[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 527214, member: 65"] From Marks Daily Apple: Magnesium Ah, magnesium. Everyone touts its importance, and yet few seem to get enough through diet. In fact, most research suggests that only around half of US adults reach the RDA, with low intakes being linked to type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis, heart disease, asthma, and colon cancer. Deficiency Symptoms (Just Some of Them) Insulin resistance. Constipation. Migraines. Restless leg syndrome. Cramping. Hypertension. Fibromyalgia. Why Might Deficiency Occur? Lack of magnesium in the soil. US readers, check out this magnesium soil content map (similar to the selenium soil map) to see how you do. Lack of magnesium-rich foods in the diet, particularly plant foods. Animal foods are relatively magnesium-poor, while plants tend to be magnesium-rich. How many people do you know who really eat lots of leafy greens? Both Primal and SAD eaters are therefore at risk. Removal of magnesium from drinking water. I suspect magnesium-rich water (as opposed to purified, depleted modern water) was how Grok got a lot of his magnesium. Where to Get It Leafy greens, especially swiss chard and spinach. Nuts, seeds, dark chocolate, espresso, and halibut. Mineral water. One brand, Gerolsteiner, is particularly high in magnesium. Or you could find a spring nearby for some real (free) spring water. Supplement. The chelated magnesiums (those ending in -ate, like citrate, glycinate, or taurate) tend to be the best absorbed. You can also apply magnesium oil topically for transdermal absorption. In my experience, transdermal magnesium absorbs best on the rib cage and inner arms (youll know from the tingling and the vivid dreams). Dosage 400 milligrams daily is the minimum, Id say. Aim to get it from food if possible. Also, Listened to a Podcast from Underground Wellness about Magnesium. I remember a comment about how the body needs magnesium to metabalize sugar. 56 molecules of magnesium to metabolize 1 molecule of sugar. When sugar was pure ground sugar cane, there was magnesium in the sugar cane. In today's processing of sugar, the magnesium is taken out. And he said the magnesium is also taken out of regular salt too. And he also said the body needs potassium to take in the magnesium... so if one is low it would make sense that the other is low.
