MAGNESIUM…according to Health Equations
Seven years of hand-milking Butterscotch (an old retired Guernsey dairy cow, pictured) inspired this Health Equations formula. Magnesium Plus delivers minerals the same way raw (unpasteurized) milk delivers minerals. Take less, absorb more and get the six minerals needed to utilize magnesium.
- CONTAINS MAGNESIUM IN SYNERGISTIC COMBINATION with other trace minerals — calcium, copper, manganese, chromium and molybdenum. Magnesium Plus is a proven and effective delivery system that carries magnesium directly to the site of absorption in the small intestine.
- OPTIMIZES MAGNESIUM ABSORPTION: Unbound, free charged magnesium is delivered directly to its absorption site in the small intestine. No other magnesium or mineral supplement does this. Delivery of free and charged minerals to their site of absorption in the small intestine is necessary to absorb minerals.
- COST EFFECTIVE & SAFE because you absorb all the magnesium you take. Unabsorbed minerals interfere with the absorption of other vital nutrients, unfavorably increase or decrease intestinal motility, and adversely affect the bowel microorganism population.
- A COMPLETE & EFFECTIVE MINERAL SUPPLEMENT when combined with an electrolyte solution.
- 90 capsules per bottle.

MAGNESIUM Plus by Health Equations
… magnesium according to nature
… an oral magnesium supplement surpassing all others
A natural delivery system … magnesium and six synergistic minerals are delivered and absorbed the way they are from food.
An ideal delivery system … you take less and get more.
An innovative delivery system … ensuring all the magnesium you take gets absorbed.
A safe delivery system … unabsorbed magnesium from commonly used magnesium chelates and salts interfere with the absorption of other vital nutrients.
An essential delivery system … unlike typical magnesium supplements absorption is not dependent on adequate stomach acid, deplete in a large percent of the population.
An effective delivery system … unlike typical magnesium supplements magnesium absorption from HEq Mg+ is not compromised by food, calcium or other supplements; nor is absorption diminished by gut inflammation/leaky gut.
A necessary delivery system … slow intestinal transit is necessary for magnesium absorption; while magnesium from commonly used magnesium products significantly increase transit time, magnesium from HEq Mg+ does not increase transit time in intestines.
A potent delivery system … HEq Mg+ delivers six minerals - calcium, zinc, copper, chromium and molybdenum – in specific ratios to magnesium essential for magnesium utilization in cells.

All magnesium supplements are not equal. With most, you only absorb a small percentage of the magnesium you take. The advantage of the Health Equations Magnesium Plus is that you get what you take: when you take 50mg of Magnesium Plus, you will absorb 50mg of the magnesium.
The magnesium in other supplements is a magnesium salt and is bound to one or more of the following: citrate, carbonate, aspartate, malate, carbonate, orotate, sulfate, glycinate, and/or oxide. Acid in the stomach must release the magnesium from the salt so it can be absorbed. There are two disadvantages of relying on the release of magnesium from a salt in the stomach:
- Without enough stomach acid, the magnesium will not be released; stomach acid is lacking in over half the population.
- Magnesium that is released by the stomach acid is released prematurely; it is not yet at the site of absorption in the small intestine.
Once released from the salt, the magnesium is free and charged. Therefore, most of the magnesium becomes bound again–usually to fatty acids–before it reaches the small intestine. Magnesium attached to fatty acids can never be absorbed. The bound magnesium and fatty acids are lost in the stool. Further, there is now the possibility of a fatty acid deficiency. Moreover, the fatty acids, with the magnesium attached, decrease the beneficial organisms in the bowel while increasing the unwanted harmful organisms. Digestive symptoms and malnutrition will follow. In contrast, Health Equations Magnesium Plus does not interfere with absorption of other nutrients.
Health Equations Magnesium Plus attaches the free and charged magnesium to clay particles with heat. This complex of clay and magnesium has a ‘protective’ negative charge, which keeps the magnesium from being released by acid in the stomach. The negative charge also ensures that the magnesium will be released from the clay carrier in the alkaline environment of the small intestine, precisely at the site of their absorption. Now, the free and positively charged magnesium moves immediately to the negatively charged lining of the small intestine, where carrier proteins transport the magnesium across the wall of the intestine.
Ninety-nine percent of magnesium is within the cells. Health Equations Magnesium Plus contains six other minerals necessary for cell function. Optimal cell function requires specific ratios of calcium, zinc, copper, manganese, chromium and molybdenum to magnesium within the cells. The Health Equations Magnesium Plus has the same ratios of these six minerals to magnesium as found in healthy cells.
HEq Magnesium Plus is taken conveniently at the end of meals, whereas magnesium salts must be taken on an empty stomach in order to ensure some magnesium absorption from the magnesium salts. This requires taking the magnesium salt at least ½ hour before food or 2 hours after food, preferably with an acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. Yet even under these inconvenient circumstances, there is little certainty of the amount of magnesium absorbed.
