Fibralgia

Millions of North Americans suffer from chronic muscle soreness, stiffness and fatigue, a condition known as fibromyalgia. If the body is deficient in energy producing fuel, it breaks down muscle protein to create energy. This processs may cause pain, fatigue and other problems.

Researchers have recently found that many people with these signs of discomfort respond to supplements containing malic acid and magnesium.

Malic acid is found naturally in high concentration in apples, grapes and cranberries. Along with magnesium, it provides fuel that generates energy to operate the body.

Nature's Sunshine has combined these two nutrients in a product called Fibralgia. Dr. Alvin Segelman, Nature's Sunshine's vice president of health sciences, suggests a daily regime for chronic muscle fatigue 2 Fibralgia twice daily, 1 St. Johns Wort three times daily, 2 - 4 Super Oil or Flax Seed Oil daily, 6 Lecithin daily and 2 Super Vitamins & Minerals daily.

For reasons unknown, fibromyalgia primarily affects women. In one study published in the Journal of Nutritional Medicine, 15 fibromyalgia patients were given 1200 - 2400 mg of malic acid daily with 300 - 600 mg of magnesium for 4 - 6 weeks. All patients reported a marked decrease in pain which continued while receiving the malic acid. When the women were switched to a placebo, their condition deteriorated within 48 hours
