magnesium
Magnesium is involved in over 300 metabolic reactions; it’s a necessity for energy production, nerve, muscle & cardiac function, central nervous system communications, the utilization of calcium, as well as the synthesis of both DNA & the antioxidant glutathione. Magnesium has well known synergistic effects when it’s combined with vitamin D, glycine, niacinamide, and GABA supporting nutrients.
Alcohol consumption, gastrointestinal conditions, persistent physical and/or emotional stress and certain health conditions can often rob your body of magnesium; check your medications too… there are a host of prescription and OTC drugs that can significantly deplete magnesium levels.* In addition, persistently low magnesium can often result in an underproduction of stomach acid, which in turn can cause gastrointestinal syndromes, inflammatory conditions and a host of chronic health issues.
