Without Replenishing magnesium in the body--you DIE.

Of course, the highest concentrations of magnesium in the body are found in the\xa0heart\xa0and\xa0brain, so it\u2019s little wonder that magnesium depletion leads to problems in these two vital organs. Perhaps you take good care of yourself, and scoff at the idea that you \u2014 or your loved ones \u2014 could be deficient in magnesium. \xa0The majority of people in our country do suffer, usually unknowingly, from magnesium deficiency;\xa0the best way to tell if you are deficient is by paying attention to symptoms.\xa0Insomnia is a symptom of magnesium deficiency. It is also commonly caused by hypoglycemia.\xa0Tics, muscle spasms and cramps, seizures, anxiety, and irregular heart rhythms are among the most\xa0classic signs and symptoms of low magnesium.\n\nMany of the symptoms of low magnesium are not unique to magnesium deficiency, making it difficult to diagnose with 100% accuracy. Thus quite often low magnesium levels go completely unrecognized\u2026 and untreated.\xa0Yet chronic low intake of magnesium is not only extremely common but linked to several disease states, indicating the importance of considering both overt physical symptoms and the presence of other diseases and conditions when considering magnesium status.\xa0\n\nTune in Wednesday at 7:PM est for mone.
