Re: Re: Magnesium Deficiency Relates to Endocrine and Mood Disorders

March 4, 2008

This is not necessarily my own opinion (though I find it very interesting),

rather the author's, due to a whole bunch of studies, research, and the

like. It is an 80 page thing, and it has all the explanations contained

within the article, including the one about calcium and magnesium balancing

each other; it explains all the whys and wherefores within the article,

including some other supplements. Magnesium does not cause calcium to be

used better. It is rather vitamin D that causes better utilization of

calcium. The deal with cal and mag is that they have totally opposite

effects from each other, and that's why both are needed, to balance the

opposition to each other. This is well known. It is the stuff inside of

the article with all the little " muddy " details (which I had a hard time

muddling through and yawning in the process, lol!) that explains all this.

There looks to be over 50 citations on this, maybe more. The article is

loaded with studies.
