Magnesium facts
Where does magnesium come from?
Magnesium sources include nuts, grains, beans, dark green vegetables, fish, meat, dairy products, apples, apricots, avocados, and bananas.
Why do we need magnesium?
Magnesium is needed by the body for formation of bones and teeth, making new cells, activating the B vitamins, relaxing muscles, clotting blood, producing energy, and assists in controlling blood pressure.
What happens if we have a magnesium deficiency?
A deficiency of magnesium can be indicated by fatigue, muscle weakness and spasms, depression, loss of appetite, potassium depletion, irritability, insomnia, hypertension and confusion, or incontinence in older people or women. In children, a magnesium deficiency may be a cause of ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) or bedwetting.
