Magnesium, potassium, and taurine are essential for cardiovascular health. The heart-healthy benefits of magnesium and potassium are primarily due to their electrolyte effects on cells and nerves, supporting the nerves' ability to transmit signals and the muscles' ability to contract, both important factors in regulating heart rate. A deficiency in either magnesium or potassium can lead to high blood pressure, and numerous studies have shown that supplementing with either mineral is effective in lowering blood pressure. Even mild potassium deficiencies can lead to nervous system problems, insomnia, and an irregular heartbeat. Nutritional research has also demonstrated taurine's ability to lower blood pressure, stabilize membranes, and regulate heart rate. In repeated studies, taurine has been shown to be effective in regulating heart rate and minimizing damage caused by a lack of oxygen to heart tissue.
AOR's Mag-K-Taurine is a sugar-free electrolyte formula that complements most electrolyte supplements. This product provides an important balance of magnesium and potassium for proper nerve and muscle contractility, as well as taurine for maintaining heart function.
