What is an Autoimmune Disorder and Could You Have One?

August 27th, 2018 by Paula Gallagher

autoimmuneI was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis over 15 years ago. This type of hypothyroidism is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the thyroid tissue, resulting in decreased production of thyroid hormone. It is estimated that Hashimoto’s is just one of possibly hundreds of autoimmune disorders, which include lupus, celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, fibromyalgia and psoriasis.

Pathway MYO-MAG : Energy Support

July 8th, 2015 by Paula Gallagher

myo-mag_1I recently had a customer email me about how tired she was. Her diet was pretty good, she was sleeping well, and blood work was coming back normal. She eventually tried numerous supplements. The one she had success with was Pathway Myo-Mag.

Pathway Myo-Mag is a supplement that contains ingredients known to participate in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the body. ATP basically is our energy source and it is in every single one of our cells. One capsule of Myo-Mag contains 100 mg of magnesium and 440 mg of malic acid. Important B vitamins are also included for added energy support.

It is known that when certain nutrients are not present in adequate amounts within the mitochondria, a vicious cycle can occur in which ATP is not created in amounts sufficient for proper cell function. Insufficient amounts of ATP mean that the B vitamins will not adequately be produced, leading to improper metabolism and further reductions in ATP production. The result: fatigue and  muscle weakness.

What are the benefits of Pathway Myo-Mag? Continue reading “Pathway MYO-MAG : Energy Support”
