Without the proper amount of magnesium, your body cannot absorb calcium effectively.

[Finalapproach29er]

Demonrat brains work exactly like those those of rodents. They eat the food stored by others while crapping on it so everyone else gets sick. They swim in sewers and hang out in dumps.

[SunkenCiv]

Magnesium stearate is found in fun stuff, such as Sweetarts™.

[rmlew]
