by Kim Andersen July 16, 2024

Magnesium is the second most common deficiency in North America, potassium is the most common and neither is surprising given that they both are found in chlorophyll, which comes from green, leafy vegetables and seaweed.

Magnesium is used throughout the body and is a major player in creating, maintaining and utilizing hundreds of functions. It is a cofactor (helper) for over 300 enzymes involved in energy metabolization, protein production (hair, nails, skin, muscle) and the regulation of the heart’s beating rhythm; to keep it smooth, relaxed and regular. Magnesium deficiency is the #1 cause of heart attacks in the USA (2021).

Magnesium also helps with blood pressure. It alleviates headaches, muscle cramps and helps to maintain muscle tone. Helps you absorb vitamin D and regulate calcium levels. Magnesium also relaxes the Central Nervous System, helping you to sleep and deal with and manage the effects of stress. These factors have a direct impact on blood pressure and general well-being.
