Magnesium Magic
A Mighty Mineral Essential to Health
Calcium has received an enormous amount of attention. If asked what role calcium plays in health, nearly every woman would answer that calcium is necessary for strong bones. But what about magnesium?
Magnesium and calcium work together, but magnesium may actually play a more important role. It controls the entry of calcium into each and every cell--a physiological event that occurs every time a nerve cell fires! When it comes to building healthy bones, magnesium is as important as calcium and vitamin D are!
