Magnesium is an essential macro-mineral responsible for over 300 crucial functions in the human body. Magnesium deficiency is linked to many ailments, including gastrointestinal issues and kidney disease. Most Americans don't get enough of this important mineral, therefore supplementation is recommended. But, is it better to use oral supplements or apply a topical magnesium oil spray?
Magnesium is somewhat of a "wonder mineral." Found in certain foods such as whole grains, nuts, and seeds and green leafy vegetables, it’s one of seven essential macro-minerals.
However, due to modern agriculture methods, magnesium in the soil is heavily depleted — which affects how much we can get from our diets.
We need magnesium for a number of essential bodily functions, including:
• Nerve and muscle function regulation
• Healthy blood sugar level maintenance
• Bone, protein and DNA manufacturing
• Maintaining balanced blood pressure
• Immune support
