In today’s quick video, we’re going to run over some really important facts of what I think is probably the number one mineral in the whole body. And that is magnesium!
Magnesium is the 9th most abundant mineral in the universe and the 4th most abundant mineral in the body. Magnesium plays important roles in regulating more than 600 different chemical processes.
Yet close to 50% of us do not get adequate levels of magnesium in our diet.1 It’s also “the most commonly under-diagnosed electrolyte deficiency in medical practice.”2
A major contributor to magnesium deficiency is actually our fluoridated municipal water supply. Fluoride literally binds to magnesium making it unabsorbable!
When considering supplementation, it’s important to keep in mind is that there are a number of different types of magnesium. They all serve a different function in the body.
Don’t go checking your magnesium levels in old labs because, despite its obvious importance it’s rarely tested. Even though it only costs about $5, your insurance company won’t cover it.
Please, share this information with somebody that you care about.
