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

Intake
of the 4 major minerals is typically imbalanced
People on a typical Western diet tend to
consume too muchcalciumandsodium, and insufficient
magnesium andpotassium.
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
Magnesiumamounts are highest in bones (65%, teeth, heart and brain.
Magnesium is involved in many functions in the
body:
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)
