Our bodies don't have much magnesium, but whatever quantity is there is imperative! Magnesium is important as a cofactor for over a hundred enzymes and it is involved in over 300 metabolic reactions.
Magnesium is responsible for detoxification, heart rhythm and aids in synthesis of our DNA and RNA. Magnesium is a big deal!

Warning! Taking too much magnesium can cause overdose. This is one reason why I recommend getting magnesium from food and not pills. Please take heed to my warnings!
The RDA for magnesium is 315-400mg. For reference, a banana has about 30mg of magnesium. If you have any of the conditions mentioned above you may need to adjust your amounts accordingly
For one on one direction, schedule a call with me to boost your magnesium through food.
This vitamin is best to get from food and not supplements or pills. However, if you must get a magnesium supplement try to make sure that it is a liquid and not a pill, if possible.
The supplement I would recommend is from Trace Minerals Research and the reason I am recommending it is because it is one of few supplements that are a liquid. (They are always best)
Second reason is because it has other trace minerals like boron and potassium naturally occuring from the sea!
In love with your health,
