What are the two major symptoms of fibromyalgia? Pain and fatigue. Why? And what can you do to relieve both? We’re going to tell you but be prepared for the answer. It’s simpler than you may think. 

Symptoms like pain and fatigue are the body’s way of telling you that something is not “normal”. Symptoms can be “loud” or “quiet”.   For example, pain may signal a trauma or injury that shouts for  immediate attention. The more severe the injury, the “louder” the pain.  Fatigue, on the other hand, is the quiet type. You lack the energy you need to think or move but you are not sure why. Have you been sleeping poorly lately? Or tired after extra physical exertion? No matter what the cause, including fibromyalgia, the answer for both of these symptoms  is the same: magnesium.   

Why is magnesium required for fibromyalgia? And more importantly why is the right form so critical?  Although no cause is known for fibro, several theories abound on what causes the many symptoms that vary from person to person. One is that fibromyalgia may be due to pain amplification. Through a dysfunction in how pain messages are “processed”, the nervous system loses its ability to down regulate the pain once it starts and also amplifies the pain it does process. If you think of pain in terms of  volume, it’s like turning the radio up super loud and then the knob won’t work to turn the volume back down. You literally do feel pain  more than normal people.  

Additionally, researchers have found that mitochondria, the energy producers in each cell, may not be functioning optimally.  Nutritional deficiencies may be the cause. Two nutrients that are critical for  mitochondria function are magnesium and CoQ10. Hard truth: Both nutrients are found low in fibromyalgia!  Harder truth: few people with fibro are checked for  nutritional deficiencies. 

Many healthcare professionals who treat fibro believe you cannot get better without magnesium. Physicians like Mark Pellegrino, M.D., who treats fibromyalgia and has seen more than  40,000 patients in his practice. The fact is that  magnesium is one of the essential macronutrients everybody  needs every day. The problem is that most people don’t get the 400-500 mg daily requirement because  it is lacking in the standard  American diet. According to the Institutes of Health, more than 75% of Americans could have low magnesium levels.

Simple, you say, I’ll just take a supplement. Hold on! That’s a good idea but you need to know how to pick the best one to do the job right. As the adage goes, you only get a supplement benefit if you absorb it. Nothing is truer than with magnesium supplements! Different forms of magnesium are available. You will waste your money taking  a poor quality magnesium and   defeat the purpose of restoring a deficiency. Bioavailability  matters! If your GI tract cannot absorb it, it will “flush” it out, usually with diarrhea, cramping or other unpleasant GI discomfort. 

Why not take a magnesium that is 2-3 times more absorbable than poorer quality ones and easier on the GI system? Through a patented chelate process, Albion magnesium bis-glycinate and di-malate are shown in research studies  to do just that.   

 One warning: you will have to read the product label carefully. Turn your bottle to look at the Supplement Facts where the individual and other ingredients are listed. Reputable companies who follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) set by the Natural Products Association and the FDA must  follow strict label standards. The form of magnesium must be listed, along with the amount provided in each dose. If the magnesium does not list Albion Magnesium Bis-Glycinate or Albion Di-Magnesium Malate, , it is not the true and tested magnesium form. If   glycinate is listed without the Albion  trademark, it is not the patented form that absorbs 2-3 times better.   

If you find magnesium oxide, citrate or chloride listed  in the Supplement Facts -- the most common forms found in supplements  – rethink your choice. They are  not the best  magnesium  forms for fibromyalgia or your health.  Fibro-Care™ is.

More than 30 years ago  we formulated  Fibro-Care™with a biochemist who knew about Albion and that their magnesium was the most bioavailable. Fibro-Care™ contains two Albion magnesium not found in other products. We also went a step further --  we added the co-factors necessary for this magnesium formula to be complete. 

Minerals need cofactor vitamins to be fully utilized by the body so B1 and B6 are included, too, along with manganese, another helpful Albion mineral .Plus, Fibro-C™ adds extra  synergy to  the nutrients. To support the mitochondria even more, we added malic acid, another  nutrient  involved in the energy cycle. Malic acid  helps decrease pain, too. 

You shouldn't suffer with fibromyalgia.  By improving magnesium levels with, Fibro-Care™, you won't. Fibro-Care™ increases energy to muscles and nerves and helps restore mitochondrial function to answer fibromyalgia’s two biggest symptoms, pain and fatigue.  

One final truth:  Intracellular magnesium is responsible for more than 600 enzyme reactions everywhere in the body. You will want to make sure you get enough by taking at least the minimum dose of 400-500 mg a day (that’s only 4 capsules of Fibro-Care™ and completely do-able!)  

Restoring magnesium levels is not only required for your fibromyalgia – it is required  for your good health, too.
