You don’t hear much about magnesium, yet about 80% of people don’t get enough of it. When you don’t get enough this can cause health problems, especially as we get older. The body uses magnesium in many different ways so it’s important to always remember to take our vitamins. 

Magnesium is found to help the body in many different ways such as:

Making energy molecules that your body uses

To help keep teeth and bones healthy

To keep the body’s blood flowing helping the heart to be healthy

To help the foods work in the body the way they should.

Starved for Food Fun Facts? Well did you know that most people can keep their Mg levels in the healthy range by simply adding a supplement as well as by eating a varied diet that includes nuts, seeds, plenty of dark-green leafy vegetables, beans and even cocoa.
