Magnesium - "The Missing Mineral"

Magnesium - Missing Health Miracle Mineral

"Deficiency of magnesium is associated with virtually every known disease: heart attacks, diabetes, depression, cancer..."

- Dr. C Norman Shealy M.D., PhD - Author of "Holy Water, Sacred Oil, The Fountain of Youth"

Intake of the 4 major minerals is typically imbalanced

People on a typical Western diet tend to consume too much calcium and sodium, and insufficient magnesium and potassium.   This is often reflected in urine tests which show calcium and sodium being excreted while magnesium and potassium are being retained. All four of these minerals work together in the body. Problems arise when one or more of the minerals are deficient or when the minerals are out of balance with each other.

So what's so special about magnesium? . . . When magnesium is deficient, which it is for many people, then replenishing the body's stores of this important and busy mineral has a healing effect on a wide range of diseases as well as being able to rejuvenate the aging body.

Magnesium deficiency doubles your risk of dying!

  • A study published in the journal "Critical Care" found that a deficiency in magnesium makes you twice as likely to die as other people About 70% of Americans are deficient in this critical mineral!

Magnesium has vital and essential functions in the body

"Without magnesium, muscle and nerve functions are compromised and energy diminished. We are operating with the power turned off. "

- Dr. Jerry Aikawa - The University of Colorado.Author of "Magnesium: Its Biological Significance."

Magnesium++ is the second-most abundant positively charged ion INSIDE the body's cells (potassium is #1) - existing in the body as positive ions in solution or complexed with other tissues (E.g. bone) - not as a silvery-white metal

Magnesium amounts are highest in bones (65%, teeth, heart and brain.

Magnesium is involved in many functions in the body:

  • Metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and amino acids
  • Formation of bones and teeth
  • Normalizes muscle and nerve function
  • Improves INSULIN sensitivity
  • Helps correct abnormal lipoprotein patterns
  • Reduces blood pressure
  • And so much more . . .

Magnesium wears many work hats in the body

The many health benefits of magnesium

Magnesium supplementation helps MANY health problems in those who have a deficiency, since magnesium has a pivotal role in energy production and many cellular metabolic processes.( Links provide more information on magnesium's involvement in these benefits)

Study-supported health benefits of magnesium

Most of us need to supplement or boost our magnesium intake

In the USA, magnesium supplementation is dramatically under-utilized by conventional physicians.
