Fibromyalgia

Recent research has shown that FM (fibromyalgia) patients may be deficient in certain compounds required for the synthesis of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate).

One of the most crucial elements for ATP synthesis is magnesium. Research suggests FM patients have below-normal levels of magnesium. Low levels of magnesium can contribute to PMS, headaches, muscle cramping, muscle spasms, heart palpitations and even heart attacks. Many common foods Americans eat deplete magnesium reserves. According to reports, at least 85 percent of magnesium is removed by eating bleached and refined flour in breads, pasta and other prepared wheat products.

One of the most crucial elements for ATP synthesis is magnesium. Soft drinks have a high phosphorus content, which also reduces magnesium levels in the body. Even high-calcium supplementation, without adequate magnesium, will deplete the body's level of magnesium. Malic Acid Aluminum toxicity may play a role in symptoms experienced by magnesium-deficient FM patients. As a preventative measure, adequate amounts of magnesium can help block the toxic effects of aluminum. However, the most potent; aluminum detoxifier is malic acid.

Malic acid is especially effective at decreasing aluminum toxicity in the brain. Alzheimer's Disease patients have been found to have unusually high levels of aluminum in their brains. It was once assumed that these people had ingested large amounts of aluminum during their lifetimes. However, while that may be true, it is now thought that how much aluminum is consumed is not nearly as important as how well our bodies can detoxify and eliminate the substance.

Treatment with malic acid has been shown to greatly increase the fecal and urinary excretion of aluminum and reduce the concentration of aluminum found in various organs and tissues.

Clinical tests are proving malic acid to be a great asset in the treatment of FM and chronic pain.

Inosine

Inosine is a metabolic activator. It has been used for pre-heavy training by "world class" power-lifters, Soviet and Eastern Block strength athletes to increase oxygen-carrying capacity and promote levels of ATP a high energy compound that helps muscle contraction.

Inosine increases the body's natural ability to handle strenuous exercise, workouts, intense training programs, and competitive events. Inosine belongs to a chemical family called purine nucleotides, the structural units of your body's RNA (ribonucleic acid) and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Inosine easily penetrates the cell walls of both your cardiac and skeletal muscles there inosine helps the generation of ATP. Inosine boosts the production of ATP thus improving respiration and oxygen transport.
