What is Metabolic Syndrome?

Metabolic Syndrome is a combination of metabolic disorders that increases one’s risk for cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and stroke. It is also known as syndrome x or insulin resistance syndrome.

The main features of metabolic syndrome are:

Insulin resistance
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Decreased HDL cholesterol
Elevated triglycerides
Abdominal obesity:
A waist circumference equal to or greater than 35 inches (88cm) in women
A waist circumference equal to or greater than 40 inches (102cm) in men

Some of the causes of metabolic syndrome are family history of type 2 diabetes and heart disease, obesity, lack of activity, and hormonal imbalance.

Magnesium and Metabolic Syndrome
Researchers have determined that the low intakes of dietary magnesium are associated with metabolic syndrome (1-2).

We are strong advocates of the classic patient-physician relationship  especially with respect to prescriptions. Any patient that requires a prescription must have a face to face interaction with their physician. FDA's general position: The FDA, due to the current state of their regulations, has taken the position that virtually all shipments of prescription drugs imported from a Canadian pharmacy by a U.S. consumer will violate the law.   If a woman must take hormone replacement therapy to ease the symptoms of menopause she should take the lowest possible dose for the shortest amount of time.
