There’s no question that our body needs magnesium in order to function properly. It’s a co-factor in over 300 enzyme systems that regulate a variety of biochemical reactions in our bodies, so you could say it is a vital mineral for our health.

Without Magnesium, our bodies would cease to function. The mineral is involved in the processes of nearly every nerve and muscle in the body, without it, we wouldn’t be able to control our muscles, including the ever-important life giving muscle that is our heart.

Doctor Bastomski’s comments:

Not mentioned in this fine article is how to properly dose yourself with magnesium. Start with approximately 200mg per day. The next day you add 100mg so you are at a total of 300mg per day. Taking it in divided doses with meals is a good way to take it. The next day add another 100mg so now you are 400mg per day. Keep adding 100 mg per day until you start to have loose stools. You then know the upper limit of what your supplemental magnesium dose should be. Back down from this dose that causes loose stools by about 100 mg and stay at that level until you notice loose stools yet again and if so then again reduce your daily magnesium level and if no symptoms occur then you can stay at that level longer term. The usual dose for most people of magnesium is about 400 mg per day.
