PURPOSE OF MAGNESIUM

Many people don’t know about the primary purpose of magnesium. Do you? 

?? Magnesium is needed in a lot of different functions in the body, but its *primary purpose is to act as a calcium antagonist.* Calcium is very toxic in the body unless it’s in normal amounts.

 *Taking 500mg or more of calcium per day could potentially increase your risk of a heart attack or stroke*.

Calcium is essential, but we need it in *smaller* amounts. Calcium doesn’t exit the body very easily. There are even many different disease processes out there that involve the accumulation of calcium. *Magnesium is the key mineral to help prevent this.*

Hypercalcemia is a condition where there is too much calcium in the blood.
