Benefits of Magnesium

• Build strong bones - most of us would say that calcium is the most important mineral for building strong bones, but did you know that magnesium is just as important? Keeping a ratio of 2:1 of calcium to magnesium is vital for keeping the body in balance.
• Increased memory – magnesium regulates our neurotransmitters that send messages throughout our bodies, and as we age, we may become more forgetful. Increasing magnesium may help with memory.
• Lower blood pressure – Studies have shown a significant benefit to taking a magnesium supplement in keeping blood pressure in check.
• Stress reduction - Magnesium modulates the activity of the body's stress-response system, and studies suggest increasing magnesium intake may help ease stress and minimize the response to fear.
• May help reduce migraines – Several studies have shown that those who suffer from migraines may actually be deficient in magnesium and that taking it might help with migraines.
