HEALTH BENEFITS
I took an interest in Magnesium because of its muscle- and bone- supporting properties.
HOW I USE MAGNESIUM
As a woman with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and disabilities,I use Magnesium to help manage my MS, by helping prevent the damage that could be caused by my Paraplegia. Paraplegia can cause tissue-loss, and inflammation due to that tissue loss. When I discovered that inflammation causes MS relapses, with relapses being the worsening of current or creation of new MS symptoms, I incorporated Magnesium supplements into my beneficial diet to maintain my bones and muscles, and avoid inflammation.
And managing inflammation, helps manage my MS.
HAS MAGNESIUM HELPED ME?
Yes. I believe Magnesium has contributed to the maintenance of my muscles and bones.
CAUTION
Due to the ever possible occurrence of product contamination, I always double check my sources and check ingredient lists before trying a new item.
Allergic reactions can happen to anyone, so I do my research and keep my eyes open to any potentially dangerous reactions when I try anything new. Some people can experience side effects from Magnesium, such as stomach upset, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
Ingesting large amounts of anything can be harmful, like Magnesium which can cause irregular heart beats and low blood pressure, so I always consume in moderation.
