This study speaks to finding out issues with magnesium and calcium create heart dysfunction, but you can make sure you do your part and make those minerals directly available to be used.
Up to 70% of people don’t get enough magnesium, and a lot don’t get enough calcium.
The involvement of the endoplasmic reticulum points toward protein synthesis, which magnesium plays a critical role in. As much as the present discovery is in the context of cardiac function, my guess is that many other systems are affected as well. Most notably, Alzheimer’s Disease involves misfolded proteins, with magnesium deficiency a common feature of the disease.
I don’t take calcium pills for fear of getting more deposits in my arteries. I don’t focus on calcium at all in my diet.
How do you get enough calcuim?
How much magnesium do you take in supplemental form?
Don’t get your magnesium at the same time as your calcium.
They bind together and pass through your intestines.
I take a supplement called “ZMA” from Biotest at night (zinc and magnesium). It’s highly bioavailabile. Milk in the morning.
