One hundred percent pure maple syrup contains potassium, calcium and magnesium, three minerals that contribute to the maintenance of good health.

A great majority of health professionals agree to say that calcium, potassium and magnesium play an important role in nervous system and muscle functions, as well as in maintaining the balance of heart, renal and adrenal fluids.

In addition, a daily intake of these three minerals can help prevent or treat the following health problems:

Potassium – Fatigue, mental confusion, arrhythmia and lack of muscle coordination.

Calcium – Osteoporosis.

Magnesium – Aging, chronic fatigue, muscle cramps, osteoporosis, stress, hypertension, and menopause.
