Dear friends, I would like to share 3 points:
1) A pertinent article on Subclinical magnesium deficiency. The abstract:
Because serum magnesium does not reflect intracellular magnesium, the latter making up more than 99% of total body magnesium, most cases of magnesium deficiency are undiagnosed. Furthermore, because of chronic diseases, medications, decreases in food crop magnesium contents, and the availability of refined and processed foods, the vast majority of people in modern societies are at risk for magnesium deficiency. Certain individuals will need to supplement with magnesium in order to prevent suboptimal magnesium deficiency, especially if trying to obtain an optimal magnesium status to prevent chronic disease. Subclinical magnesium deficiency increases the risk of numerous types of cardiovascular disease, costs nations around the world an incalculable amount of healthcare costs and suffering, and should be considered a public health crisis. That an easy, cost-effective strategy exists to prevent and treat subclinical magnesium deficiency should provide an urgent call to action.
Please also examine the list of potential clinical and lab signs of magnesium deficiency, as summarized in box 3 and box 4.
2) Dr. Carolyn Dean has written an interesting book entitled: The Magnesium Miracle. For those who wish to conduct further research, it might be worth checking out.
3) Personal anecdote: Magnesium supplementation has been instrumental in helping me recover and cope with various health woes.
Please share your experiences with vitamin supplements.
