🔵 Magnesium is the 4th most abundant nutrient in the body & the second most abundant Intracellular cation.
🔵 It is essential for so many functions in the human body.
🔵 Magnesium is required to make hundreds of enzymes work and assists with thousands of others.
🔵 It is essential for so many functions in the human body.
🔵 Magnesium is required to make hundreds of enzymes work and assists with thousands of others.
🔵 The most important of these is the enzyme reaction that involves the creation of energy by activating adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the fundamental energy storage molecule of the body.
🔵 Magnesium along with some other nutrients are essential to create structural components of the body
🔵 RNA and DNA, which contain the genetic blueprints for the formation of all the protein molecules in the body, are also dependent on magnesium.

🔵 Electrical signal transmission along the nerves also depend on Magnesium.
🔵 Muscle cells need Magnesium inorder to relax. When there is excess calcium & not enough Magnesium, muscles are not relaxed as it should be.

🔵 Magnesium is necessary for insulin to open cell membranes for glucose.
So without adequate Magnesium, your Insulin sensitivity is decreased.
🔵 Magnesium is also a cofactor in Vitamin D activation.
Magnesium deficiency = Vitamin D deficiency!

Main reasons for Mg deficiency
❌ Food Processing
❌ Fluorinated water/Fluoride
❌ Low stomach acid
❌ Excess Calcium
❌ Stress
❌ Antinutrients
❌ Vitamin B1, Selenium deficiency
🔵 For this reason it's nearly impossible to get adequate amount of Magnesium from diet alone.

🔵 Less than 1% of the body’s Magnesium is carried in the bloodstream.
🔵 60% of the Magnesium is stored in the bones, 20% in muscles & rest in soft tissues.
🔵 Less than 1% of the body’s Magnesium is carried in the bloodstream.
🔵 60% of the Magnesium is stored in the bones, 20% in muscles & rest in soft tissues.
🔵 If you are low in available Magnesium, your body will leach it out of your bones to supply your needs.
🔵 For this reason, serum Magnesium level may be normal even when you have a deficiency on a cellular level.

🔵 Only an RBC Magnesium test or a Hair mineral test can give the real picture. (Both not available in India)

🔵 Magnesium Supplements are available in Multiple forms.
Magnesium oxide, taurate, glycinate, citrate, malate, magnesium oil..
🔵 Elemental Magnesium in all these forms are different & their absorption capacity is also different.
🔵 Magnesium Supplements are available in Multiple forms.
Magnesium oxide, taurate, glycinate, citrate, malate, magnesium oil..
🔵 Elemental Magnesium in all these forms are different & their absorption capacity is also different.
🔵 Generally, Magnesium glycinate is most suitable for adults
Magnesium taurate for heart patients
Magnesium threonate for brain function.
etc
🔵 The RDA value for Magnesium is around 420mg. You can comfortably take around that much without any side effects (loose stools).

🔵 Who shouldn't Supplement Magnesium
1. Those with chronic kidney disease
2. Excessively slow heart rate
3. Myasthenia gravis (very rare condition)
🔵 All others will benefit from supplementing Magnesium.
