Magnesium is a natural tranquilizer. Called the "anti-stress mineral," magnesium aids in relaxing nerves, relieving tension, assisting digestion, activating enzymes important for protein and carbohydrate metabolism and for modulating the electrical potential across all cell membranes.
Magnesium is important in the production and transfer of energy, muscle contraction and relaxation and nerve conduction. Magnesium is stored in the bowel, nerves and ligaments. Chlorophyll and green vegetables contain large amounts of Magnesium.
Since ionic Magnesium does not build up in the body, it never reaches toxic levels. Therefore feel free to find the amount that works best for you.
Annette Hasalone-Eve, N.D. suggests that our intake of Magnesium to Calcium should be a 2:1 ratio in favor of Magnesium. Using equal amounts of Angstrom Minerals™ Calcium and Angstrom Minerals™ Magnesium provides that important balance. Magnesium is usually best taken in the morning, and Calcium in the evening. These minerals both use the same cell receptor sites. Therefore separating Magnesium from Calcium reduces the competition for cell entry.
