What is magnesium good for?

Magnesium for Energy.

Magnesium is involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions, including

ATP production, and activation of the sodium-potassium pump. An underlying magnesium deficiency can result in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Many of these sufferers have been found to have low red blood cell magnesium status.

Magnesium is good for cardiovascular health

Magnesium has been referred to as “nature’s calcium channel-blocker” due to its ability to block calcium’s entry into heart and muscle cells. The resultant effect is improved vascular resistance, and improved overall heart function. Magnesium has been shown to be useful in a number of cardiovascular conditions including; acute myocardial infarction, angina, arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, intermittent claudication, and high blood pressure.

Magnesium as a BRONCHIAL RELAXANT 

magnesium has been shown to relax the bronchial smooth muscles, resulting in easier breathing. This may be particularly helpful in conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
