Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and, as one might expect, it is essential to good health. Approximately half of the total magnesium in the body is found in our bones. The majority of other half is found in body tissues and organs. Only about 1% of all magnesium in the body is found in blood, but the systems work very hard to keep these levels constant.

Magnesium is essential for more than 300 functions in the body, including maintaining normal muscle and nerve function, regulating the beating of the heart, supporting a healthy immune system, and regulating blood sugar levels. Some scientists believe that it may be valuable for managing such diseases as hypertension and diabetes.

This product is likely to initially appeal to consumers who are primarily interested in convenience. The directions indicate that it need only be taken once per day, making it a better option for those with short memories than other multivitamins that must be taken several times. Unfortunately, one single pill may not be able to deliver complete nutrition. Fortunately, there is a convenient solution that sacrifices neither convenience nor effectiveness. Some manufacturers of high quality supplements package several, concentrated vitamin and mineral supplements in individual, sealed doses, allowing consumers to simply grab a packet on their way out the door.

As previously discussed, Time Release Mega Vita Min is one of several dozen multivitamins in the Puritan’s Pride line. Its name implies that its nutrients will be released over a longer period of time, but unfortunately the product description does not contain any scientific information on how exactly it does this. In order to feel confident that they are making a sound decision, consumers may want to look for a manufacturer that posts detailed information on its ingredients and how exactly they work to make a better product. For greater reassurance, consumers may also want to look for a company that offers free trial samples.
