Magnesium deficiency is characterised by fatigue, mental confusion, irritability, weakness, heart disturbances, poor nerve and muscle function, muscle cramps, insomnia, loss of appetite and a tendency toward stress related symptoms. Organic magnesium compounds, such as magnesium amino acid chelate, are better absorbed, utilised and tolerated than inorganic forms oxides, chlorides, hydrochlorides. Inorganic forms are likely to cause diarrhoea at higher doses whereas organic forms generally do not.The Benefits of MagnesiumFatigue low levels of magnesium in the red blood cells have been linked with chronic fatigue syndrome.Circulation magnesium is essential to the proper function of the heart and blood vessels. It has been used to prevent heart disease and strokes and to protect against a wide range of circulatory system diseases. There is evidence to show that magnesium stabilises heart rhythms, reduces blood pressure and increases the pumping efficiency of the heart.Stress and anxiety low levels of magnesium have been associated with a greater tendency to suffer from stress. Magnesium is also supplemented to relieve symptoms of anxiety, including muscular rigidity in the back and shoulders.Muscle pain muscle pain fibromyalgia has been associated with low magnesium levels in the muscle cells.Migraine and tension headaches people who get migraines and tension headaches tend to have lower levels of magnesium.

It is involved in more than 300 enzymatic reactions. The ‘pump’ in cell walls that allows nutrients in and for toxins to leave requires magnesium. By relaxing the muscles of the heart and surrounding blood vessels, magnesium lowers the resistance to blood flow, reduces blood pressure, increase heart efficiency and regulates the heart beat. Vitamin B6 is linked with magnesium in many enzyme systems and increases the levels of magnesium that enter cells.
