Vitamin >>> Magnesium >>>

Magnesium is more than a trace element for humans —it is essential for every biologic function in the human body, including glucose metabolism, muscle contraction, and nerve conduction, to name a few. Magnesium works in conjunction with calcium to regulate muscular activity of the heart. Research shows that a magnesium deficient diet may be a critical factor in heart disease, while supplementation can sometimes even increase the recovery rate for those who have suffered an attack. If that wasn't enough, magnesium may also play a role in alleviating premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms and fighting depression. Eating a healthy, balanced diet that includes seafood and other meats, green vegetables, and dairy products can provide all the needed magnesium. Unfortunately, the diet of most Americans is composed primarily of refined foods, causing a magnesium deficiency. The National Research Council recommends supplementation in the following amounts:

Men : 350 milligrams
Women : 280 milligrams
Pregnant women : additional 40 milligrams
Lactating women : additional 60 to 75 milligram

Magnesium has been shown to be toxic for patients with severely decreased
kidney function and in those with high-grade atrioventricular blocks or
bifascicular blocks.
