Note: I believe that magnesium deficiency spans far beyond the parameters of this study. My guess is that most people would do well to include more magnesium-rich foods and/or supplements in their daily routine.


"CONCLUSIONS:Magnesium balance may be a suitable indicator of magnesium depletion under experimental conditions. Magnesium deficiency resulting from feeding a diet that would not be considered having an atypical menu induces heart arrhythmias, impairs glucose homeostasis, and alters cholesterol and oxidative metabolism in post menopausal women.

A dietary intake of about 4.12 mmol (100 mg) Mg/8.4 MJ is inadequate for healthy adults and may result in compromised cardiovascular health and glycemic control in post menopausal women."

Magnesium Deficiency

I agree w/you Harry; Women especially are usually
deficient in Magnesium, and not just PM women.
Many take a Cal/Mag supplement thinking that's enuff.
But Dr. Nan Fuchs says more Mag alone is actually needed.
I've upped my intake to 2 Mags daily and a Cal/Mag only
every other day.

My bowels are as loose they can be without posing a problem so taking more mag. orally is not an option. I've been considering some of the transdermal magnesium oils or gels. Any suggestiong or recommendations?
