Importance of Magnesium in Biochemical Reactions

Magnesium plays a crucial role in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body. Issues like nerve impulse transmission, muscle relaxation, and energy production are tied to magnesium levels. Deficiency often stems from poor dietary choices or factors like inflammation in the gut, fluoride exposure, or water quality. The mineral deficiency can lead to various symptoms like muscle cramping, fatigue, and high blood pressure, with severe cases potentially resulting in pathological calcification.

Exploring the Vital Role of Magnesium and Signs of Deficiency

4min

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the most dangerous symptom of magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions. It’s important for energy production, and the transmission of nerve impulses, and it allows your muscles to relax.

Magnesium deficiency can occur if you’re not getting enough magnesium from your diet or if you’re consuming processed foods, carbohydrates, or alcohol. Gut inflammation, phytates, fluoride, phosphates, and soft water interfere with magnesium absorption.

Signs of a magnesium deficiency include the following:

12. Muscle cramping

11. Loss of appetite

10. Nystagmus

9. Fatigue

8. High blood pressure

7. Abnormal heart rhythm

6. Low vitamin D

5. Potassium deficiency

4. Migraines

3. Blood sugar issues

2. High levels of cortisol

1. Pathological calcification

Pathological calcification is the most dangerous symptom of magnesium deficiency. Magnesium stops calcium buildup in your cells. If there’s too much calcium in the cell, it will self-destruct. Magnesium also helps prevent oxidative stress from occurring in the mitochondria.

Calcium buildup can lead to several problems, including heart attack, neuroinflammation in the brain, and inflammation in other parts of the body. Magnesium, vitamin K2, zinc, vitamin D, and boron may help prevent calcification of the soft tissues.
