these heavy metals through its normal detoxification processes, they can accumulate and impact your thinking and memory, behavior and organ function.
