    Enzymatic Therapy Krebs Cycle Chelates - The ET Krebs series are small mineral supplement tablets available in many combinations including ones with calcium magnesium. Enzymatic Therapy's bio-active minerals are chelated to the Krebs cycle intermediates (citrate, fumarate, malate, succinate and alpha ketoglutarate). These organic acids are responsible for energy production within every cell of the body. Minerals chelated to the Krebs cycle are better absorbed and utilized.

    NSI Potassium & Magnesium contains the proper ratio of potassium and magnesium that is in a (very) healthy diet and is a good way to boost the levels of these nutrients. Primarily used to improve heart function and circulation disorders. Potassium works with sodium to help regulate fluids in the cells, and to equalize the acid-alkaline balance in the blood. This aids in proper water balance and helps synthesize proteins. It has been shown to promote healthier blood pressure levels. Potassium and magnesium are also used by the autonomic nervous system, which controls heart beat, brain functions and other processes. Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including supporting normal muscle and nerve function, heart rhythm and healthy bones. It is also involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. The body cannot store potassium without magnesium, so this is why they are sometimes supplemented together. See the Mineral Section for more information.
    2 Capsules provides
    Magnesium (elemental) 40 mg 10%
    from: Magnesium Aspartate 200 mg
    Potassium (elemental) 120 mg 3%

Among the least expensive and efficient cal-mag supplements since only two tablets per day are necessary to get 100% or more RDA of calcium and magnesium. See the Mineral Section for more information.
