"The Magnesium Deficiency Epidemic: The Miracle Mineral You Can't Afford to Ignore!"

Updated: May 15, 2024



Magnesium is a game-changer in the world of essential nutrients, boasting a plethora of health benefits that are simply too good to miss. From banishing menstrual cramps to soothing muscle spasms and beyond, its versatile applications make it a must-have in your wellness arsenal. Let’s dive deeper into the extraordinary powers of magnesium and uncover why it’s the missing piece in your health puzzle.

The Magnesium Deficiency Epidemic

Why is magnesium deficiency so rampant? There are multiple culprits at play. Firstly, modern agricultural practices have depleted our soil of magnesium, leading to a deficiency in our food supply. Secondly, our stress-laden lifestyles and consumption of substances like alcohol, coffee, and sugar wreak havoc on our magnesium levels. Even pharmaceutical medications can deplete this vital mineral from our bodies.

Unlocking the Power of Magnesium

Magnesium is not just another mineral; it’s a powerhouse of health benefits. Here’s why you need to make it a priority in your daily regimen:

1. Repair your DNA!

Magnesium allows for DNA repair. DNA can become damaged from toxins, when DNA become damaged dangerous mutations can form causing all kind of serious problems including cancer.

2. Protect yourself from Chemicals in the food, air and water!

If your body is low in Magnesium your body cannot produce the powerful antioxidant, Glutathione. Antioxidants prevent free radical damage to the cells. Free radical damage to cells causes accelerated aging, inflammatory disorders, autoimmune, and cancers. Glutathione helps defend and repair the body from things like cigarette smoke, alcohol, radiation and harmful chemicals in our food, air and water.

3. Prevent calcification of glands and tissues!

If you are supplementing with Calcium to maintain healthy bone density, Magnesium is extremely important.Magnesium keeps calcium out of cells where it is not needed. We only want the calcium to go into our bones and our teeth, otherwise it can cause dangerous side effects like hardening of the arteries (calcium causes arteries to lose their natural elasticity — which can also lead to high blood pressure) and of eye lens (cataracts).

Calcium can even cause calcification of mitochondria! Because the mitochondria is so important to the function of the body this accelerates the aging process and is implicated in parkinsons, disease, MS and other such diseases.

We can actually relate our biological age to the ratio of the amount of calcium to magnesium on the inside and outside of our cells and because almost all of us are deficient in magnesium, this makes supplementing calcium without magnesium very dangerous and counterproductive to health.

Thankfully it is possible to remove calcium from these unwanted places with the diligent use of magnesium.

4. Healthy Hormones!

Magnesium is used to make hormones, it is also a cofactor for transporting the hormones into the cells carrying them across the cell wall into the cell

5. Magnesium allows insulin to carry glucose into the cells.

If magnesium is low the insulin and glucose can build up and the blood sugar can get very high.

6. Promotes relaxation in the head and neck muscles.

Providing headache relief from chronic sufferers from headaches and migraines

7. Lowers blood pressure.

Magnesium relaxes the walls in the arteries allowing the artery to open. When we are stressed the magnesium flushes out of the body and this can cause the arteries to constrict, which causes blood pressure to go up till Magnesium is replenished.

8. Back to bone health!

Calcium makes the bones hard and brittle (like calk), magnesium is what keeps the bones pliable so they don’t break.

How do we replenish?

Thankfully, there is an easy solution to this modern problem! Research has pinpointed magnesium chloride as the optimal form of magnesium, especially when applied to the skin. Topical application ensures efficient absorption without the risk of digestive discomfort or nutrient malabsorption associated with oral supplementation. With topical magnesium, your skin absorbs precisely what it needs, offering a safe and effective way to replenish magnesium levels without the risk of overdoing it. However, If you start using topical and feel a bit itchy after use, that is a sign that you have been deficient in Magnesium. The initial itchiness is caused by the blood vessels opening to receive the magnesium and it will subside after a few uses when your magnesium levels have replenished. If deficient it can be tempting to slather a bunch on all at once but because of this take it slow especially if you are a first time user. Magnesium is a vasodilator so it relaxes muscles and increases blood flow through capillaries so this may also cause some sensations as well.
