The use of magnesium today is often incorrect, resulting in frequent failures to improve common conditions and complaints. One reason is this: Calcium needs magnesium in order to assimilate into the body. However, when too much calcium is consumed, it will pull magnesium out of the body parts in order to assimilate. This creates a magnesium deficiency and the person will get worse and feel accordingly. This occurs with people who drink pasteurized milk. Milk is about 8 calcium to 1 magnesium and will create a deficiency in magnesium.

Contrary to common belief, magnesium deficiency is very common even amongst those who supplement it regularly

Excess calcium in the body results in calcium deposits such as gallstones, kidney stones, and arthritis). All of these have been known to disappear after taking extra magnesium.

To understand the importance of magnesium let’s consider this: magnesium is the most important mineral in the body, activating over 300 different processes in your body. Among these functions are: digestion, energy production, muscle function, bone formation, creation of new cells, activation of B vitamins, relaxation of muscles, the functioning of your heart, kidneys, adrenals, brain, as well as the nervous system. Magnesium deficiency, to any extent, will interfere with any of these factors.

FATIGUE & LOW ENERGY

Magnesium plays a key role in the energy process within each individual cell, and our overall energy level. When magnesium is low, energy production is inhibited, and the eventual outcome is fatigue and weakness. Magnesium is vital for the maintenance of adequate energy levels. Magnesium is essential in regulating potassium levels, and functioning of the adrenal gland, both important for maintaining high energy levels. This may be why our energy levels drop during stress and heat.

 

NERVOUSNESS & INSOMNIA

Magnesium deficiency can cause insomnia (inability to sleep), as well as waking up with muscle spasms, cramps, tension and stuffiness. Magnesium is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. Without sufficient magnesium the nerve cells cannot give or receive messages, and becomes excitable and highly reactive. This causes the person to become highly sensitive and highly nervous. Noises will seem excessively loud and the person will jump at sudden sounds like a door slamming and will generally be nervous and on edge. Lights can appear to be too bright.
