What it’s for

Cardiovascular health; Healthy blood flow; Blood pressure support within the normal range

Who it may fit

Adults with low dietary intake of magnesium- and potassium-rich foods or those seeking simple daily electrolyte support for an active lifestyle.

Key actives per serving

• Magnesium (as ZümXR magnesium oxide, magnesium citrate): 250 mg (60% DV)
• Potassium (as potassium chloride): 99 mg (2% DV)

How to take

Take 1 capsule once or twice daily, preferably with meals; if sensitive to magnesium, consider splitting doses to reduce the chance of loose stools.

Diet / Allergen fit

Gluten Free; Non-GMO; Vegetarian capsules

Ingredients explained

Magnesium (as ZümXR magnesium oxide, magnesium citrate)

Magnesium acts as a cofactor in muscle and vascular smooth muscle relaxation and supports electrolyte balance involved in normal blood vessel tone.

Caution: High intakes may cause loose stools; taking with food or splitting doses may improve tolerance.

Potassium (as potassium chloride)

Potassium is the primary intracellular electrolyte that helps regulate fluid balance and nerve and muscle function, influencing normal vascular tone.

Caution: Excess potassium from supplements may be unsuitable for those on potassium-restricted diets or certain medications; check your total daily intake from foods and supplements.

How they work together

Magnesium supports relaxation of vascular smooth muscle and electrolyte balance, while potassium supports cellular fluid balance and normal nerve and muscle signaling. Together they address complementary aspects of vascular tone and electrolyte status.

Safety and tips

Label Warning: High doses of magnesium may have a laxative effect; if this occurs, divide dosing, reduce intake, or stop use. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Consult a physician if being treated for a medical condition or if pregnant or lactating.

Who should be cautious: People with kidney concerns or those on medications that affect potassium or magnesium balance may need extra caution. Those prone to diarrhea or with sensitive digestion may experience laxative effects from magnesium.

Storage: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place.

Maintaining already healthy blood pressure is a major health concern for many Americans. Magnesium and potassium are essential to support already healthy blood pressure. However, the intake of these two minerals from your usual diet is often insufficient. So we’ve created a magnesium/potassium supplement that promotes cardiovascular health and helps maintain already-healthy blood pressure levels.

Magnesium for fast and extended absorption

Your body uses magnesium for a wide range of essential biological reactions. It promotes heart, arterial, bone, muscle health and more. Magnesium helps maintain blood pressure levels already within normal range by relaxing the smooth muscles in your blood vessels and supporting blood vessel function. It also helps inhibit inflammation to support arterial health.

Magnesium also helps transport potassium and calcium across cell membranes, which promotes healthy heart rhythms and supports cardiovascular health. Potassium with Extend-Release Magnesium is made with both magnesium oxide and magnesium citrate. It is optimized for both immediate and prolonged uptake to ensure you get the maximum health benefits.

Potassium, magnesium’s sister mineral

Potassium is involved in many of the same biological reactions as magnesium. Acting as a counterbalance to sodium, it supports vasodilation, or the expanding of your blood vessels. This, in turn, encourages healthy blood flow. Potassium also encourages the body to expel sodium through urine, which supports cardiovascular health.

Conducting a comprehensive analysis of the evidence, researchers concluded potassium supplements help support blood pressure already within a normal range.Potassium is also important for the transport of electrical signals in the heart to support a steady heartbeat.

Magnesium-potassium supplementation and blood pressure

These two major mineral nutrients work together to encourage cardiovascular health and support already healthy blood pressure.
