Answer 2

MAGNESIUM: Miracle in Minutes



DID YOU KNOW?

Very few people are aware of the enormous role magnesium plays in our bodies. After oxygen, water, and basic food, magnesium may be the most important element needed by our bodies. So vitally important, yet hardly known.

Magnesium is by far the most important mineral in the body, activating over 300 different biochemical reactions in your body all necessary for your body to function properly.

Magnesium is more important than calcium, potassium or sodium and regulates all three of them. When we get too low on oxygen, water or food, the consequences are serious. Yet, we often don't realize the consequences of magnesium deficiency.

The improper use of magnesium among health professionals and the population in general, is deeply responsible for many of the failures encountered daily in treating chronic health conditions nationwide.

What are the symptoms of a magnesium deficiency? Millions suffer daily from:

Insomnia
Sleep-disorders
Fatigue
Body-tension
Headaches
Heart-disorders
Low energy
High Blood Pressure
PMS
Muscle tension
Backaches
Constipation
Kidney stones
Osteoporosis
Accelerated aging
Depression
Irregular-heartbeat
Anxiety
Muscle cramps
Spasms
Irritability
and the list goes on....

90-95% of the population is deficient, including many of those who already
supplement it. Why? Due to the misleading information presented in common
magnesium texts. As a result, magnesium remains largely misunderstood,
largely misused and the problem goes on undetected.
