Magnesium - Essential Nutrient
Magnesium is a critical element in 325+ biochemical reactions in the human body.
Recent research, in France and several other European countries, gives a clue concerning the role of magnesium plays in the transmission of hormones (such as insulin, thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, etc.), neurotransmitters (such as dopamine, catecholamines, serotonin, GABA, etc.), and minerals and mineral electrolytes.
This research concludes that it is magnesium status that controls cell membrane potential and through this means controls uptake and release of many hormones, nutrients and neurotransmitters. It is magnesium that controls the fate of potassium and calcium in the body. If magnesium is insufficient potassium and calcium will be lost in the urine and calcium will be deposited in the soft tissues (kidneys, arteries, joints, brain, etc.).
Magnesium protects the cell from aluminum, mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium and nickel. Evidence is mounting that low levels of magnesium contribute to the heavy metal deposition in the brain that precedes Parkinson´s, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer´s.
It is probable that low total body magnesium contributes to heavy metal toxicity in children and is a participant in the etiology of learning disorders.
Deficiency (from low dietary intake or excess loss) is clinically associated with:
ADD/ADHD Alzheimer´s Angina Anxiety disorders Arrhythmia Arthritis- Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis Asthma Autism Auto immune disorders- all types Cavities Cerebral Palsy- in children from magnesium deficient mothers Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Congestive Heart Disease Constipation Crooked teeth- narrow jaw- in children from magnesium deficient mothers Depression Diabetes- Type I and II Eating disorders- Bulimia, Anorexia Fibromyalgia Gut disorders- including peptic ulcer, Crohn´s disease, colitis, food allergy Heart Disease- Arteriosclerosis, high cholesterol, high triglycerides Heart Disease- in infants born to magnesium deficient mothers High Blood Pressure Hypoglycemia Impaired athletic performance Infantile Seizure- in children from magnesium deficient mothers Insomnia Kidney Stones Lou Gehrig´s Disease Migraines- including cluster type Mitral Valve Prolapse Multiple Sclerosis Muscle cramps Muscle weakness, fatigue Myopia- in children from magnesium deficient mothers Obesity- especially obesity associated with high carbohydrate diets Osteoporosis- just adding magnesium reversed bone loss Parkinson´s Disease PMS- including menstrual pain and irregularities PPH- Primary Pulmonary Hypertension Raynaud´s SIDS- Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Stroke Syndrome X- insulin resistance Thyroid disorders- low, high and auto-immune; low magnesium reduces T4
Other conditions are also associated with chronic and acute low magnesium intake and further research is continuing to confirm relationships.
The following substances and conditions reduce total body magnesium
Alcohol- all forms cause significant losses Amphetamines/Cocaine Burns- with large surface area Calcium- high levels block magnesium absorption Carbohydrates- especially white sugar, high fructose corn syrup, white flour Chronic pain- any cause Coffee- significant losses Cyclosporin- extra magnesium can protect from side-effects Diabetes- magnesium spills with sugar in the urine Diarrhea- any cause Dieting- stress plus lowered intake Diuretics- even potassium sparing diuretics do not spare magnesium Insulin- whether from using insulin or from hyperinsulinemia Over-training- extreme athletic physical conditioning/training Phentermine / Fenfluramine Sodas- especially cola type sodas, both diet and regular Sodium- high refined (table) salt intake Stress- physical and mental- anything that gets your fight or flight reaction Surgery Sweat Thirst ---------------------------------------------------------
Sources of magnesium:
Green vegetable, root vegetable, water, unrefined sea salt.
About the minerals and trace elements:
Although certain body processes are attributed to certain minerals, each mineral needs one or more other minerals to properly function. For instance, a proper calcium-phosphorus balance is necessary to the body in that an imbalance reduces resistance to disease, increases fatigue, weakens intellectual faculties and leads to premature ageing. Magnesium can only be used if calcium and phosphorus are in a proper balance. An overabundance of one mineral can result in a deficiency of another. Obtaining minerals from whole food sources provides the body with the wide variety of minerals it needs. Supplementing with one or two minerals is rarely a good idea unless it is under the supervision of a doctor or nutritional counselor.
