Electrolytes also play a crucial role in regulating mood and promoting restful sleep. With Elixir, you’re fueling your body and mind with everything you need to feel and perform your best every day. Elixir includes:

  • Magnesium
  • Thiamin
  • Calcium
  • Potassium
  •  Sodium

Magnesium

Depression

A randomized clinical trial demonstrated that magnesium supplementation significantly improved symptoms of depression and anxiety in adults with mild-to-moderate depression. 

Pregnancy and Migraine:

An umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses indicated strong evidence that magnesium supplementation can decrease the need for hospitalization in pregnancy and reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine relapses. 

 Insulin Sensitivity and Glucose Control:

A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) found that magnesium supplementation significantly improved the Homeostasis Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) index and fasting glucose levels, particularly when supplementation lasted for four months or longer. Another study showed that magnesium supplementation improved insulin sensitivity and metabolic control in type 2 diabetic subjects with decreased serum magnesium levels. 

Metabolic Syndrome:

Magnesium supplementation has been shown to improve components of metabolic syndrome, including reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, and triglycerides.  

Physical Performance in Elderly:

A study found that magnesium supplementation improved physical performance in healthy elderly women, particularly in those with dietary magnesium intake below the Recommended Dietary Allowance.

Potassium

Blood Pressure Reduction:

Potassium supplementation has been shown to lower blood pressure in both hypertensive and normotensive individuals. A systematic review and meta-analysis found that increased potassium intake reduced systolic blood pressure by 3.49 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure by 1.96 mm Hg in adults with hypertension. The American Heart Association also supports the role of increased potassium intake in reducing blood pressure. 

Cardiovascular Health:

Higher potassium intake is associated with a reduced risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease. Prospective cohort studies and outcome trials have shown that increasing potassium intake can reduce cardiovascular disease mortality, primarily due to its blood pressure-lowering effects. Additionally, potassium supplementation has been linked to improved endothelial function and arterial compliance. 

Renal Function and Hydration:

Potassium supplementation can influence renal tubular function and water absorption. A study demonstrated that potassium supplementation increased aquaporin 2 excretion and decreased free water clearance, indicating enhanced water reabsorption in the distal nephron. 

Bone Health and Kidney Stones:

Increased potassium intake can lower urinary calcium excretion, which is beneficial in managing hypercalciuria and preventing kidney stones. It may also reduce the risk of osteoporosis. 

Metabolic Effects:

Potassium supplementation has been shown to improve glucose tolerance and may prevent the development of diabetes, particularly in patients on thiazide diuretics.
