Magnesium Supplement is essential for numerous reasons.
It is a co-factor for over 100 enzyme reactions in the body. It is important for protein formation of DNA production. It helps turn food into energy and causes muscles to flex by helping transmit electrical impulses across muscles and nerves.
Magnesium maintains normal intracellar Potassium levels, blocks the entry of excessive Calcium, increases themetabolic efficiency of the heart, and decreases insulin resistance in diabetics.
Despite the fact that Magnesium Supplement helps to prevent heart attacks, high blood pressure, heart arrhythmia, asthma and kidney stones, up to 40% of Americans get LESS than 75% of the daily value of Magnesium.
Prescription drugs, diuretics, digitalis, (and other cardio medications), alcohol, caffeine and STRESS all deplete Magnesium levels.
Magnesium needs Calcium to do its job and you should take Calcium and Magnesium in a ratio of about 2:1.
Foods that contain magnesium are brown rice, avacado, *chocolate, spinach, baked potatoes, oatmeal, broccoli, yogurt and bananas.
Warning
People who have kidney failure and severe heart disease should not take Magnesium Supplement unless recommendedby their doctors.

*Are You Depressed?
Depression has been linked to high and low levels of Calcium and Magnesium.
Low levels are often associated with anxieties as well. Prescription drugs, such as sedatives or tranquilizers, are commonly prescribed for depression.
These drugs deplete or interfere with Calcium and Magnesium absorption abilities.
These same prescription drugs are also often prescribed to patients who show signs of anxiety or insomnia. Over time, these drugs will further deplete minerals, when the real cause was possibly low Calcium and Magnesium to begin with!
