Magnesium is the fourth most
abundant mineral in the body and
plays an important role in many body
systems – muscles and bones, the
nervous system, heart function,
blood presume regulation and energy
production in cells. Approximately
60-65% of magnesium in the body is
found in your bones, 27% in your
muscles, 7% in other cells and body
fluid.
Deficiency of this mineral may
result in a variety of symptoms and
contribute to a number of
conditions. Therefore, magnesium
supplementation is very beneficial
for many reasons.

You can get magnesium in your diet
from almonds, brewer’s yeast,
cashews, cocoa, mineral water,
molasses, parsnips, sunflower seeds,
soy beans and wholegrain cereals. As
you can see, everyone can benefit
from a magnesium
supplement for optimal health and
wellbeing, especially if the above
foods are lacking in your diet.
If you do have a condition that can
be helped with magnesium, then a
supplement is needed, sometimes at
quite high dosages to have an
effect. Please call me for advice on
the type of magnesium and dosage
required for you. |
