Supplementing the diet with magnesium can help treat constipation, depression, dizziness, muscle weakness, twitching and PMS. Magnesium aids in maintaining proper PH balance. Magnesium deficiency may be a major cause of fatal cardiac arrhythmia, hypertension, sudden cardiac arrest, asthma, chronic fatigue, chronic pain syndrome, depression, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome and pulmonary disorders. Research has proven minerals that are fully reacted have a higher assimilation rate than other minerals. Studies prove that this patented process of surrounding a mineral with a specific amino acid produces higher absorption rates.
