myLot Discussions| Has Anyone Tried Magnesium Supplement for Fibro | | I have been reading some new studies that are saying magnesium supplement can actually help Firbromyalgia. My mom has this disorder, and has had it for many years. The studies say that because magnesium helps to repair nerve, and muscles, as well as maintain their health, that may explain why the supplements help. I am curious if anyone has tried this, and had positive results. | |

Published: Tuesday, June 26, 2007 When was the last time you thought about how much magnesium you take in? For many people, this mineral has been flying under the radar for too long. But in scientific circles, it's been at the centre of a lot of research -- studies that show magnesium's time has come, especially when a disease such as diabetes is reaching epidemic proportions.Magnesium is found in a host of foods with star status-- whole grains, green leafy vegetables, legumes and nuts. Frequently, other nutrients, such as fibre, folate and antioxidants are given all the credit for disease-fighting potential. But research shows that magnesium deserves more attention than it's been getting.Excess abdominal weight and a cluster of disease risks called the metabolic syndrome go hand in hand. High blood pressure, elevated levels of triglycerides, potentially... | |

| | | Somebody knows the properties therapeutical of the Magnesium Chloride? | | Magnesium is nothing short of a miracle mineral in its healing effect on a wide range of diseases as well as in its ability to rejuvenate the aging body. We know that it is essential for many enzyme reactions, especially in regard to cellular energy production, for the health of the brain and nervous system and also for healthy teeth and bones. However, it may come as a surprise that in the form of magnesium chloride it is also an impressive infection fighter.

| | Magnesium for the Heart | | Adequate levels of magnesium are essential for the heart muscle. Those who die from heart attacks have very low magnesium but high calcium levels in their heart muscles. Patients with coronary heart disease who have been treated with large amounts of magnesium survived better than those with drug treatment. Magnesium dilates the arteries of the heart and lowers cholesterol and fat levels. High calcium levels, on the other hand, constrict the heart arteries and increase the risk of heart attacks. Calcium deposits in the walls of the arteries contribute to the development of arteriosclerosis. The arteries become hard and rigid, thereby restricting the blood flow and causing high blood pressure. In addition, such inelastic blood vessels may easily rupture and cause strokes. Countries with the highest calcium to magnesium ratios (high calcium and low magnesium levels) in soil and water have the highest incidence of cardiovascular disease. At the top of the list is Australia. | |
| | Magnesium chloride | | Magnesium is an essential mineral for human nutrition.
Magnesium in the body serves several important metabolic functions. It plays a role in the production and transport of energy. It is also important for the contraction and relaxation of muscles.
