MAGNESIUM AND THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM

Our muscles need magnesium to function smoothly. “Magnesium deficiency certainly qualifies as a principal cause of disease.

No matter what we do with our hearts, postures, or medical treatments, there is simply nothing we can do to adequately enhance our state of health when magnesium supplies are less than adequate in our bodies” says Mark Sircus (2007).

Magnesium deficiency can cause many problems such as back pain, neck pain and joint pain. In a study, participants who used magnesium reduced their chronic lower back pain by 49% (Lukaczer, 2008). There is a link between magnesium deficiency and chronic joint pain since magnesium deficiency causes muscle tension and spasm (Freeman, 1999).
