Magnesium is present in most foods, especially green leafy vegetables, nuts, beans, meat and fish. Processed foods, dairy products and refined grains are, however, low in magnesium. Magnesium deficiency is characterised by fatigue, mental confusion, irritability, weakness, heart disturbances, poor nerve and muscle function, muscle cramps, insomnia, loss of appetite and a tendency toward stress related symptoms. Organic magnesium compounds, such as magnesium citrate, are better absorbed, utilised and tolerated than inorganic forms (oxides, chlorides, hydrochlorides). Inorganic forms are likely to cause diarrhoea at higher doses whereas organic forms generally do not.

Properties
Magnesium is vital to many cell processes including the management of energy, the formation of proteins and cell replication. It is involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions. The ‘pump’ in cell walls that allows nutrients in and for toxins to leave requires magnesium. By relaxing the muscles of the heart and surrounding blood vessels, magnesium lowers the resistance to blood flow, reduces blood pressure, increase heart efficiency and regulates the heart beat. Vitamin B6 is linked with magnesium in many enzyme systems and increases the levels of magnesium that enter cells.
Contra-indications/Precautions
People with kidney disease or severe heart disease, such as high-grade atrioventricular block
Should not take magnesium supplements.
