A deficiency of magnesium can cause many problems, such as an inability to sleep, digestive problems, hypertension (high blood pressure).

Magnesium relaxes nerves, relieves tension and helps with sleep. Why? Because it relaxes your nerves so you can sleep. An inability to sleep could be said to be inability to relax.

Magnesium is necessary for proper brain, nerve, lung and digestive function. It, with calcium, works to make your nerves function properly so they can send the correct messages to all your organs, glands and muscles so they can carry out your body's functions.

Magnesium is responsible for your body's energy at a cellular level. If you have adequate levels of magnesium, aging can be slowed down or even reverted.

It plays a key role in more than 300 chemical reactions in your body. It is vital for the processing of carbohydrates and amino acids (digestive system), reduces your risk of diabetes, improves your heart function and so many other functions. You can imagine that, being responsible for more than 300 chemical reactions, how much work can get done if you have sufficient levels. It also keeps other minerals such as calcium, sodium and potassium in balance. Deficiencies cause many body functions to be less than optimum and you feel these with certain symptoms. However, by the time you feel the symptoms, those organs and glands have probably been suffering shortages for some time.

Symptoms of a magnesium deficiency:

·    Emotional: irritability, depression, anxiety, restlessness (hyperactivity) and mood  swings. Could deficiencies be the cause of increased use of psychiatric drugs?
·    Structural: chronic fatigue and weakness, muscle spasms, osteoporosis
·    Cardiovascular: high blood pressure, fatty yellow arterial plaque, irregular heartbeat
·    Neurological: migraine headaches, excessive noise and pain sensitivity
·    Blood sugar difficulties
·    Premenstrual syndrome
·    Inability to sleep

Causes of magnesium deficiency:

·    Alcohol, sodas, sugar
·    Chocolate and coffee
·    High animal protein intake
·    Isolated calcium supplementation creates imbalances and contributes to magnesium loss
·    Stress
·    Loud music or noise
·    High dairy intake
·    High salt intake
·    Excessive heat

Proper Balance Calcium and Magnesium

Calcium and magnesium should be in a 2:1 ratio in order for your body to be able absorb either of them. If you have a deficiency of one or the other, your body will just draw the missing one from organs, glands, tissues, bones resulting in deficiencies of the missing mineral. That's why it's important to take a supplement that has this balanced properly.

In addition, because calcium and magnesium are both alkaline, they can't be absorbed unless they have the correct pH. To achieve the correct pH, they need to be taken with apple cider vinegar or vitamin C.

We opted for the vitamin C because the apple cider vinegar can be quite a challenge for some people because of the taste.  Our Instant CalMag-C has been formulated in a laboratory to provide the correct 2:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium, along with vitamin C to ensure the correct pH is present.

There is so much attention on female issues like stress, mood swings, hot flashes (night sweats), lowered libido, fatigue, insomnia, but what about the men in our lives?

Male menopause happens as surely as female menopause occurs. The big difference is that with us women we know we’re having PMS or are going through menopause or are pre-menopausal because we have a measuring stick called menstruation – or lack of – and “everybody knows” they must tread carefully around us at certain times of the month. Of course, not all of us go through this, but you know what I mean.

Many men – and women – don’t even know there’s such a thing as male menopause so when a man gets moody or has lowered libido or gets aggressive or can’t sleep or is depressed, we women don’t always understand.  After all, it’s us who go through menopause, not them.  More on What About The Man or Men in Your Life?

A lot of attention is placed on vitamins and not enough on minerals. ALL the cells in your body depend on minerals as they are the spark plugs of your body.If you have enough minerals, your body can manufacture most vitamins it needs.

Working, exercizing, playing, walking, even working or driving in air-conditioned spaces cause the burn-up or excretion of minerals which can cause dehydration.

Drinking tons of liquids - even water - and still unable to quench your thirst is a sure sign that you are dehydrated, probably not from lack of liquid but from the lack of minerals.  More on Are Headaches Stopping You?

The Usual Solution

Headaches can be caused by any number of things. Taking pills is the most common solution most people use – over-the-counter headache pills. If chronic, many people get tests like MRI’s done, but it is rare that any abnormalities are found and they usually just continue taking their pain-killers.The usual solution is to suppress the symptom.

The Solution to the Problem BECOMES the Problem

Taking pills for headaches only covers the symptom for a while and then it usually returns, with more vengeance in many cases. That is because the pain-killers themselves start to CAUSE the headaches because they are essentially drugs and as the body can’t get rid of the leftover bits of drug, the excess gets stored in the fatty tissue of your body (this is part of your body's protective mechanism) and when you’re tired or stressed or exercising, they get released from the fatty tissue and spill back into your bloodstream, thus sparking off another headache. This becomes a bit of a vicious circle and often the time between headaches shorten with headaches lasting increasingly longer than before.

Solving the headache problem means getting to the bottom of what’s causing it and there are some simple things you can do to determine this. More on Headaches - The Source and The Solution
