 Necessity for Magnesium in muscle function

According to the Office of Dietary Supplements, “Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is essential to good health” It is found in nature in green vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds. Also, whole, unrefined grains are a good source. Water is also a good source, if it’s “hard” water. “Soft” water does not contain as many minerals.  Hoodia may be of help. “Magnesium is necessary for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body, such as normal muscle and nerve function, steady heart rhythm, a healthy immune system, and strong bones.”

Magnesium deficiency may occur in people who are taking “antibiotics, diuretics, and certain medications for cancer” . Diabetics, especially those who don’t control their condition carefully, because of increased magnesium loss in urine associated with hyperglycemia. “Low blood levels of magnesium occur in 30% to 60% of alcoholics, and in 90% of patients experiencing alcohol withdrawal.” Older adults (who are likely to be taking drugs) should be especially aware of their need for magnesium.  Hoodia Gordonii supplements often have magnesium.
