I look like a walking pharmacy these days - The power of Magnesium

If I do not feel too good myself, I often search the internet. The doctor has advised me several times not to doctor myself but as stubborn as I am ...

Before I know it I type all sorts of ailments as a search term in the Google search engine.

Magnesium deficiency

During one of these searches, I found a huge list of ailments based on one search term, possibly caused by a magnesium deficiency.

Apparently Magnesium is one of the minerals that we are most short of.

The list of symptoms of a magnesium deficiency is long:

• Cramped muscles
• Tension
• Nervousness
• Headache / migraine
• Depression
• Stiffened, hardened and cramped muscles
• Tense nerves
• Fatigue
• Menstrual complaints
• Sleep problems
• Excess
• Hyperactivity
• Deprivation symptoms
• Vibrant eye
• Unrest
• Irritability
• Feeling cold
• Poor circulation
• Dizziness

The magnesium consumption of the body increases as it is more exposed to stress. This stress can be mental or physical in nature. It is therefore advisable to pay extra attention to magnesium when you are exercising a lot or under great pressure.

Exercising a lot will certainly not be the cause of my problems in my situation.

But Cramped muscles, Tension, Nervousness, Stiffened, hardened and cramped muscles, Tense nerves, Fatigue, Deprivation symptoms, Vibrant eye and Poor circulation could just mean that I have a magnesium deficiency.

Fortunately, and do not ask why, I found a pot of magnesium with vitamin B6 in the cupboard.

I took 3 of them. And whether it really helps or is a big placebo effect, I feel a little better now.

If it does not work then I do not think it will harm either.

But beware, when a label does not mention which form of magnesium is used, then this is almost always the cheap oxide form. Magnesium oxide is a laxative and is also used for this in the hospital. The body takes almost nothing of this form while the laxative effect many nutrients are excreted, without the body has been able to absorb. Magnesium oxide should always be avoided unless the laxative effect is desired.
There are many types of magnesium on the market, but these are the better absorptive forms of magnesium: acetate, chloride, citrate, gluconate, glycinate, lactate, malate, succinate, sulphate, tartrate and taurate.

I was already given magnesium citrate by a doctor.
