Multi minerals

A growing body of evidence suggests that several minerals play an important role in joint health. Naturally occurring minerals such as Magnesium, Copper, Manganese, Selenium and Zinc have shown anti-inflammatory effects in human studies.

Osean 74 is made up of 74 marine multi-minerals, and includes the minerals Magnesium, Copper, Manganese, Selenium and Zinc, that have be shown anti-inflammatory effects all derived from a single, natural plant source, Lithothamnion seaweed species. That is where we get our name Osean 74 from.

During the growth phase of this red seaweed, essential minerals from the sea are absorbed by the plant. These minerals are important for our overall wellbeing.

This unique multi-mineral mix delivers excellent bioavailability, bioactivity and optimises mineral levels in the body.

Amongst the most important minerals found in Osean 74 is Magnesium. This mineral has a vital role in practically all metabolic pathways of the body. It functions as an activator of enzymes (about 300 are known) involved in the metabolism of glucids, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, in the synthesis of H2 transporters and in all reactions in the formation and use of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), i.e. it is involved in the creation of energy for systems to work.

An inadequate intake of Magnesium has been linked as a possible contributing factor toward the development of cardio vascular disease and increased fragility of bones in Osteoporotic patients. Evidence also suggests that Magnesium plays a role in regulating blood pressure.

Magnesium and Calcium

Magnesium controls the fate of calcium in the body. If there is insufficient Magnesium in the body Calcium will either be lost in the urine or will be deposited in the soft tissues (kidneys, arteries, joints, brain, etc.). Magnesium and Calcium are paired minerals that work best together.

Each Osean 74 Kids and Active capsule contains 55mgs of Magnesium and each Osean 50+ capsule contains 80mgs of Magnesium to ensure maximum efficacy.
