Magnesium

Magnesium is a nutrient of minerals which is important to both diabetes and hypertension.

The benefits of taking magnesium supplement are as follow:

Mg++ maintains normal muscle and nerve function.

It help to relieve leg cramps and other cramps in your body by relaxing muscles.

It works with Calcium and Co-Q10 to strengthen your heart beat.

Mg++ is essential in the formation of bones and teeth.

It keeps heart rhythm steady.

It support immune system integrity.

Mg++ regulate blood sugar levels, promote normal blood sugar level.

It involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis.


Dietary Mg++ is absorbed in small intestines, it excreted through the kidneys.

Natural source of Mg++: spinach,beans, seeds, whole grains. nuts. and others.

The reason we need Mg++ supplement is that with aging, our ability to absorb Mg++ from foods are
decreasing,

Our body does not synthesis Mg++ by itself.

And also, supplement of Mg++ are better form to be absorbed by our body.

I take 250 mg of Magnesium Oxide a day ( one pill ), with my meal in the morning.

For the last 5+ years I have taken it for my health.
